• Strategies to improve patient involvement in CQI process to improve this outcome/measurement. Apply the M-APR model as a diagnostic model of patient involvement to the aforementioned situation, and discuss strategies to improve how the patients, families, and caregivers can be involved.

These dimensions indicate that patient, family, or public involvement can be achieved through various mechanisms.)
