Patient and family centered care
• A partnership among practitioners, patients,
and their families (when appropriate) to
ensure that decisions respect patients’ wants,
needs, and preferences and that patients have
the education and support they need to make
decisions and participate in their own care

Patient Activation
• Patient activation—an “individual’s”
knowledge, skill, and confidence for managing
his/her own health and health care

Importance of Activation
• If people don’t understand their role, they
aren‘t going to take action, they aren’t going
to look for or take in new information
• If people don’t feel confident, they are less
likely to be pro-active
• This appears to be true regardless of condition

Value of Activation
Research consistently finds that those who are
more activated are:
– Engaged in more preventive behaviors
– Engaged in more healthy behaviors
– Engaged in more disease specific selfmanagement behaviors
– Engaged in more health information seeking
behaviors

Value of Knowing Activation Level
 To know who needs more support
 To target the types of support and information
patients and consumers need
 To evaluate efforts to increase activation
 To evaluate the quality of care
 To build the evidence base

New Insights
• Can identify “next steps” more appropriately
• Presently asking too much of too many
• When we focus on the more complex and
difficult behaviors– we discourage the least
activated
• Start with patient’s values—minimize number
of requests

14
Increasing Activation
• Tailored coaching
• Including brief coaching in the clinical
setting– with follow-up
• Segmentation approaches and differential
allocation of resources
• Care transitions and reducing hospital readmissions

15
Patient and family engagement
• Patients, families, their representatives, and
health professionals working in active
partnership at various levels across the health
care system—direct care, organizational
design and governance, and policy making—to
improve health and health care.1
