The impact of patient engagement on patient safety in care transitions after cancer treatment: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transitions of care after cancer treatment pose a major challenge for patient safety as adverse events and unplanned healthcare utilization occur frequently. At this point, patient and family engagement (PFE) is particularly valuable since patients and their families experience various challenges along this pathway, such as changing roles and recurrent needs to navigate across structural gaps between different services. However, there is currently a lack of evidence on the impact of PFE on patient safety in transitions after cancer treatment.

Objective

To systematically review and synthesize evidence on effects of different PFE interventions on patient safety in the transition of care after cancer treatment.

Methods

This protocol for a systematic review wit
