| With increased patient accountability in the patient-centered medical home, accountable care organizations and other emerging healthcare delivery models, healthcare organizations need to engage members and patients to change their behaviors in ways that increase quality, reduce cost and improve their overall healthcare experience.
The consumer engagement team at Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey is targeting four key areas within its healthcare delivery models to engage consumers, including: consumer insight, technology, behavioral economics and outreach and communications.
