Very few commentators writing about how to make the NHS sustainable ever mention harnessing the power of IT-enabled patients. Still fewer take the home seriously as a place where care (perhaps the lion's share of it) occurs. If one thinks of the care continuum, it should normally start and end with the home. A sustainable health delivery model has people caring for themselves expertly at home, knowing when to call on others for help and knowing what to do once they are back home again.
很少有评论者在撰写关于如何使英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）可持续发展的文章时提到利用信息技术赋能患者的力量。更少有人认真看待家庭作为护理发生场所（也许是大部分护理发生的场所）。如果考虑护理连续体，它通常应该以家庭为起点和终点。一个可持续的医疗服务提供模式是让人们在家中熟练地自我护理，知道何时向他人求助，以及在回到家后知道该怎么做。
