This article examines the role of power distribution in partnerships between health consumers and professionals in determining successful desired outcomes, and the contributing role of consumer knowledge and autonomy. Recognition is given to the lack of practical tools, from both consumer and professional perspectives, to assist in the creation of productive partnerships.
A conceptual analysis of the notions of consumer knowledge and autonomy in the context of outcomes, followed by the development of a prototype framework that aims to facilitate productive health partnerships.
The authors present prototype tools, which are shared between health consumer and professional, for identifying the strength of their cumulative power relative to their alignment to a common desired outcome (goal). The tools provide a choice of power contexts for the partnership to operate within, and a simple method for testing alignment to a common goal.
Increased health consumer knowledge and autonomy is associated with improved outcomes and these can in turn be influenced through productive health partnerships. The P2 framework is one approach to establishing robust working relationships between health professionals and consumers.
本文探讨了在确定成功期望结果方面，健康消费者与专业人士之间权力分配的作用，以及消费者知识和自主权的促成作用。从消费者和专业人士的角度来看，都认识到缺乏实用工具来帮助创建富有成效的伙伴关系。
对结果背景下的消费者知识和自主权概念进行了概念分析，随后开发了一个原型框架，旨在促进富有成效的健康伙伴关系。
作者提出了原型工具，这些工具在健康消费者和专业人士之间共享，用于确定他们相对于共同期望结果（目标）的一致性的累积权力的强弱。这些工具为伙伴关系提供了多种权力环境选择，并提供了一种简单的方法来测试对共同目标的一致性。
提高健康消费者的知识和自主权与改善结果相关，而这些又可以通过富有成效的健康伙伴关系来影响。P2 框架是在卫生专业人员和消费者之间建立稳健工作关系的一种方法。
