The author states that the current health care market gives consumers the power to be in charge of their health because of the readily available information. This knowledge has helped the patients to engage in dialogues with doctors concerning diagnosis and treatment options. Patients are demanding to be involved in decisions of therapy options and health services. The patients also want to make decisions concerning the amounts to spend on the health services making them talk with their physicians about prescription options and costs. The health services managers can use this current trend to offer personalized health treatment and advice the patients accordingly depending on the treatments they prefer and the amounts they are willing to spend on healthcare.
