Patient participation is crucial for several reasons:
Improved Health Outcomes: Active patient involvement often leads to better adherence to treatment plans and improved health metrics. Enhanced Patient Satisfaction: When patients feel heard and involved, their satisfaction with the care they receive increases. Informed Decision-Making: Patients who participate in their care are better informed about their conditions and treatment options. Empowerment: Encouraging patients to participate helps them feel more in control of their health and well-being.
