The idea behind • Patients cannot be forced to follow a lifestyle dictated by others. • Preventive medicine requires patient empowerment for it to be effective. • Patients as consumers have the right to make their own choices and the ability to act on them
Why Patient Empowerment? • Patients and physicians committed to joint decision-making • Patients research own health conditions • Patients today expect physicians to be team leaders and to provide clinical and educational support • Physicians are the lead source of information, the most trusted source, and the source most likely to catalyze positive behavior change Magee, Relationship-Based Health Care in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, S. Africa, and Japan, 2003
Why Patient Empowerment? • Only 9% of consultations with surgeons and primary care physicians meet full criteria for informed decision making. Braddock JAMA 1999 • Distinguishing elements of shared decision making occurred in 0-11% of audio taped patient interviews with general practitioners. Elwyn 2001 • “.. Checking of understanding, and the involving of patients in decision making .. are rarely demonstrated” [in video taped consultations submitted for MRCGP examination]. Campion BMJ 2002
Why Patient Empowerment? “People whose lives are affected by a decision must be a part of the process of arriving at that decision.” • John Naisbitt, Megatrends
