However, advocacy has many interpretations depending on the issue at stake, which can be different from this initial value-neutral definition. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by lovslinky - Wed Sep 5 21:30:33 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. A patient advocate means that you stand up for the patient's health, rights, and dignity when others won't do so. This usually involves being the communicator between a patient and a physician. For example, if a particular pain medication is not working for a patient, you can advocate for the patient by speaking with the physician to get a different pain medication ordered. By being a patient advocate, you are ensuring that the patient gets the optimal treatment.
