Patient Empowerment (PE) can be considered as an active and self-determining role of patient than a passive recipient of health related services. It encourages the provider-patient relationship to blossom and helps in clearing patients' doubts, confusion and fears to bring in clarity, relief and assurance. For the active involvement of the patient's in own health management they need to be awakened, motivated, educated and enlightened to enable them to exercise their rights. Active patient involvement in the decision-making achieves favourable health outcome. In an empowerment based approach, the focus is not on defining a particular type of behaviour, but on how the behaviour is defined as a goal to be achieved by a particular individual. As a result of their empowerment process, the patients can better self-manage their illness and their lives. Thus empowerment of the patients will positively help medical uprising of the community by creating an educated, health aware, informed and health conscious mass.
患者赋权（PE）可被视为患者发挥积极主动和自我决定作用，而非仅仅被动接受与健康相关的服务。它促使医患关系蓬勃发展，有助于消除患者的疑虑、困惑和恐惧，带来清晰、宽慰和安心。为了让患者积极参与自身健康管理，需要唤醒、激励、教育并启发他们，使他们能够行使自己的权利。患者积极参与决策可实现良好的健康结果。在基于赋权的方法中，重点不在于定义特定类型的行为，而在于行为如何被定义为特定个体要实现的目标。通过赋权过程，患者能够更好地自我管理疾病和生活。因此，患者赋权将通过培养有知识、有健康意识、信息灵通且注重健康的人群，对社区的医疗发展起到积极促进作用。
