5 Patient Engagement involves patients taking an active part in their own health care. is a shared responsibility between patients (and their families), healthcare practitioners and healthcare administrators. is the patient being an active part of the decision making process to define their individualized treatment plan. is not about patients adhering to or complying with the treatment plan. What patients tell us about Patient Engagement When you, the patient, are involved with your care and care team and/or care partners Sean N. Shared decision making is important for patients to participate in care Patients and family to be fully informed of their disease, treatment options, and why their input in their healthcare is so vitally important to their care, mental well-being, and interaction with others. ArdyB. Friends and family are involved To make an obligation or promise to someone to do something or be committed to a certain task. Barbara B. Patient leads own care Patient engagement can t happen without being twosided. Professionals often present information as I know better than you Any patient that involves themselves in their care. By asking questions, making sure they understand as much as possible what s going on with their medical care. Judy R. 5

6 Patient Engagement Defined Patient activation refers to a patient s knowledge, skills, ability, and willingness to manage his or her own health and care. Patient engagement is a broader concept that combines patient activation with interventions designed to increase activation and promote positive patient behavior. "Health Policy Brief: Patient Engagement," HEALTH AFFAIRS, February 14, Key Engagement Behaviors communicate with health care professionals make good treatment decisions (gather information and ask questions about various treatment options) participate in treatment and seek health knowledge 6

7 LEVELS OF PATIENT ENGAGEMENT Three Levels of Patient Engagement Laws and Policy Organization Design and Governance Health Policy Brief: Patient Engagement, Health Affairs, February 14,

8 Patients get information and answer questions about their preferences to help inform their treatment decisions. Shared-Decision Making Shared decision making is a collaborative process that allows patients and their providers to make health care decisions together, taking into account the best scientific evidence available, as well as the patient s values and preferences. What is Shared Decision Making? Informed Medical Decisions Foundation, Web. 14 March

9 Shared Decision Making Honors both the provider s expert knowledge and the patient s right to be fully informed about all care options and the potential harms and benefits. Shared Decision Making is designed to increase: Patient knowledge Patient involvement in decision-making Consistency between decisions and patient values Communicating Information According to the North Carolina Project on Health Literacy: 40-80% of the medical information patients receive is forgotten immediately Nearly half of the information retained is incorrect Close the gap by using the teach-back method, also known as the show-me method or closing the loop. 9

10 Teach Back Teach-back is a way to confirm that you have explained to the patient what they need to know in a manner that the patient understands. Patient understanding is confirmed when they explain it back to you. It can also help the clinic staff members identify explanations and communication strategies that are most commonly understood by patients.
