Healthcare asks a great deal of patients. People are expected to prepare, communicate, organize health information, navigate care, understand what comes next, and follow through, often without ever being taught how.

Your contribution helps The Patient Better Project advance the research, measurement, education, and resources needed to make patient participation something people can understand, learn, and put into practice. Help us build a future where patients are better prepared to participate in their care.

Healthcare professionals can play an active role in advancing patient participation through small patient studies, clinical research, assessment and measurement, or practice-based implementation.

Join our research efforts, contribute your clinical perspective, or bring the Patient Participation Research Program into your practice to help us study how patient participation can be measured, strengthened, and applied in real-world care.
