Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 5 EBP 0614 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Ownership of Health
Captions available
The idea
Ownership of health is the state in which patients and families take responsibility for their own health, and it is a conceptual foundation for evidence-based decision making.
In practice
A patient managing a long-term condition rather than being managed for it.
Where people slip
Ownership is something a patient reaches, not something a clinician assigns.
