Quick note as I run to the airport –<\/p>\n

Last May we reported<\/a> on a study in process at Emory University about whether a “safety-net” (poor) population would engage with a personal health record. The preliminary results in that poster showed that what predicted patient performance was not <\/em>how poor they were, nor how bad their mental health condition was, nor how bad their chronic condition was – what predicted performance was how activated <\/em>the patient is – how engaged they are, as measured by the PAM Patient Activation Measure.<\/p>\n

Today, a new piece<\/a> by Pauline Chen in the New York Times “Well” blog reports a similar outcome at Fairview Health Services in the Twin Cities.<\/p>\n

At first blush this looks to be huge news for the participatory medicine movement. Check it out.<\/p>\n

(For more information on the PAM, see also our October post<\/a>, with an in-depth presentation about the PAM from its creator, Dr. Judith Hibbard of the University of Oregon. In a comment at bottom she added a long list of publications that link activation to outcomes.)<\/p>\n
