TY - JOUR AU - O’Neill, Liam PY - 2017 TI - Choice or control: what do patients really want? JF - Annals of Research Hospitals; Vol 1 (April 2017): Annals of Research Hospital Y2 - 2017 KW - N2 - When it comes to selecting a health care provider, patients want choice. Gone are the days when patients were willing to accept a passive role in their own care (1). There is also a strong demand for comparative information on the quality of health care providers, such as reports on risk-adjusted outcomes or patient satisfaction. Given that many patients now have access to such information, one would think that “quality compare websites” would play a significant role in patient decision-making. Yet research has found that no more than about 5% of patients actually use such information when choosing a health care provider (2). UR - https://arh.amegroups.org/article/view/3678
