Webcast: Engaging patients through a patient portal
Engaging patients in the delivery of health care has the potential to improve health outcomes and patient satisfaction. Patient Initiated Follow Up (PIFU) is one way of making appointments more responsive to patient need, thereby minimising the risk of DNAs. Some studies have shown that PIFU in outpatient care achieves similar health outcomes to standard care across a diverse range of conditions, and generally reduces total number of appointments over time. It also improves patient and clinician satisfaction compared to regular scheduling.
