In this edited volume, the authors address this disconnect, noting the ways in which a variety of technologies have shaped patients? roles as consumers since the early twentieth century. Chapters examine key issues, such as the changing nature of patient information and choice, patients? assessment of risk and reward, and matters of patient role and of patient demand as they relate to new and changing technologies. They simultaneously investigate how differences in access to care and in outcomes across various patient groups have been influenced by the advent of new technologies and consumer-based approaches to health. The volume spans the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, spotlights an array of medical technologies and health products, and draws on examples from across the United States and United Kingdom. 606 $aMEDICAL / History$2bisacsh 610 $adisintermediation. 610 $ahealth consumerism. 610 $ahealth inequities. 610 $ahistory of medicine. 610 $amedical technology. 610 $amedicine. 610 $apatient activism. 610 $apatient consumerism. 610 $apatient consumers. 610 $apatient information. 610 $apatient rights. 610 $apatients. 615 7$aMEDICAL / History. 702 $aCreed$b Fabiola, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aElder$b Rachel, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aElder$b Rachel, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHamilton$b Vivien$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aLentacker$b Antoine$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDe Michele$b Grazia$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMizelle$b Richard M., Jr., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aRudeen$b Christopher M., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSchlich$b Thomas$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSchlich$b Thomas, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTang$b Cynthia L.$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aVostral$b Sharra, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996714900203316 996 $aTechnology, health, and the patient consumer in the twentieth century$94553128 997 $aUNISA
