The concept of co-production fascinates me. Studies have shown that empowering patients through co-production yield better outcomes. This article explains how Veterans can manage their own healthcare and be a co-producer of their own health. The VA created a website for them MyHealTheVet.com, where the veteran can manage their own care,schedule their own appointment online, view their lab values and medical records, consult a doctor, fill their prescriptions, etc. I think this is a great way of empowering patients.
