| Annotation | Health and long-term care (LTC) delivery and financing in the US and elsewhere are in the process of changing to a situation in which the individual patient or consumer exercises a higher degree of personal choice, direction and control. Chapters focus on theory and practice of of consumer choice and direction in the area of publicly funded healthcare and LTC services, including consumer control by older and disabled people. The final chapter of Part I suggests that the testing process on the efficacy and advisability of consumer-directed healthcare is likely to present ethical and legal challenges. (RH) |
