Empowering Informed Healthcare Choices in Rural Areas: SIKDA, a Novel Model for Enhancing Patient Access to Reliable Consumer Health Information
Abstract
To bridge the gap between patients' desire for active involvement in healthcare decisions and the availability of trustworthy resources, the chapter introduces SIKDA. This groundbreaking model aims to empower patients and caregivers by facilitating informed patient decision-making. SIKDA represents a transformative approach to consumer health information, providing patients with a single point of access to credible and up-to-date health information online and the knowledge and guidance of a librarian. By leveraging existing NHS online resources and collaborating with public and medical librarians, SIKDA ensures accessibility and inclusivity for diverse demographics, minimizing costs to public services. The study establishes the foundation for a novel paradigm, enhancing patient engagement, healthcare outcomes, information literacy, and collaborative efforts in the digital healthcare era.
