Levels of Engagement

Steps within levels

The Humboldt CE model looks at the various levels in which patients can engage in their care, both at an individual and a systemic level. It also provides personal characteristics that are amenable to fulfilling these positions, presumably to aid in the choosing of patients for these roles. Finally, it touches on the support that patients will need to successfully complete their roles.

Levels of Engagement

Steps within levels

The Massachusetts CE model looks at both the levels and types of engagement. The model acts as a continuum and encompasses engagement at the personal, microsystem, organizational, and environmental levels.

Plan

Ask and Listen—a bidirectional relationship in which information is solicited and the public provides feedback to program leaders and policy makers. Persons and the public are invited to contribute their views and opinions

Do

Inform and Participate—a bidirectional relationship where policy makers make information available to the public and in turn, persons, and the public actively define the process and content of policies and initiatives.

Study

A necessary component of an engagement strategy is a plan to measure and evaluate its progress. Often there is a striking imbalance between the resources devoted to implementing an engagement campaign and the resources devoted to evaluating such activities

Act

A framework for engagement must include a mechanism for accountability and follow-through based upon the first three steps

Levels of Engagement

Steps within levels

The National eHealth Collaborative has created a model in which various levels of consumer engagement are defined. The model progresses from giving information to a full partnership between patient and caregiver. The supporting information that this model provides act as a guidebook to enabling that step.This includes information on the situations in which the engagement should take place, documentation needed for the engagement to take place, and tools to facilitate the engagement.
