What is patient activation?
Patient activation is a measure of a person’s knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage their own health and wellbeing and is a core enabler for supporting self-management and personalising care.
Patient activation has been shown to cut costs and improve care outcomes. When patients effectively manage their own health, they are more likely to obtain overall wellness.
