1. Improved Health Outcomes: Engaged patients are more likely to adhere to treatment plans, leading to better control of chronic conditions and overall health.
2. Reduced Healthcare Costs: Better adherence and fewer complications can reduce hospital readmissions and emergency room visits, leading to lower healthcare costs.
3. Enhanced Patient Satisfaction: Patients who are actively involved in their care tend to have higher satisfaction levels, which can improve the overall patient experience.
