| Coherence | Converging views of meaning—a game-changing technology | “This is fundamental to where we need to go with healthcare. I see it as an enabling mechanism to put the ownership of a person's care more in their court, to shift the paradigm we have in our system from a didactic provider-dominated healthcare service to one that is truly person-centered” | “It challenges and pushes providers to be more patient-oriented and to have the conversation with patients about what is important to them vs. what's important to us as providers, which is often different” | “The shared decision making would kind of improve the relationship or make a deeper relationship between patients and their doctors. The technology is the conduit” | — |
| Sensibility of change | “The important piece is, when a patient wishes to engage in this way and we have that option as a system to provide that [e-PHR] to them, there must be a shared understanding of what that means” | “Once we involve our patients, it is likely that we will have a better chance to have more compliant patients and better outcomes too, like less [disease] complications” | “So, I'll see the nurse and the dietitian and then my endocrinologist separately. I have to explain what's going on three different times before I can even start asking my questions. I think them having the whole story before I even go in would be really helpful” | ||
