Better yet, let’s move away from the term patient to the term consumer leaving us with the informed consumer or consumer informed. This industry, as a whole, including those that write about it really need to change their perceptions to this view. While it may seem only a small issue of semantics, it actually gets to the heart of the issue.
Changing from the current parent-child relationship (as in the case of provider-patient) to peer to peer, (provider-consumer) will help initiate some of the changes that are necessary.

To be honest, I’m always troubled even by the term ‘consumer’ when it comes to health care although I use it all the time. It seems to carry too much market-based ideological baggage and presumes a certain sameness with used cars. It also promotes commodification of health care which may or may not be a good thing.
