This article focuses on applying the patient empowerment, engagement, and activation (PEEA) model as an implementation strategy to achieve patient- or person-centered care. There is substantial evidence linking PEEA to improved patient care outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. Interrelationships among the 3 concepts are discussed and how the PEEA survey can be used to evaluate patients' activation for self-care postdischarge and their perceptions of nurses' empowering and engaging them during the care encounter.
