This section outlines the steps and tasks the project manager, clinical engagement lead, and specialty team lead will undertake to implement Patients Know Best (PKB) successfully. Whether they are rolling out PKB for the first time or as a subsequent team, they must follow the same process.
Once an understanding of PKB's key features, including secure messaging, the library, care plans, questionnaires/consultations, and sharing test results, is established, it will be necessary to commence mapping current pathways while designing new ones that incorporate PKB as the digital solution. Defining attainable goals and assessing the impact of utilising PKB are crucial components of this process.
