Challenges and promising solutions to engaging patients in healthcare implementation in the United States: an environmental scan.

ABSTRACT:

Background

One practice in healthcare implementation is patient engagement in quality improvement and systems redesign. Implementers in healthcare systems include clinical leadership, middle managers, quality improvement personnel, and others facilitating changes or adoption of new interventions. Patients provide input into different aspects of health research. However, there is little attention to involve patients in implementing interventions, especially in the United States (U.S.), and this might be essential to reduce inequities. Implementers need clear strategies to overcome challenges, and might be able to learn from countries outside the U.S.

Methods

We wanted to understand existing work about how patients are being included in implementation activities in real world
