“The ‘secret’ to
patient/family/caregiver engagement may differ from community to
community, culture to culture, and family to family. That’s why it’s
important to start a conversation with the people who matter most --
your patients and their families. This can be as informal, yet
intentional, as asking how confident they are in their ability to
control and manage the patient’s health problems. Alternatively,
engagement can be as formal as starting a patient and family advisory
council. An advisory council fosters goal-oriented communication with
patients and their families, and can shed light on some of the blind
spots in a practice’s day-to-day operations. Whether you go about family
engagement formally or informally, know that it’s worth the effort.
Boosting patient/family/caregiver engagement is a surefire way to ensure
your patient has better health outcomes, and more coordinated and
purposeful inter-actions with the health care system.”
- John Meigs, Jr., MD, President-elect, American Academy of Family
Physicians.
