In this book, you’ll learn the definitions behind the 4-point process of PATIENT ACTIVATION. It will also share how 83bar clients (as well as other leading health care organizations) successfully use the model in a wide range of different initiatives. Along the way, you will gain specific techniques for applying the PATIENT ACTIVATION in your own efforts. The concept of patient activation has gained credence among clinicians, academics and think-tanks worldwide. So, it is a widely accepted phrase that is certainly not owned by any one company. However, 83bar recognized that the term may be only conceptual without a framework for implementation and replication. That’s why the idea of activating patients needed to move beyond simply helping people overcome inaction or lack of resources. In this book, PATIENT ACTIVATION will refer to a fully integrated system to move from awareness to action. It includes a step-wise process supported by a set of customized software and proprietary tools. This system and four-point model was designed to standardize and automate most of the key functions involved. Of course, the authors are very proud of what has been created and enhanced over many years of development. But it’s not their intention to simply sell an offering. Rather, it is to reveal the principles and philosophies that are the foundation of the approach. In this way, you can learn the approach and find ways to implement it in your own situation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read on how to understand and navigate our healthcare system in 4 Steps

Navigating the world of healthcare can be a challenging ordeal. It’s all too common that people end up stuck, confused, and demoralized… with no idea where to start. “Patient Activation: 4 Steps Proven to Move Mental Health Care Consumers From Awareness to Activation” demystifies the whole process by breaking it down into four simple sections - 1)Locate 2) Educate 3) Navigate 4) Advocate. This revolutionary approach empowers readers to transition from passive observers to active participants in their own care. As an advocate on affordable healthcare I cannot emphasize enough how this transformation is nothing short of crucial if positive outcomes are to be accomplished. More than a hopeful guide, this book is a practical playbook for both patients seeking that change and providers looking to facilitate it. It as an indispensable stepping stone, a lifeline with which to navigate the needlessly overwhelming ordeal of managing both physical and mental healthcare.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Road Map from Awareness to Activation!
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019

Patient Activation: 4 Steps Proven to Move Health Care Consumers From Awareness to Activation is a must read for anyone needing medical attention, or providing medical attention—which is pretty much all of us. Authors Baurys and Stinson successfully leave the reader feeling hopeful navigating through the health care system with experts guiding the journey every step of the way. As a health care provider in mental health, I found this fully integrated system taking the reader from awareness to action to be most beneficial. There is nothing more important than our mental and physical health—and this book provides a road map to transition people from being passive patients to active consumers of health care as they enter into the health care system as the process encompasses four parts: Locate, Educate, Navigate and Advocate. A must read for all!

I am a firm believer in diligently researching and understanding as much as possible regarding our health and wellness. Mark Stinson's book, Patient Activation, clearly exposes the huge divide between the health care system and physicians and the suffering patient caught somewhere on the fringe, and still suffering with unexplained or unsolved issues. My sister suffered for years with leaky gut and her doctor was indignant that she could possibly believe such "rubbish." She finally found a wonderful holistic doctor who understood her condition and set up a protocol to help her heal. Mark's "Patient Activation" points out the value of the doctor and patient working closely together as a team to bring healing and recover. I highly recommend this book.

This book is an eye-opener and makes the case for an overall change in our health-delivery system. It makes the case how 83bar is a model that is highly effective for the patient, physicians, and other healthcare providers. Their four-part system is like providing a concierge service to the patient without being concierge. Why? Because it is personalized, prepares and follows the patient throughout their journey. I also like the fact they can determine the personality types so they can best attend to them around decision making. I recommend this important read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thoughful and clearly laid out guide to a more humane and effective way to deliver health care.
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2019
The problems with our health care system are well known. We are often bounced around from provider to provider in a haphazard and inefficient manner with little input and limited knowledge of the patient. Providers often have very little time to discuss treatment options with patients in a manner that allows them to understand and make effective choices. If we google for information we are confronted with a vast amount of information of dubious value and have little idea of what we are getting.
Patient Activation shows us a better way. The authors lay out a system whereby those seeking health care services are provided with structured person to person relationship with nurses and health care coordinators. This coordinator explains the treatment options and is able to more efficiently make the contacts within the health care system that the patients need. In this way the patient becomes activated and highly involved in their own treatment. It is a way to make personal connections within a highly technically complex system. In this system high touch is driven and enabled by high tech.
