See on Scoop.it – Health Care Social Media Monitor
A recent article from Patient Safety & Quality Healthcare highlights a national effort by the Nursing Alliance for Quality Care (NAQC) to increase patient engagement strategy among nurses.
Marie Ennis-O’Connor‘s insight:

Therefore, NAQC has released a paper entitled Fostering Successful Patient and Family Engagement: Nursing’s Critical Role, which lists six suggested ways the nursing field can prepare to more effectively influence engagement.
