Patient Engagement

Patient engagement refers to the active involvement of patients in their own healthcare processes and decisions. It encompasses a range of activities and strategies aimed at empowering patients to take control of their health and participate meaningfully in their care. This may include understanding their medical conditions, treatment options, and healthcare system navigation, as well as communicating effectively with healthcare providers. Patient engagement is often facilitated through education, tools, and support that encourage patients to share their preferences, values, and goals regarding their health. Ultimately, the goal of patient engagement is to enhance health outcomes, improve patient satisfaction, and foster a collaborative relationship between patients and healthcare professionals.
