Health 3.0—The patient-clinician “arabic spring” in healthcare

Abstract

A growing number of citizen-patients and clini- cians use Communication and Self-Managed Heal- th Technologies (CSMHT) in their relationship. Doing so, they shift from the current paradigm of dependency to a co-responsibility paradigm in healthcare. Facing the runaway utilization of heal- th services, we need to think “outside the box” to unblock the system. A Health 3.0 development model of governance that position patients as primary members of the clinicians’ team is pre- sented to map this institutional transformation. At the practical level, an MD 3.0 relational model and a Citizen-Patient 3.0 behavioral profile are presented.
