  Citizen-centric care impliesempowerment The World bank defines empowerment as: “ the process of enhancing the capacity of individuals or groups to make choices and to transform those choices into desired actions and outcomes” “ Empowered people have freedom of choice and action. This in turn enables them to better influence the course of their lives and the decisions which affect them. However, perceptions of being empowered vary across time, culture and domains of a person's life.” Empowerment

  A few lessons from jurisdictions Some are ‘no-brainers’ Some less clear Many niche aspects worth further study

  Conceptual Information ModelWhat we need to deliver health and wellness in keeping with citizen-centric eHealth Not just ‘ traditional ’ health workforce Including knowledge and preferences Not just clinical issues
• 12.
  What Does theModel Show? Shifts from ‘patient/provider’ to actors and people (citizens) in partnership Roles others than traditional providers are explicitly recognised as having validity and status “ Health issues” can be about wellness or illness Traditional clinical observations are little changed, but allow wider range of actors to contribute “ Plans” are central and help define relationships of citizens and support networks

  What’s right? Goodbase personas / use cases Family supports clearly integrated Clinicians access data without immediate patient consent E-comms between doctor & patient Didn’t explicitly show email, but you’d think it’d be there Home monitoring Same-place consults minimised Wellness maintenance

  What’s missing fromthe Continua video? All those people have good ‘environments’ Enough money for IT & nice housing Somebody who cares A basically good attitude Main characters with family support, but not much co-dependence The Continua vision didn’t extend to: Population health & continuous process improvement Clinicians working as genuine team

  An iterative development path Create a consultation programme to involve clinical, consumer and special interest groups More widely promulgate the rationale for citizen-centricity to promote debate Further innovation on clinical roles and responsibilities, clinical care models and attendant processes Ongoing development of underpinning standards Develop an evidence base through further research and proofs of concept, recruiting existing leaders Roadmap: Recommendations

  Summary Consumerism, innovativeprivate providers & ambitious national strategies are creating a new vision for eHealth NZ systems ‘not broke’, but we can learn from offshore leaders A citizen-centric model can provide a context to integrate the new possibilities Need to promote iterative programme of innovation to make it happen

  Must balance harms From lack of information against From inappropriate divulging of personal health information Primacy of Patient Safety Difficult to measure on each side of equation! Implies sharing of non-identifying information for quality improvement as long as likely benefits outweigh likely harm We suggest consumer accessible audit trail, with viable consumer query mechanism, as a key element of access strategy for identifiable information Break glass strategy (it’s the choice we make for fire alarms!)
