"At its most basic level, participatory medicine means shared decision-making and deep patient engagement. Because of the rise in technology use -- as well as an increase in out-of-pocket health care expenses -- this has gone well beyond the traditional tell-me-where-it-hurts conversation between patient and doctor in the exam room....Physicians "are afraid this is something that will cost them time and money, and it will create arguments with patients," Dr. Greene said."
