Abstract

Since Summer 1995 a pilot project on patient's card has been running in Neuwied and Koblenz / Germany. On the basis of this project, we initiated another project on the role of the patient in designing this patient's card. With the help of this project, we wanted to activate the discourse among patients' groups about patient's cards. Another aim was to find out ~ether their participation in such card project could be possible. Despite high interests from patients' groups of our participation project, their participation was prevented due to several problems.
