Measuring & Increasing Health Activation

Engaging people in their health is widely recognized as critical to improved care, better health and more efficient use of healthcare resources. Understanding a person’s self-management ability, as revealed by the Patient Activation Measure® assessment, is crucial to providing support that can make a real difference and  engage individuals in their health. Support tailored to a level of activation understands what an individual is capable of taking to be successful and to take steps toward better health. Insignia’s Coaching for Activation®  model and consumer eHealth program — Flourish , are improving care, enabling better health, and driving cost savings.

ACTIVATION STARTS WITH RIGOROUS MEASUREMENT
