Genetic evidence of assortative mating in humans
Do patients’ information requirements for choice in health care vary with their socio‐demographic characteristics
OBJECTIVES: This study examines whether the information used to inform hospital choice, and the sources of that information, varies with patients' socio-demographic characteristics. It also examines whether information used by patients to inform choice is associated with attending their local hospital. METHODS: A survey of 1033 patients who were offered a choice of hospital provider for elective treatment in England. Logistic regression was used …
Integrating care for older people with complex needs
Case managers or care coordinators who support patient-centred collaborative care are key to successful integration in all our cases as are policies that provide funds and support for local initiatives that allow for bottom-up innovation. However, more robust and systematic evaluation of these initiatives is needed to clarify the 'business case' for integrated health and social care and to ensure successful generalization of local successes
Continuing efforts to integrate care can benefit from cross-jurisdictional comparisons
Despite its theoretical appeal, integrated care remains a new frontier for health and social care systems in many countries. A key motivation for increasing the integration of a range of health care services with socialor community-based services is the imperative to improve the patient experience, particularly for individuals with ongoing multiple and complex health care and functional needs. To meet these needs they receive care from many diffe…
More Is Not Always Better
Public policy decisions often appear based on an assumption that providing more options, more information, and greater decision-making autonomy to consumers will produce better outcomes. We examine reasons why this "more-is-better" approach exists based on the psychological literature. Although better outcomes can result from informed consumer choice, we argue that more options, information, and autonomy can also lead to unintended negative conse…
Less Is More in Presenting Quality Information to Consumers
Much effort has been put into improving measures of health care quality. Although early research suggested that consumers made little use of quality reports, most reports were based on nonstandardized measures and were not user friendly. Information presentation approaches, however, will have a significant influence on what information is attended and used. The present research examines whether information presentation methods differentially infl…
Informing UK Policy Development on the Regulation of CAM Practitioners
Public policy discussions on how to regulate acupuncture and herbal medical practitioners have reached a stalemate in the United Kingdom. After considerable activity in the first half of the current decade a wider review of professional regulation has re‐opened the discussion as to the most appropriate way to regulate the practice of all health‐care practitioners. In the meantime, the public continues to consult complementary and alternative medi…

Patients, Power and Responsibility – the First Principles of Consumer‐driven Reform
Has the Portuguese NHS Achieved its Objectives of Equity and Efficiency
The Portuguese healthcare system has been in a state of continuous change since the political revolution of 1974, which brought about a constitutional commitment to a universal and comprehensive national health service. Despite much legislative activity, only partial implementation of these laws has taken place and the current system requires further changes if it is to attain its stated objectives of increasing equity and efficiency. This articl…
