Introduction: The healthcare industry is transforming due to the growing emphasis on patient-oriented care and better results. One critical element for accomplishing these goals is patient empowerment, that is, the active participation of the individual in their health journey. This abstract outlines the identified strategies from a paper related to improving patients' engagement in their own healthcare.
Methods: We carried out a systematic literature review focused on identifying strategies to improve patient engagement. Studies published between 2010 and 2020 considered interventions focusing on patient engagement in the management aspect of healthcare. We selected and reviewed 20 articles to identify key themes and strategies.
Results: Our study identified four strategies healthcare practitioners used to develop patient self-management strategies. Such strategies may involve enhancing communication and information-sharing mechanisms, promoting education and empowerment of the patient and family, utilizing technology and digital tools, and nurturing collaboration between patients and healthcare providers. Game example strategies were used to identify and code each type.
Conclusions: onclusively, these are the ways by which healthcare organizations can enhance patient engagement and drive better patient outcomes. However, such strategies need to be implemented in a focused and patient-centered manner based on the variety of patients' needs and preferences. Future research should assess the effectiveness of these mechanisms and identify other strategies for engaging patients in managing their healthcare.
