Introduction
Many policies** state that to “deliver high quality sustainable healthcare globally” we need:
Patient empowerment e.g. Ready Steady Go and Hello programmes
Patient owned electronic record enabling patients and healthcare professionals to share information on-line e.g. My Medical Record
Focussed healthcare professional practice through strategies such as Motivational Interviewing
Centralised information resources –a vision/work in progress e.g a virtual assistant
The Ready Steady Go and Hello programmes help empower young people and adults to manage their healthcare by equipping them with the skills, knowledge and confidence to manage their condition by using a structured framework to facilitate discussion and education. This is important for all patients with a long term condition including those with learning disabilities and those attending Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).
