centers, with 80+ peer reviewed published studies thus far
 Measures an individual’s knowledge, skills and confidence for managing
their health and healthcare

on and a numeric score (0 – 100). Most individuals score between 30 and
80. 10 to 12 points separate activation levels
 Provides insight into an wide array of health-related attitudes and

Start to develop an understanding of the specific benefits of physical activity,
Step: Keep track of the types and amounts of activity he/she gets in a

PAM as a Key Vital Sign
Activation requires supporting individuals where they are and moving away
from a uniform approach that pushes guideline behaviors for all
The lower activated (levels 1 & 2) are poor self-managers and account for
75%+ of healthcare costs
The low activated (levels 1 & 2) have accounted for 80% to 100% of readmits
in care transition programs
Coaching support tailored to levels consistently demonstrates the ability to
improve patient self-management and reduce healthcare costs
Tailoring to activation levels helps to align resource to were the need is
greatest
