What is it?
• an individual being an active member of
his/her disease management team
Laura E. Santurri. Patient Empowerment: Improving the Outcomes of Chronic Diseases Through
Self-Management Education. http://www.case.edu/med/epidbio/mphp439/Patient_Empowerment.htm 4
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
5
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
6
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
