Paying for primary care: A cross-sectional analysis of cost and morbidity distributions across primary care payment models in Ontario Canada
Four Flavours of Health Expenditures: A Discussion of the Potential Implications of the Distribution of Health Expenditures for Financing Health Care
Different categories of services present different policy issues for financing health care. This conceptual paper suggests four categories: (1) public health services for the entire population; (2) basic health care to individuals, where anticipated costs are small and relatively homogeneous; (3) potentially catastrophically expensive services to individuals, where costs are skewed but not predictable; and (4) potentially catastrophically expensi…
Another Look at the Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Experience in Canada
Policy debates about immunization frequently focus on classic trade-offs between individual versus collective well-being. Publicly funded immunization programs are usually justified on the basis of widespread public benefit with minimal individual risk. We discuss the example of the policy process surrounding the adoption of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in Canada to consider whether public good arguments continue to dominate immunizatio…
Renforcement de la capacité en soins infirmiers de santé communautaire et de santé publique: Rapport de synthèse de la National Community Health Nursing Study
Do people want to be autonomous patients? Preferred roles in treatment decision‐making in several patient populations
Background What role do people want to play in treatment decision‐making (DM)? Objective Examine the role patients indicate they would prefer in making treatment decisions across multiple clinical settings in Ontario, Canada. Design Secondary analysis of a series of survey/interview‐based studies measuring preferred role, conducted in 12 different populations. Setting and participants Respondents were outpatients, largely but not entirely attendi…
Patient, consumer, client, or customer: What do people want to be called
Objective To clarify preferred labels for people receiving health care. Background The proper label to describe people receiving care has evoked considerable debate among providers and bio‐ethicists, but there is little evidence as to the preferences of the people involved. Design We analysed dictionary definitions as to the derivation and connotations of such potential labels as: patient, client, customer, consumer, partner and survivor. We then…
Canadian Health Reform: A Gender Analysis
We analyze the gender impact of the current Canadian system of first-dollar health insurance by examining the use of physicians' services and acute-care hospital services in the Canadian province of Manitoba from April 1, 1997, to March 31, 1999. First, we describe the use by age and sex of healthcare resources offered with universal access at no cost to individuals. Second, we argue that women have a particular interest in maintaining single-pay…
How does trust affect patient preferences for participation in decision‐making
Objective Does trust in physicians aid or hinder patient autonomy? We examine the relationship between trust in the recipient's doctor, and desire for a participative role in decisions about medical treatment. Design We conducted a cross‐sectional survey in an urban Canadian teaching hospital. Setting and participants A total of 606 respondents in three clinics (breast cancer, prostate cancer, fracture) completed questionnaires. Variables studied…

Overconfidence among physicians and nurses: The 'micro-certainty, macro-uncertainty' phenomenon
The Impact of Selected Patient Characteristics on Practitioners?? Treatment Recommendations for End-stage Renal Disease
Medical decision making under uncertainty was tested using an empirical study of practitioner judgments concerning the preferred treatment(s) for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Patient-specific factors were varied systematically in written case vignettes, which were mailed to physician and nonphysician practitioners who treated ESRD patients in Canada and Michigan. Respondents were asked to indicate for each vignette: a preferred treatm…

The Fault, Dear Brutus: Women as Congressional Candidates in Pennsylvania
A Model of Decision Making: Treatment Choice in End-Stage Renal Disease
Planning: Lessons From the U.S.S.R
Evaluation of the success of a plan requires the collection of statistics and indicators for monitoring purposes. In the health care field, outcomes are notoriously difficult to measure. To the extent that a successful program of prevention should result in providing less of a service, a conflict exists between planning and prevention: in the absence of outcome measures, success will be indistinguishable from failure, as in both cases, planned ta…
