Patient participation in health care leads to lower spending on health
care due to fewer specialty care referrals. Health care in cocreation
with the patient will lead to cheaper and better health care through
better communication between health care workers and the patient,
patient will receive fewer diagnostic tests and referrals, and yield
lower expenses for diagnostic testing.
A contributing factor to lower costs is increased patient participation
during the visit, which reduces patients’ anxiety and perceived need for
further investigations and referrals. In a eviorment of more effective
patient-physician communication, physician gets more knowledge about the
patient and their hughe knowlegde on their disease.
