๐ŸŽ‰ Just Published! Dive into the latest research on patient engagement in care coordination programs! ๐Ÿ“˜

The study โ€œPredictors of Patient Engagement in a Care Coordination Programโ€ was recently published in Patient Preference and Adherence, exploring what drives individuals with work-limiting conditions to actively engage in care support services.
