We hear inspiring things about patient engagement. The very concept has a hearty, spirited, “do-right” sound to it.
- Engaged patients should believe the treatment they are getting is right.
- They should feel a strong commitment and trust in the doctor(s) and treatment centers where they receive care.
- They should believe that what they are doing is meaningful.
- And they should be willing to do whatever it takes to get better or survive.
