patient and family engagement

Patient and family engagement refers to actively involving patients and their families in healthcare decisions and processes. This approach values their insights and experiences, encouraging open communication between healthcare providers and the patient. By participating in treatment choices, sharing health information, and providing feedback, patients and families can help improve care quality and outcomes. Engaging with healthcare teams fosters a collaborative environment, leading to better experiences and health results. Ultimately, it empowers patients and families to take an active role in their own health journey.
