In 2004, researchers from the University of Oregon developed a scale called the Patient Activation Measure (PAM) to determine how likely patients were to know about and to confidently take a role in their own care. Since then, research has suggested that “activated” patients are less likely to have an ER visit, be obese or smoke, among other health measures, and more likely to save providers money.
