Member engagement has been a crucial component within the healthcare industry, and it is growing in importance. It is believed that an engaged member helps an organization achieve the “triple aim,” which is better care, improved patient satisfaction, and lower costs. Mitchell Morris estimates that healthcare administrative costs total around $200 billion a year in the U.S.
Starting in 2023, CMS put forward key changes to its Star measures criteria. One of the newly proposed measures is on member engagement with more weight than previous years. While this change goes into effect in the year 2023, member surveys have started to evaluate member perception. This will be playing a major role when it comes to the overall score for Star measures.
Why use AI for healthcare member engagement strategies?
It is crucial to build an AI healthcare member engagement strategy within an organization sooner rather than later. The benefits of using AI and machine learning as part of member engagement include being able to predict the probability of engagement, as well as being able to fully automate the engagement workflow whether through email, text, or member apps. This automation takes the guesswork and potential human error out of implementing member engagement strategies, helps you better understand population- and member- level insights, and makes measuring progress easier.
