The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) is a well-tested measure that predicts health outcomes. PAM scores measure self-management behaviors and determine over 50% of their risk for illness and premature death. Some organizations have measured PAM scores before and after using PKB with patients and found that PKB improves PAM scores. This allows identifying a short-term improvement with long-term implications. PKB encourages all its customers to measure PAM scores for patients. |
