eHealth consumers know more, expect more and demand more. The Inteernet has the potential of being a major influence on them by opening up vast opportunities for information transparency and access and the sharing of information which is essential to healthcare practice. But, these vast opportunities also pose numerous obstacles, such as the lack of common terminology or terminology standardization, the uncertain quality and reliability of the information on the Internet, the public's health literacy and the digital divide. A gradual and progressive shift from exclusive to shared knowledge and responsibility can be achieved by patient/physician collaboration.
电子健康的消费者了解更多、期望更多、要求更多。互联网有潜力对他们产生重大影响，因为它为信息透明、获取以及信息共享开辟了巨大机遇，而这些对于医疗实践至关重要。但是，这些巨大机遇也带来了诸多障碍，比如缺乏通用术语或术语标准化、互联网上信息质量和可靠性不确定、公众的健康素养以及数字鸿沟。通过患者/医生合作，可以实现从独家知识和责任向共享知识和责任的逐步转变。
