Patient engagement is a fundamental element of evidence-based healthcare, involving active collaboration between patients and healthcare providers to make informed decisions about their care. In this model, evidence-based practices extend beyond the clinic, empowering patients with the best available information and involving them as partners in their healthcare journey.
Patient engagement encompasses shared decision-making, open communication, and the integration of patient preferences into care plans. By fostering a collaborative relationship, healthcare providers leverage evidence to educate patients about treatment options, risks, and benefits, aligning care with individual needs.
This approach envisions a healthcare landscape where patients are not passive recipients but informed participants, contributing to better adherence, improved health outcomes, and a more patient-centered healthcare system. Patient engagement, grounded in evidence, transforms healthcare from a one-size-fits-all model into a personalized and collaborative experience.
