title: Health coaching.
abstract: Improving quality and outcomes requires hospitals to engage patients so they understand their conditions and medications and can self-manage their care. Hospitals engage patients by educating them before and during discharge, actively following up after they go home, by using new technology, and a variety of other ways.
