This timely study analyzes social, economic, political, provider,
and patient factors shaping collective patient involvement in
European health care from the postwar period to the present day.
Examining representative countries England, the Netherlands,
Germany, and Sweden, it documents the roles of providers and
legislatures in facilitating consumer involvement, and the varied
forms of patient input into hospital operations. These findings
are compared and contrasted against the intent and ideals behind
patient involvement to assess the effectiveness of implementation
policy, strengths and drawbacks of patient participation, and
patient satisfaction and outcomes. The book’s conclusions
identify emerging forms of patient participation and
predict the impact of health policy on the future of
European collective patient involvement.
