About the Consumer Consortium on eHealth
National eHealth Collaborative, in its role as a public-private partnership, is convening a broad and inclusive network of consumer advocates and other interested stakeholders in a national effort to engage consumers around the tools and resources available to them through advances in health information technology. The Consumer Consortium on eHealth will work to spark a grassroots movement intended to empower consumers to take advantage of eHealth tools and become equal partners in their healthcare.
The Consumer Consortium on eHealth is designed to serve as a collaborative forum for sharing best practices, initiatives, tools, resources, ideas, and experience related to effective consumer engagement on health IT. Consortium members will work together to identify obstacles to the adoption of eHealth, brainstorm solutions, and develop effective communication strategies to reach a national audience with messages about the benefits of health IT.
Grassroots movement
It would be helpful in getting the conversation going if partners in the Consortium would weigh in more specifically as to what " to spark a grassroots movement intended to empower consumers to take advantage of eHealth tools and become equal partners in their healthcare." means.
