What characterizes passive involvement in the context of patient engagement?

Patients actively manage their treatment outcomes
Input is gathered primarily through surveys
Patients take charge of their healthcare decisions
Feedback is gathered through verbal discussions

The correct answer is: Input is gathered primarily through surveys

Passive involvement in patient engagement is characterized by limited active participation in the decision-making process regarding their healthcare. When input is gathered primarily through surveys, patients are not initiating discussions or actively seeking to influence their treatment; instead, they respond to prompts that professionals provide. This form of engagement typically means patients are not being proactive in managing their health or making informed choices. In contrast, actively managing treatment outcomes or taking charge of healthcare decisions indicates a more engaged and assertive role for patients. Feedback through verbal discussions involves a two-way communication channel where patients and providers interact directly, suggesting a more active form of engagement as opposed to the passive nature of surveys. These distinctions help clarify the level of involvement patients have in their healthcare processes.
