Considering Preference‐Based Patient Participation—Scientific and Clinical Outcome Measures With the Patient Preferences for Patient Participation Tool

The 4Ps is a means for evaluating preference-based patient participation, though the matching of ordinal measures for preferences and experiences requires a careful and well-informed approach to planning and executing data collection and statistical analyses. As an outcome measure of interventions to facilitate more person-centred healthcare, researchers and clinicians should recognise theoretical and conceptual conditions. This enhances a recognition of patients' voice and choice; patients and staff can agree on how best to make use of resources and needs, improving health and healthcare engagement.
