Realizing the value of physicians in the field of health services has made the subject of physician engagement even more important.

In addition, with the study, it is aimed to create awareness on the subject in all stakeholders (patients, healthcare professionals, healthcare institutions managers, decision-makers, etc.) who have a direct and indirect relationship with health services. The roles that physicians undertake in directing the costs in health services, ensuring the quality of care and patient safety serve as a compass in terms of creating a successful road map. In this regard, it is thought that it would be beneficial to take concrete steps towards the engagement of physicians in all processes and activities they are concerned with in terms of the success of the health system and the health institution.
