Abstract

Through seven different health systems and the experience of EURORDIS, we were able to highlight that patient engagement is a movement which is increasingly embedded in the DNA of health systems at clinical, organizational or strategic levels. Viewed by some as a fad, this social innovation is likely to continue and lead us to completely rethink the way our health systems operate.

Indeed, by reading these different case stories, we saw that each country has taken advantage of particular windows of opportunity, anchored in health systems with specific values, social norms, laws and regulations, leading to different and original ways of conceiving patient integration. This has also led to occasional differences in vocabulary.
