  1. How Clinicians Can Use Patient-Generated Health Data to Improve Care Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD) is an advandement in healthcare sectore. From developing mobile applications to manufacturing intelligent wearable devices, consumer health technologies, it is allowing patients the freedom to collect health-related data outside the clinical setting.

  2. Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD)? It is a "health-related data created, recorded, or gathered by or from patients (or family members or other caregivers) to help address a health concern." 01 • PGHD can consist of, but is not limited to: • Health history • Treatment history • Biometric data • Symptoms • Lifestyle choices PGHD includes patient-reported information collected through surveys and data produced by remote monitoring devices, mobile health applications, and wearable devices. 02

  3. Integrating PGHD into an EHR  PGHD is when integrated into an Electronic Health Record (EHR), clinicians can use it to make more informed clinical decisions regarding patient care. It can be manually by entering it into their EHR or directly upload PGHD data using patient portals.

  4. Increase Patient Engagement and Satisfaction: Using PGHD to inform medical care decisions allows patients to take a more active role in their health leading to better health outcomes and increased patient satisfaction. Improved and Quicker Decision-making: It is used to make more informed and quicker decisions, visualizing trends, and spotting irregularities earlier. Reduce Costs: It has the potential to avoid unnecessary routine tests and office visits, ultimately reducing the cost of care. Improved Outcomes: It can assist clinicians in making a more informed health plan that could save the patient from future threats and sudden criticalities. The Benefits of Using PGHD Improve Population Health Management: When collected and analyzed correctly, it can be used to develop interventions and programs to improve the health of a population. Drive Research: Analysing huge data, researchers can identify patterns and trends that can be used to develop new treatments and therapies.

  5. The Challenges of Using PGHD • Lack of interoperability and data standards • Privacy and security are another concern of patients.

  6. Where Do We Go From Here? With improved communication, more complete data, earlier intervention, improved self-management, and increased patient engagement, the use of PGHD in outpatient clinics may have the potential to enhance care for those who are disproportionately impacted by chronic illness and for those with higher social risk factors such as low income, food insecurity, and housing instability.
