    Oct 20 2011: Today healthcare needs New healthcare model like --- Mass collaboration or a participatory healthcare model:- In this model patient –lead the care. Now patient is less for acute and more for chronic disease which is generally arises due to lifestyle of the citizens. Patient are more concern about their healthcare, want every information about their healthcare, get second advice from internet or doctor or from same disease patients . Now current treatment is not sufficient for patient they need more care or ongoing support to live with their chronic condition. This model focuses on co-production and co-creation or patient engagement kind of healthcare. For example: Patientlikeme.com, Medmd.com, medical information on mobile.
    Now,new approach of healthcare are evolving like Co-design, Co-production and co-creation
    Co-design:- Co-design in healthcare means when patient, professional and community working together to design solution for healthcare but final solution is implementing by professionals.
    Co-production:- When patient and community are helping equally to improve healthcare system using their capacity.
