Health consumerism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Health consumerism is a movement which advocates patients’ involvement in their own health care decisions. It is a movement from the “doctor says/patient does” model to a partnership model. Health consumerism tries to encourage health information empowerment and the transfer of knowledge so that patients can be informed and therefore more involved in the decision-making process. It also attempts to promote public understanding of basic organ function, the processes of chronic disease, and the beginnings of how to best prevent these diseases.[1]
