“CS Lewis said, isn’t it funny how day to day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different,” laughed Gordon Jones, PhD, in referring to change, “except for the healthcare. We would still be on pen and paper if it wasn’t for the legislative change.” This is the climate that Dr. Jones and LifeLog Health are trying to change. In this episode of the Patient Activation Network podcast, Dr. Jones discusses this along with wearable technology in relation to outcomes and the plan of care, MACRA and other scenarios that patient generated health data can help solve.
