“Governments currently appear ill-equipped to effectively govern corporatisation in primary care, as many governments continue to promote the marketisation of, and competition in, health care, assuming that this competition drives efficiency and quality. Yet, growing evidence shows that these assumptions fail in health care, wherein information asymmetry, limited patient choice, and a market with so-called passive payers undermine true competition.” Jansen et al. (in press). The Lancet Primary Care. “While these mechanisms sometimes enable improvements in cost and quality, our respondents identified many more examples of markets driving up costs and compromising quality. A substantial number of respondents also stated that effects were unclear.” Krachler et al. (2021). Public Administration Review, 82, 876-886.
