The Patient’s New Role in Healthcare

1:55 minute video. Technology is changing the role of patients in healthcare. In the future, patients will have more access to the same tools and information that doctors have, enabling them to manage their own care. While this technology and increased access to information can be beneficial, it can also create the illusion that patients don’t need to see a doctor and patients may decide they are going to completely manage their health outside the supervision of an expert. Healthcare providers must maintain a balance between allowing patients to manage their health when it is safe to do so and creating a system that alerts patients when they should see a doctor.
