The Patient as Agent of Health and Health Care: Autonomy in Patient-Centered Care for Chronic Conditions
Sullivan MD, PhD, Mark (Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington, USA)
Proposals for patient-centered care for chronic illness have not understood or incorporated the capacity of patients to be active agents of health and health care. Patients can not only make treatment choices, but help define their clinical problem and its resolution. This book examines patient action as the principal path to health and an essential component of it.
