TL;DR
This study provided foundational evidence for the use of a multiprofessional tool to measure engagement in clinical networks, and confirmed that inform, involve, and empower were all significant predictors of global engagement.
Abstract
This study provided foundational evidence for the use of this tool for assessing engagement in clinical networks. Further work is necessary to evaluate engagement in broader network functions and activities; to assess barriers and facilitators of engagement; and, to elucidate how the maturity of networks and other factors influence engagement.
