Abstract: Consumer engagement has blossomed in recent decades into a comprehensive approach, not only engaging people in their own care, but also in key health care system improvements at a range of levels including health services, research, governance and policy. These changes parallel international progress in patient based care and culminate in the recognition of the need for consumer partnerships in recent national and state frameworks. Striving to deliver patient-based care means that we need to rise above the 'disease-based' model of care

Helen Branswell, The Canadian Press  05.27.2015
TORONTO - The amount of money Canadians spent on prescription drugs last year rose a mere 0.9 per cent, the lowest increase since statistics on drug spending were first measured in 1975, a new report said Thursday. But Michael Law, a health economist at the University of British Columbia, warned that the trend of slowing growth in drug costs has probably run its course and steeper increases will likely pick up again soon. http://www.calgaryherald.com/health/Increase+drug+spending+hits+year+expected+rebound+soon+report/11090093/story.html
