This concept encompasses 3 components including attributes, antecedence and consequences which are then represented by personalisation, access, commitment and therapeutic alliances.

Internal reliability score was calculated from data collected and a retest was done. Conclusions: The step-by-step method will aid in developing and implementing a successful patient engagement model to improve population health.
