Health consumer choice drives better care
27 March 2018 - Giving people greater choice in human services including health would give consumers more control over their lives and generate incentives for providers to be more responsive to their needs, the Productivity Commission says in a new report on human services reforms.
“This report calls for more emphasis on the development of consumer-centred health care which we strongly support,” the CEO of the Consumers Health Forum, Leanne Wells, said.
“The report, Introducing Competition and Informed User Choice into Human Services. Reforms to Human Services, states that more patient choice would empower patients to choose options that better match their preferences.
