Click here for Melanie Matthews's profile.
“With as much as 85 percent of healthcare costs linked to lifestyle choices, the Patient Activation Measure is another tool that healthcare organizations can use to determine a patient's — and population's — readiness to adopt healthier behaviors, develop customized health improvement programs and begin to reduce the costs of caring for these individuals."
