Technology enabled behavioral changes can improve care for diabetic patients. A patient engagement system uses algorithms to analyze patient data like A1C and lipid levels, then sends alerts and reminders to both patients and providers. This increases recommended testing compliance up to 74% and supports best practices. Studies show such systems can reduce hospital admissions, ER visits, and overall costs while improving population health metrics. Engaging patients and providers in the care process through technology results in better financial, operational and health outcomes for medical groups.
