Zusammenfassung

Consumer Healthcare Information Technology hat den Anspruch, den Patienten neuartige Möglichkeiten zur Informationsbeschaffung zu eröffnen. Dies wird angestrebt durch eine bessere Einbeziehung bestehender Datenbanken und besserer Informationsvermittlung an Pa­tienten und falls gewünscht auch an die Leistungserbringer. Zudem werden bestehende und neue Systeme vernetzt und pervasiv ausgelegt. Die Inanspruchnahme von Consumer Healthcare Information Technology Diensten ist freiwillig und überlässt den Patienten stets die Kontrolle über ihre medizinischen Daten. Diese Arbeit zeigt den aktuellen Stand der Forschung in dem Bereich des patientenzentrierten Gesundheitswesens auf und weist auf Gebiete hin, die weiterer Untersuchungen bedürfen.

Abstract

Consumer health-care information technology is intended to improve patients' opportunities to gather information about their own health. Ideally, this will be achieved through an improved involvement of existing data bases and an improved communication of information to patients and to care providers, if desired by patients. Additionally, further interconnection of existing and new systems and pervasive system design may be used. All consumer health-care informa­tion technology services are optional and leave patients in control of their medical data at all times. This article reflects the current status of consumer health-care information technology research and suggests further research areas that should be addressed.
