“Patient engagement equals data, but data does not equal EMR. Data equals all of your support systems, all of your policies, all of your efforts to engage your patient, whether it’s coming from social media, from different solutions, whether it’s coming from a Kingsman of your organization … it’s way wider than linking it to a standard workflow within your EMR.” – Dr. Bashar Balish.
