App helps patients share personal, health information with care providers

PatientWisdom inSIGHT summary

Yale New Haven Health has launched PatientWisdom, a digital platform that makes it easy for patients to share information about themselves, their health and their care that could support treatment and improve the patient experience.

PatientWisdom questions address what is most important to patients, how they feel about their health, who helps with their healthcare decisions, what barriers they face in staying healthy and other topics. Patients can access and complete PatientWisdom via MyChart (under Health, PatientWisdom) or the secure YNHHS PatientWisdom web page, ynhhs.patientwisdom.com.

PatientWisdom then creates an easy-to-read inSIGHT summary that can be viewed in Epic via the Sidebar report. Care team members can view this summary before entering the exam room or hospital room to meet with their patient.
