چکیده
This paper discusses specific trends in health care financing impacting the demand for health care services, and examines the patient provider relationship from an economic perspective. Patients are paying more outof-pocket for health care likely promoting demand for health care goods and services high in quality and value. When the patient-provider relationship is examined from an agency perspective, the importance of patient preferences for health care, especially preferences related to interpersonal aspects of health care become important. It is suggested that pharmacy researchers examine the importance of interpersonal preferences in the provision of pharmaceutical care and educators heighten students’ awareness and assessment of interpersonal preferences during patient interactions.
