Popis: Equitable provision of health care has been a longstanding goal in many European countries. Provision of such universal coverage comes with the problem of growing health expenditures that is recognized globally. This article argues that patient-centered care (PCC), which has become a new promising paradigm for cost-effective provision of health care, should also become the new paradigm in the public health decision-making. PCC relates to the notion that patients’ preferences, objectives and values should be considered in the process of decision-making and delivery of health care. If we apply the PCC paradigm to the public health issue, it can be argued that any public health program or health policy should be created and evaluated considering patients’ preferences. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to elaborate the importance of preference elicitation in health care decision-making as a part of PCC.
Jedan je od dugoročnih ciljeva europskih zemalja kvalitetna i pravedna raspodjela zdravstvene zaštite. Pružanje takve zdravstvene usluge dovodi do problema rastuće potrošnje u zdravstvu. Ovaj rad ističe da pristup usmjeren na pacijente (PCC), koji je postao nova paradigma za troškovno-efikasno pružanje zdravstvenih usluga, treba postati i nova paradigma u stvaranju zdravstvenih politika i programa. PCC ističe da preferencije, ciljeve i vrijednosti pacijenata treba uvažavati prilikom donošenja odluka u vezi sa zdravljem. Ako se PPC primjeni na problematiku javnog zdravstva, može se reći kako se bilo koji zdravstveni program ili politika trebaju stvarati i evaluirati na temelju preferencija pacijenata. Sukladno s time, cilj je ovog rada elaborirati važnost vrednovanja izrečenih preferencija, kao djela PCC, u procesu donošenja odluka u javnom zdravstvu.
