Overview

"Winner of the 2021 PROSE Award for CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY and PSYCHIATRY  Against a global backdrop of problematic adherence to medical treatment, this volume addresses and provides practical solutions to the simple question: ""Why don't patients take treatments that could save their lives?"" The Wiley handbook of Healthcare Treatment Engagement offers a guide to the theory, research and clinical practice of promoting patient engagement in healthcare treatment at individual, organizational and systems levels. The concept of treatment engagement, as explained within the text, promotes a broader view than the related concept of treatment adherence. Treatment engagement encompasses more readily the lifestyle factors which may impact healthcare outcomes as much as medication-taking, as well as practical, economic and cultural factors which may determine access to treatment. Over a span of 32 chapters, an international panel of expert authors address this far-reaching and fascinating field, describing a broad range of evidence-based approaches which stand to improve clinical services and treatment outcomes, as well as the experience of users of healthcare service and practitioners alike. This comprehensive volume adopts an interdisciplinary approach to offer an understanding of the factors governing our healthcare systems and the motivations and behaviors of patients, clinicians and organizations. Presented in a user-friendly format for quick reference, the text first supports the reader’s understanding by exploring background topics such as the considerable impact of sub-optimal treatment adherence on healthcare outcomes, before describing practical clinical approaches to promote engagement in treatment, including chapters referring to specific patient populations. The text recognizes the support which may be required throughout the depth of each healthcare organization to promote patient engagement, and in the final section of the book, describes approaches to inform the development of healthcare services with which patients will be more likely to seek to engage. This important book: Provides a comprehensive summary of practical approaches developed across a wide range of clinical settings, integrating research findings and clinical literature from a variety of disciplines Introduces and compliments existing approaches to improve communication in healthcare settings and promote patient choice in planning treatment Presents a range of proven clinical solutions that will appeal to those seeking to improve outcomes on a budget Written for health professionals from all disciplines of clinical practice, as well as service planners and policy makers, The Wiley Handbook of Healthcare Treatment Engagement is a comprehensive guide for individual practitioners and organizations alike. 2021 PROSE Biological and Life Sciences Category for Clinical Psychology & Psychiatry"

Adherence to long-term therapies is perhaps one of the most important issues that deserves the attention of all stakeholders in the health care field, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, all health care providers, but also the pharmaceutical industry, health authorities and payers. Everyone agrees that patient adherence, especially for those with chronic diseases, is far from optimal, with catastrophic consequences for the effectiveness of care, which has made more progress in the last 50 years than in the 50 centuries before. The originality of this book relies on the fact that it approaches the problem of adherence in a holistic way, going beyond the term adherence, which was itself already an advance over that of compliance. It proposes replacing it with a more general term, that of engagement. This concept reinforces the involvement of the patient, becoming a true agent in the management of his or her disease. In particular, it is necessary to distinguish between the different phases of this engagement, at the time of treatment initiation, implementation and, last but not least, persistence. This book will be of interest to all care providers. Its ambition is to clarify through theoretical models the mechanisms of patient engagement in treatment, so that practical approaches can be identified to improve it, giving both general indications and specific applications to different groups of patients. An entire section of the book is devoted to care in different contexts: adolescence, the elderly, vulnerable people, the effect of social deprivation cognitive deficits and mental illness. At a time when digital technology and artificial intelligence are transforming the practice of medicine, this book shows their promises and limitations with remarkable intelligence (Chapter 30). Inevitably, the new demands of patients to become agents of their treatment require the development of the concept of shared medical decision making and Chapter 28 devoted to it is especially brilliant. It is this sharing which really defines the concept of engagement, which makes it inseparable from patient education, which truly finds its full meaning in engagement. It is through this process that trust is generated, which is the condition for real patient engagement. It requires that care providers become aware of the human nature of patients, combining the greatness of complex thought with the presence of cognitive and emotional bias. This book therefore sets out the conditions for the real implementation of a person-centered medicine. - Professor Gerard Reach, Professor of Edocrinology and Metabolism, Paris 13 University & Head of the Endocrine Department, Avicenne Hospital, Bobigny, France
