In the contemporary society, with the disintegration of political authoritarianism and the rise of democratic equality thoughts, as well as the flourishing information and popularity of medical knowledge, patients¡¦ autonomous consciousness and consumerist consciousness thus arise. In this information society, the boundless Internet brings a huge amount of information, and enables the general public to actively enrich themselves with professional medical knowledge, to have a online discussion with others, or to provide online support to each other. Such moves will transform the physician-patient relationship from the traditional ¡§professional led¡¨ interaction to different types of interaction, and hence the relationship between a physician and a patient generally deviates from the social hierarchy system in the past. Medical knowledge is no longer something that the physician can monopolize and enjoy exclusively. Accordingly, several types of physician-patient relationship have been developed.
While the information revolution is generally striking the medical profession, in response to the future development and change in the medical field, some assistance should be given to medical students and practitioners to continuously learn new knowledge and new technology, as well as grasp and develop proper communication ability in this rapidly changing information age to build a solid foundation for their future role as a physician. Therefore, it leads to the author¡¦s query about ¡§what competence should a physician possess¡¨ to effectively manage the ¡§new physician-patient relationship management in the information society¡¨ mechanism, which becomes the motivation of making an in-depth study. It is hoped that the literature review and the in-depth interview in this study could help find out the way that physicians and patients ¡§adjust¡¨ to each others in these new types of physician-patient relationship in the information society. Moreover, physicians have to understand that only by improving the effect of their physician-patient relationship management can they create a win-win result under a harmonious physician-patient relationship.
