8,765 Hours Concept
A framework for reimagining the relationship between patients and the Healthcare System by focusing on the vast amount of time spent outside of clinical encounters.
Core Principles
- Time Disparity: Highlights the extremely limited duration patients spend within formal healthcare settings compared to their total life hours.
- Patient-Generated Knowledge: Advocates for a shift in the patient role from passive recipients of care to active producers of medical knowledge.
- Systemic Challenge: Aims to disrupt embedded assumptions within healthcare delivery models regarding expertise and data ownership.
