A recent BMJ article published on April 1, 2010 promotes a new online tool, where doctors will be able to discover the lessons learnt from global research into areas including patient experience, health literacy, shared decisions to choose appropriate treatment, self management, health promotion, and public engagement. It gives a comprehensive review of the best worldwide evidence, of what works to engage patients and the public in healthcare.Although it is an English site, it gives information on delivering higher quality and more efficient care and treatment, which:
* empowers patients with greater knowledge
* gives patients a better experience
* makes the best use of healthcare resources, and
* contributes to improved health behaviours and better health.
The tool can be seen here.
