Aims and Scope Patients are more empowered to shape their own
health care today than ever before. Health information technologies
are creating new opportunities for patients and families to
participate actively in their care, manage their medical problems
and improve communication with their healthcare providers.
Moreover, health information technologies are enabling healthcare
providers to partner with their patients in a bold effort to
optimize quality of care, improve health outcomes and transform the
healthcare system on the macro-level. In this book, leading figures
discuss the existing needs, challenges and opportunities for
improving patient engagement and empowerment through health
information technology, mapping out what has been accomplished and
what work remains to truly transform the care we deliver and engage
patients in their care. Policymakers, healthcare providers and
administrators, consultants and industry managers, researchers and
students and, not least, patients and their family members should
all find value in this book. "In the exciting period that lies just
ahead, more will be needed than simply connecting patients to
clinicians, and clinicians to each other. The health care systems
that will be most effective in meeting patients' needs will be
those that can actually design their 'human wares' around that
purpose. This book provides deep insight into how information
technology can and will support that redesign." Thomas H. Lee, MD,
MSc, Chief Medical Officer, Press Ganey Associates; Professor of
Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Professor of Health Policy and
Management, Harvard School of Public Health The Editors: Drs. Maria
