User involvement means that patients actively participate in decisions about their own treatment. In addition, patients, relatives, and other users of the healthcare system should have the opportunity to influence how healthcare services are designed and function.

This means that their experiences and needs are taken into account in decisions that affect both individual treatment and the development of the healthcare service.

This can happen through feedback, collaboration with healthcare professionals, or through participation in councils and committees. User involvement is important for ensuring that services are more equitable, efficient, and tailored to those who need them.
