Quality patient care should focus on goals and outcomes. To truly improve care delivery, patient education is a must. Providers can provide patients with resources that give them easier access to relevant information about their health. Engaging patients as key members of the care team can drive better outcomes and enhance the patient experience—when patients feel informed and involved, they're far more likely to adhere to treatment plans. This benefits the entire healthcare system. #PatientCare #PatientExperience #Healthcare
