“Yesterday at TEDxSV Thomas Goetz, executive editor of Wired Magazine and author of The Decision Tree, talked about a concept where individual decision-making will become paramount in health.
For the past year, I’ve been working on a concept that explains how we might harness individual decision-making choices, and the control someone has over them (real AND perceived). I realized as I looked back through emails and blog posts that I’ve failed to clearly define this so others can get to work using it.
I’ll keep this blog post clear and concise in style, rather than verbose and metaphorical, in the hope that it will lead to an acceleration in how we talk about healthcare reform and ‘meaningful use’ of individuals’ health data.
The theory is something I’m calling Choice/Control Aware Care, and I believe it is the second generation of Participatory Medicine.”
