What is patient engagement system?
Patient engagement involves encouraging patients to make informed decisions about their own health. Engaged patients are also known as “activated patients,” meaning they engage in positive behavior like managing their own health and care. This helps improve health outcomes and achieve lower costs.
Increased knowledge and understanding encourages patients to become actively engaged in their own health, well-being, and healthcare choices, leading to improved care and fewer ER visits. In addition to improving care, patient engagement also has financial benefits as it reduces no-shows, aids in increasing revenue, and maintains your patient base. By collaborating and engaging with patients in the decision-making process, healthcare providers can make better decisions regarding a patient’s health, improving the patient-provider relationship, and overall patient retention. Physicians are better able to treat patients in the most effective way possible, ultimately becoming more time and cost efficient. “WebMD Ignite”
Scientific Facts
The oceans produce the majority of the oxygen on Earth.
According to the National Oceanic Service, we can thank plant-based marine organisms for all that fresh air. More than half of the world’s oxygen is produced by plankton, seaweed, and other photosynthesizers.
All of earth’s oxygen does not come from trees. Rather, the atmospheric oxygen that we depend on as humans comes predominantly from the ocean. According to National Geographic, about 70% of the oxygen in the atmosphere comes from marine plants and plant-like organisms. “National Ocean Services”
History of Science
Microscopes
Every major field of science has benefited from the use of some form of microscope, an invention that dates back to the late 16th century (1950s) and a modest Dutch eyeglass maker named Zacharias Janssen. While extremely rough in image quality and magnification compared to modern versions, the Janssen microscope was nonetheless a seminal advance in scientific instrumentation.
Janssen was the son of a spectacle maker named Hans Janssen, in Middleburg, Holland, and while Zacharias is credited with inventing the compound microscope, most historians surmise that his father must have played a vital role, since Zacharias was still in his teens in the 1590s. At that time, eyeglasses were beginning to be used widely among the populace, focusing a great deal of attention on optics and lenses. In fact, some historians credit both the Janssens and a fellow Dutch eyeglass maker, Hans Lippershey, with concurrent, though independent, invention of the microscope.
