A lot of things go into being an ePatient, but through working on helping more patients transition into ePatients, I have come to realize it is not just the individual that creates the ePatient, but an ePatient team. It is the individual that must digest all the information as his own; however, the empowerment can just as much come from the support group of physicians and caretakers (family, friends, etc.) that give this individual the motivation to seek empowerment and to claim empowerment as his own.
