Patient empowerment initiatives
Patient empowerment initiatives focus on giving individuals the knowledge, skills, and confidence to actively participate in their healthcare decisions. This includes providing clear information about conditions and treatment options, encouraging questions, and supporting self-management of health. The goal is to help patients understand their health, make informed choices, and collaborate with healthcare providers, leading to better health outcomes and increased satisfaction. These initiatives recognize patients as important partners in their care, promoting autonomy and ensuring their preferences and values are respected throughout the treatment process.
