Answer:
Patch management can be seen from two point of views:
1. Routine patching - Approach it as IT Operations (find out here more about it "IT Operations Management Function in ITIL" https://advisera.com/20000academy/knowledgebase/operations-management-function-itil/ or "ITIL Service Operations – From development to maintenance without headaches" https://advisera.com/20000academy/blog/2015/10/27/itil-service-operations-from-development-to-maintenance-without-headaches/) activity. This is usually the case when you have mandatory patches and you set a process, and - that's all.
2. Critical or more (from resource, risk, technology... point of view) demanding patches - use change i.e. release and deployment management process to handle them.
Important is to know "what's in front of you" and manage the implementation.
