    Summary

    Healthcare providers can expand patient advocacy beyond standard care. This involves enhancing outcomes, taking extra measures, and personal sacrifice for improved patient well-being.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Ethics
    • Patient Advocacy
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Traditional patient advocacy by healthcare providers is often limited in scope.
    • There is a need for a more comprehensive approach to patient and family support.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and illustrate expanded roles for healthcare providers in patient advocacy.
    • To introduce practical, aspirational interventions for enhanced patient support.

    Main Methods:

    • Case studies illustrating expanded advocacy interventions.
    • Categorization of proposed advocacy strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Identified three categories for expanded provider advocacy: improving outcomes post-standard treatment failure, implementing non-customary beneficial measures, and greater provider self-sacrifice.
