Abstract
Actively engaging members in managing their own healthcare, improving their health, and reducing healthcare costs to the payer involves providing a unified interface for member engagement. The interface may be communicatively coupled with a healthcare system, may be personalized to the member, and may offer multiple possible rewards to the member to encourage member behavior to effectively reduce healthcare costs and improve the quality of healthcare plans. The interface may provide the member with a pathway guiding the member to engage in activities to achieve short-term, intermediate and long-term goals for which actions are presented. Goals or actions may be predefined and may additionally be selected by the member. When member-engagement in the actions is verified, rewards may be granted to the member's account. In connection with such member engagement, the healthcare system collects member information, applies rules to that information, and generates alerts from those rules.
