Healthmanagement.Org Is Proud To Release Details About The IT Stories Featured In Our Upcoming Journal
The autumn quarterly issue, focuses on the topical theme of Patient Power; the growing trend of placing the patient in a central position of power be it in terms of participating in their own care to demanding transparency from healthcare providers.
- (1888PressRelease) September 24, 2015 - The health management world has been buzzing with this concept for some time and it shows no sign of decline. What is interesting is that, although patient power is demonstrated across the board in the world of healthcare from primary care contact to a stay in intensive care, it is not difficult to find that the world of IT has had a key role to play in the movement of the patient to centre stage. In a sense, the patient has always been the key player in healthcare. Without the patient, there would be no healthcare system. However, the contemporary patient's status has changed from one who passively accepts all the information their doctor tells them to one who has access to information. As the adage goes, knowledge is power and IT is largely responsible for the dissemination of knowledge.
