Host: Alicia A. Sutton Guest: Dave deBronkart From the annual meeting of the Alliance for Continuing Education in the Healthcare Professions in Orlando, Florida, keynote speaker Dave deBronkart joins host Alicia Sutton to discuss the evolving roles in the patient and doctor relationship. Better known as ‘e-Patient Dave’, deBronkart emphasizes key points in the shift from the patient as a passive recipient of care to one where the patient is an active contributor to his or her own care. deBronkart discusses healthy patient:doctor communication and ways clinicians can employ effective techniques. As a co-founder of the Society for Participatory Medicine and stage 4 kidney cancer survivor, deBronkart speaks globally on how patients should be partners in their care, rather than passive recipients, and how collaboration makes healthcare better for everyone.

We are all patients, but only one has come to be recognized as the face and voice for a growing community of activists encouraging the rise of participatory medicine. My guest today is a cancer survivor and patient advocate, Dave deBronkart, better known as e-Patient Dave. The evolving field of health & medicine has many challenges, but having patients pro-actively participate in their medical decision-making shouldn’t be one of them. As an industry that has historically relied on the one-sided expertise of physicians, technology and the internet have fundamentally changed the game. Patients have much greater access to information than ever before. So why then is it still so difficult to get patients to take charge of their health?  As it turns out, e-Patient Dave believes there is a science to patient engagement and behavior change that is not too different from how we describe the mechanism of action of a drug. On this episode, Dave shares what this means, what he has learned in his own personal journey on battling the ugly “C” word, what he believes is the fundamental difference between a patient and consumer, and what we need to do going forward so that patients play a more central and active role in their care. I found this conversation to be both inspirational and informative as I hope you will too. e-Patient Dave is an inspiring human being who believes the voice of the patient needs to be heard around the world. All this and more on today’s episode. Now, That’s Unusual. About “e-Patient” Dave deBronkart Dave deBronkart, better known as e-Patient Dave, was diagnosed with Stage IV kidney cancer in January of 2007. The best information gave him just 24 weeks to live, and with tumors in both lungs, several bones and muscle tissue, the prognosis was grim. Lucky enough to be connected with an academic medical center, Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess, he received superior care that leveraged the best available research. Once it was clear that he had beaten the disease, deBronkart became an activist, seeking to open the healthcare information system directly to patients on an unprecedented level, thus creating a new dynamic in how information is delivered, accessed and used by the patient. Dave is the author of the highly rated Let Patients Help: A Patient Engagement Handbook and one of the world’s leading advocates for patient engagement. After beating stage IV kidney cancer in 2007 he became a blogger, health policy advisor and international keynote speaker. He is today the best-known spokesman for the patient engagement movement, attending over 500 conferences and policy meetings in fifteen countries, including testifying in Washington for patient access to the medical record under Meaningful Use. A co-founder and chair emeritus of the Society for Participatory Medicine, e-Patient Dave has appeared in Time, U.S. News, USA Today, Wired, MIT Technology Review, and the HealthLeaders cover story “Patient of the Future.” His writings have been published in the British Medical Journal, the Society for General Internal Medicine Forum, iHealthBeat, and the conference journal of the American Society for Clinical Oncology. In 2009 HealthLeaders named him and his doctor to their annual list of “20 People Who Make Healthcare Better,” and he’s appeared on the cover of Healthcare IT News and the Australian GP magazine Good Practice. Key Interview Takeaways The ‘e’ in e-patient stands for more than just ‘electronic.’ An e-patient is equipped, engaged, empowered and enabled to ask, “How can I help?” When considering scientific literature, ask yourself, “Was this study done well?” e-Patient Dave has a great respect for the literature, but he understands that it can be unreliable. Doctors are not trained how to examine and validate clinical studies, thus patients aren’t always receiving care based on the latest information. Though we crave certainty, we live in uncertainty. Our body has just twelve ways to express a problem,

Dave deBronkart joins us to talk about how being an empowered patient helped him get the life-saving treatment he needed after being diagnosed with kidney cancer.
