A New Process or Just a New Term?
[By Staff Reporters]
According to Javier Sanabria, Physician-Focused Consumerism is a set of initiatives designed to align physician decision making with high-quality healthcare outcomes provided in a cost-efficient manner.
Physician-focused consumerism can include the redesign of financial incentives, greater access to patient data, decision support tools, ongoing education about treatment alternatives, and an understanding of the financial impact of alternatives on patients. It can be the basis for collaborative efforts between employer health plan sponsors, provider systems, and physicians to help achieve high-quality care in a cost-effective manner.
