title: Technology Is Becoming Integral to the Success of Patient Engagement.
abstract: Health systems can adopt the most advanced information systems and employ a facility full of progressive providers, but many of their efforts may fail if patients are not engaged. Blending the outputs of electronic health records in every transition, sharing and exchanging health information, and populating personal health records are among the technologies that are increasingly being used to bring patients inside the process and participating in the circle of care.
