title: Consumer ownership of health.
abstract: Accountability is the central theme in any definition of control over one's health. Until systems and approaches to health include accountability-based approaches, outcomes will be compromised. It is the work of the advanced practice nurse to advocate for accountability models for building consumer control over personal health.
