| Popis: | w omen generally are strong supporters of the consumer movement, and many women, including the four panelists featured here, have carried this orientation into decisions concerning their personal health care. It is not surprising, then, that women's health centers tend to be rooted in consumerism, from the initial marketing surveys that precede their inception, to their priorities of making health care delivery as accessible, convenient, and desirable for women as possible. In this panel, four women of different ages and differing health needs talked about what they want from the health care system. Their preferences revealed more in common than their differences. They prefer care that emphasizes wellness and prevention, allows them to take responsibility for their own health, and educates them to make informed choices. Convenience is important too, but the quality of relationships they establish with their providers seemed the uppermost factor on all of their minds. |
