A model for optimising patient engagement in the treatable traits model of care. To enhance patient engagement to this approach, we have developed a model of what we think is needed to address many patient-related barriers to adherence: effective communication of treatable traits using terminology patients understand, understanding and addressing patients’ treatable traits health literacy, and using shared decision-making to accommodate patients’ goals and priorities.
