【 摘 要 】

Public involvement has been advocated as a means to enhance the responsiveness of healthcare systems. Yet despite its obvious appeal, the concept has remained poorly defined and its rationale and objectives are rarely specified when applied to the healthcare sector. This report aims to update existing work on both the conceptual and the empirical evidence for public involvement in healthcare policy. We draw on a comprehensive review of the published literature, supplemented by exploratory observations from selected public involvement initiatives in different health system contexts.
