Patient Decision-Making and Patient Empowerment with Prof. Philippe Gevaert

💡 How do you involve patients in decision-making?
Various treatment options and scenarios are presented to the #patient. It is important to listen to the patient, identify key symptoms, and collaboratively plan the next steps with the patient. Empowering patients with knowledge and readiness about their condition is crucial, ensuring they are well-informed beyond doctor consultations.

🗣 How do you foster patient empowerment?
Patients play a crucial role in their treatment by being accountable for understanding all the steps, and procedures, preventing infections, and managing any additional symptoms if they occur. They are essential individuals in the treatment process. Each patient is unique, and comprehending a disease requires more than one consultation with their doctor.
