abstract: Many in the healthcare industry think it's inevitable that we're heading toward consumer-directed healthcare (CDHC). For CDHC to work, it will require more of a partnership between doctors and patients than ever before. The author offers key ways doctors and their staffs can respect the time and intelligence of their partners in health--their patients.
