The Affordable Care Act is putting consumers at the center of healthcare’s transformation. Many call it the retailization of American healthcare. Health plans must connect with constituents, engage their audiences and build relationships. Creating a framework for engagement is a key to acquiring and retaining customers, optimizing relationships, and reducing inefficiencies. A customer engagement culture puts consumers at the center of everything an organization does, allowing it to deliver on the promise of individual relevance and value. Early adopters can differentiate themselves from competitors and anchor their brand value in the minds of healthcare consumers.
