Abstract

Patient and caregiver engagement is a core component of high-quality healthcare systems. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed to us the fragility of patient and family engagement that was not as firmly rooted in the health system as expected. In this paper, we reflect on case examples from healthcare organizations across Canada where pivots and adaptations were made to patient engagement activities. We share core enablers of engagement in times of high system stress, drawing on illustrative examples. We then synthesize key learnings in relation to existing literature and conclude with reflective questions as we orient the work of engagement into the future.
