Abstract

Dating back to the early Greek philosophers, medical practice and the role of healers have oscillated between theories where (1) the classification of disease serves as the basis for the subsequent approach to treatment or (2) a diagnosis is based on the patient as a whole with special relation to the patient’s particular disability and preferences for the method of a relief. In the twentieth century, these two approaches were further detailed and named the biomedical model and biopsychosocial model, respectively. More recently, US healthcare discussions in the twenty-first century have focused on how the nation’s system delivers the highest quality medicine to some, while many go without needed care. There are numerous examples demonstrating the evidence-based research movement’s failure through reliance on randomized controlled trials measuring efficacy and not the real-world effectiveness of treatment options. Several recent initiatives energizing the need for comparative effectiveness research have also aligned with the recognized need for patient participation in all aspects of healthcare research and practice.
