communities• He searches for information about his disease,
new therapies,• He discusses about his preferences with his
doctors• He seeks to contact peer patients• Exchanges information

Patient-designed healthcare?CHAORDIC: What if your data did not have to die in dusty paper files and unconnected electronic silos? What if many private institutions, non-profit organizations, research centers, government entities and individual patients decided to share data? What if we could do this over a span of years creating an ever larger data set? That data set could be accessed by the many in a timely fashion that will enable both the individual and the organization to make informed health decisions.
Patient-designed healthcare: the new reality
• Informed Shared Medical Decision Making • Quality of Care • Patient empowerment to understand his
disease, his treatment & care & to speak about his preferences
• Respect of patient dignity & preferences• Patient involvement in healthcare policy
planning, design of research, medicines development, evaluation of health care providers
Thank you for your attention!
