Patient-centred healthcare subscribes to the belief that the patient has strengths, values and experiences that are important in the healthcare experience and relationship between those providing care and the patient. It requires patients to have the ability to obtain and understand health information, and make appropriate health decisions. The main problem here is that though the e-health applications provide patients and consumer with access to health information, each application is still individually used and the used and produced information remains within each system.

“There is a growing awareness of the opportunity that mobile has for healthcare,” Dr. John Mattison, assistant medical director and chief medical information officer (CMIO), Kaiser Permanente Southern California told MobiHealthNews in an interview at HIMSS 2010 in Atlanta last week. “When we spoke last December, that much was clear. What has not gotten recognition is that mobile health can have a significant economic impact on the healthcare economy and healthcare reform. That awareness will hit in the next six to eight months,” Mattison said.

“Despite the personalized attention I get in our pediatrician’s office and their general responsiveness to calls — both to their own nurse call line and during on-call hours — I find certain aspects of this 20th-century practice frustrating. The most important ongoing issue relates (not surprisingly) to the one chronic condition we have to manage: The intermittent asthma of my youngest son, 5-year-old Ryan.

“Among the many things that made the IxCenter’s Patient-Centered HIT Initiative great was listening in to what patients were saying about their care. We can learn an enormous amount from listening to consumers about their care experiences.

“Many claim to have coined the term “information therapy”. The fact is that information “therapy” has been practiced by providers for decades, without their really knowing it. When each of us visits our doctors, we receive information – even if we don’t remember 90% of what we are told.

“Over at the e-patients blog, John Grohol has some criticisms of information therapy (Ix) and Health 2.0, particularly with respect to the joint post that I did with Matthew Holt and Indu Subaiya last week on this blog, The Health Care Blog, and the Health Affairs Blog. Grohol seems concerned that broadening the definition of Ix and Health 2.0 render them less meaningful.
