Prepared for California HealthCare Foundation by
Shaller Consulting.
"In response to the trend of increasing consumer involvement in health care decision
making, [this report] examines the various forms and functions of tools available to help
consumers make more informed choices. It summarizes evidence regarding the effectiveness

"The report outlines key barriers that limit consumers’ use of these tools and suggests
practical steps to address those barriers by improving the design, content, format, and
distribution of information tools."

nationally integrated, electronic decision support systems...
