## The least-used patient engagement tools with most potential: 38K hospitals weigh in 

---

Efforts to empower patients via digital tools accelerated amid the pandemic, as leaders worked to increase access to care. New data from more than 38,800 hospitals and health systems worldwide suggests these strategies are working — though there is still room for improvement.

CHIME's 2022 Digital Health Most Wired survey assessed healthcare organization's digital health capabilities and usage across eight key categories, including patient engagement. This report offers a summary of the survey's patient engagement key findings, including a look at how organizations have improved patient engagement and what the intersection of patient empowerment and digital health will look like in the future.

**In this report, you'll learn:**

 

- Which tools the majority of systems now have and consider table stakes
- Which tools are most underutilized by systems
- How to maximize staff and patient engagement
