NYAPRS Note: Controlling costs and achieving health care quality improvements requires the participation of activated and informed consumers. Join us as national educator and researcher, Dr. Judith Hibbard presents a process in which she was the lead designer, for conceptualizing and operationalizing what it means to be “activated” and delineates the process used to develop the measure for assessing activation. Activation is the key to successful outreach and engagement and essential to increasing access to services. Come join us as we take a “deeper dive” into activation and what it means for the new service system.
