| Consumers in Health Care: The Burden of Choice |
|
|
|
|
As consumers assume greater responsibility for their own health care, they are being asked to make more, and more complex, decisions than ever before. At the same time, the growth of information and increasing customization of health care products and services has ratcheted up the need for understandable information that aids in consumer health care decision-making.
This report distills the latest research on consumer decision-making, explores the methods consumers use to make choices, and looks at what influences affect consumer action. The research suggests important implications for the development of effective information tools for consumers, including the need to:
Make information relevant and appropriate to specific decisions;
Use creative ways to help consumers simplify their choices;
Target information at the right audience;
Work through trusted advisors and intermediaries;
Cultivate an image as a trusted source;
Integrate information to offer the benefit of one stop service; and
Emphasize benefits, not features.
