Knowledge is power, when it is shared.
Understanding a patient’s real life changes everything.
The ability to track and study a patient’s real world health experiences and behavior in real time was once just a hope in the hearts of health care professionals.
Nearly ten years ago, Self Care Catalyst’s team of patient advocates, patient experience managers and patient relationship experts gave substance to that hope.
Our team of software architects and data scientists gave reality to it.
The global research community was introduced to the Health Storylines personalized health monitoring and information app. It had a catalytic effect.
It changed everything.
Everything needed to change.
As any health care professional knows, when a patient discusses their health or disease in a clinical setting their story is retrospective. It can be superficial and prone to the inaccuracies of memory and the blind spots of anxiety. Humans are like that.
Cultural influences, social determinants of health, behavioral biases, health literacy and other influencing factors are almost impossible to track meaningfully in the time-pressed elevated emotional atmosphere of a clinical setting.
But they are critical to giving context. And shaping better patient outcomes.
Using patient data to characterize the real world.
Without collecting patient experience data in the real world, we are still focusing only on what happens to the patient at the point of care.
Not what happens in their real lives.
Health policy makers support the importance of capturing real patient experience data.
“Our inability to generate the needed evidence efficiently and in a cost-effective manner will continue to be a barrier to innovation and to the quality of care around the world.”
