Patient engagement refers to the active involvement of patients in their healthcare journey, where they become active participants in decision-making and treatment plans. Engaged patients are more likely to adhere to treatment regimens, follow healthcare advice, and make informed decisions about their health. Patient engagement fosters a collaborative relationship between patients and healthcare providers, leading to better communication, improved health outcomes, and increased patient satisfaction. Various tools and strategies, such as patient portals, telemedicine, and personalized health education, facilitate patient engagement. By focusing on patient engagement, healthcare organizations can create a patient-centered care approach, enhance health literacy, and ultimately improve the overall quality of healthcare delivery.
