Patient participation

Patient participation means actively engaging in your healthcare by sharing your symptoms, concerns, and preferences with your healthcare providers. It involves asking questions, understanding your treatment options, and making informed decisions about your care. This partnership helps ensure that your treatment aligns with your values and needs, leading to better health outcomes. Being involved also includes following agreed-upon treatment plans, monitoring your health, and communicating openly with your healthcare team. Essentially, patient participation is about working collaboratively with your providers to achieve the best possible health results.
