What You Should Know:
– Fullscript, a leading healthcare platform for whole person care, announced the publication of two studies, with combined results proving the effectiveness of whole person care when using the Fullscript platform, highlighting how it can be both achievable and scalable, and showcasing the dual benefits for both patients and providers.
– The studies measured the impact of Fullscript’s platform in driving better engagement and clinical outcomes for patients, while also driving greater workflow efficiencies for providers, respectively.
Transforming Healthcare: The Importance of Whole Person Care
Today’s healthcare system often focuses on managing diseases and symptoms rather than promoting overall health. Personalized, whole person care is crucial for delivering value-based care, reducing healthcare costs, and achieving lasting health outcomes.
– Chronic Disease Prevalence: 129 million Americans have at least one major chronic disease.
– Healthcare Spending: 90% of the $4.1 trillion annual expenditure goes toward managing chronic conditions.
Whole person care, which relies on strong collaboration between providers and patients, is key to improving global health and the future of healthcare. However, physician shortages and burnout, affecting nearly 50% of providers, pose significant challenges. Reducing administrative burdens is necessary for empowering physicians to provide better patient care.
A recent study highlights the benefits of provider-patient engagement:
– Engagement: Patients using Fullscript with their providers saw a 73% increase in clinic visits.
– Health Improvements: These patients also experienced a 22-45% improvement in lab results.
New care models and technology can enhance this potential while reducing administrative burdens. Fullscript’s study shows:
– Time Savings: 74% of new users saved time each week using Fullscript.
– Workflow Efficiency: 77% of new users reported improved efficiency.
– Hours Saved: 42% of new users saved at least 1-3 hours per week.
By leveraging all-in-one clinical tools, providers can deliver effective whole person care, resulting in better health outcomes and increased efficiency.
“The clinical results and improvements we have seen in patients who are leveraging the Fullscript platform via their provider is significant, and demonstrates that a whole person care approach drives better outcomes and a better patient experience,” said Cheng Ruan, MD, founder, Texas Center for Lifestyle Medicine. “Lab markers for triglycerides, iron, folate, vitamin B12, and zinc showed clinically meaningful changes of up to 45% within the reference range. It’s impressive to see these types of improvements and outcomes, even with consistent patient engagement.”
