NHC Releases Glossary of Patient Engagement Terms
02/28/2019
This week, we published a glossary of terms related to patient engagement. The definitions of these terms, which includes Family Caregiver, Meaningful Engagement, and Patient-Focused Drug Development, stem largely from our patient engagement work, including our ‘Patient-Focused Drug Development – Recommended Language for Use in Guidance Document Development’ Paper with Genetic Alliance, as well as our Value Rubric, and Representativeness Rubric.
The glossary will help patients, patient advocates, and other health care stakeholders understand what common terms mean and ensure that everyone collaborating to make health care more patient-centric is speaking the same language.
