Dr. Jennifer Power and Dr. Graham Brown discuss how online engagement for people living with HIV (PLHIV) is one way to ensure better healthcare outcomes.
Dr David Lee Scher discusses how the patient is a consumer (defined as a purchaser of goods and services for personal use) in the healthcare arena and how viewing a patient as a consumer is transforming healthcare.
Patient and public engagement is where patients, relatives, carers and the public are actively involved in various aspects of the design, delivery and assessment of health services. It is also often referred to as consumer and community engagement.
Four authors from the Sydney School of Public Health and Cancer Council NSW published a detailed study on the lessons the public health sector could draw from nine social media campaigns by the corporate and the social change sector.
The health sector is at the very beginning of experimenting with community engagement. In many respects, it’s at the start of a journey that local government has been on for many years.
