Inhaltsangabe

"Empowered" patients create advantages for themselves and communities by monitoring their own needs and reducing loads on overstretched resources. But the patient-consumer can be seen as isolated and overly responsible for choices about their care. This volume reflects on isolation and relationships in health care, including relationships between patients and their peers or families as well as those they have with clinicians.
