CTP Patient Engagement Strategies 5

Question 1

A telehealth provider is working with a patient who has schizophrenia and is reluctant to engage via video. What is the BEST approach?

Accepted Answer

Start with phone calls to build rapport and gradually introduce video as comfort grows

Answer

Starting with less intensive modalities and gradually introducing video respects the patient's comfort level while maintaining therapeutic continuity.

Question 2

Which of the following is a key principle of trauma-informed care as applied to telehealth patient engagement?

Accepted Answer

Prioritizing safety, transparency, and patient control over the encounter environment

Answer

Trauma-informed care ensures the patient feels safe, informed, and in control — critical elements in a remote environment where patients control their own space.

Question 3

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) improve engagement in telehealth PRIMARILY because they:

Accepted Answer

Give patients a structured way to communicate symptoms and track progress over time

Answer

PROs actively involve patients in monitoring their own health, increasing their sense of ownership and engagement in the care process.

Question 4

When a pediatric patient's parent dominates a telehealth session, preventing the child from speaking, the provider should FIRST:

Accepted Answer

Acknowledge the parent's input, then redirect with age-appropriate questions directly to the child

Answer

Redirecting to the child with developmentally appropriate questions validates both parties while ensuring the patient's own perspective is heard.

Question 5

A telehealth program measures 'engagement quality' rather than 'engagement quantity.' Which metric reflects this distinction BEST?

Accepted Answer

Degree to which patient-reported goals are incorporated into and achieved through the care plan

Answer

Quality engagement is demonstrated when the patient's own goals drive the care plan and outcomes, not just how often they interact with the platform.
