Dominance and Activity Trends of Consumer and Provider Volunteers in Health Planning Organizations
Abstract
Many laws & guidelines require volunteer citizen consumer &
professional participation in planning & policy-making bodies. The
relationship between these groups & the chores of committee work
is analyzed on the basis of a detailed empirical study in a health
planning setting: specifically, 3 health planning agencies in Pa with
a total membership of 521 (N = 279 health consumers & 242 health
providers), of whom 210 were taken as a 40% stratified sample.
Emerging professional dominance adds evidence to economics-based
public choice theories, & challenges legislators & general
citizens to develop the ways & means to broaden effective
participation. 5 Tables, 1 Figure, 19 References. Modified HA.
