Encouraging Engagement Strategy Adoption

In addition to setting goals for the implementation and providing tools and resources, health care organizations can use specific strategies to encourage broad adoption of person-centered engagement structures across departments, service lines or sites. Many of these strategies build on the concepts found in the section titled Fostering Ongoing Culture Change, however, as one part of your organization successfully adopts person-centered engagement efforts it presents an opportunity to for those with experience to help encourage wider adoption.
