Information: what do consumers want to know?
National statistics indicate the potential demand for health care information will become an increasingly important area of attention in the years ahead. Consumers currently focus on such factors as reputation, accessibility, and cost when making health care decisions. Future consumers will be concerned with the interests, experience, satisfaction, and outcomes of health professionals, facilities, and plans. Current public dissemination efforts will create additional demand for more and better health care information.
