Managed Competition in Health Care
Workshop Proceedings
Managed Competition in Health Care was released on 10 December 2002. The workshop, held in Canberra on 23 August 2002, was attended by fifteen leading analysts and practitioners to examine a model for reform in Australia proposed by Dr Richard Scotton. The Scotton model is designed to harness market incentives to improve the funding and delivery of health services. This report was prepared to enable wider dissemination and discussion of the ideas that emerged from the Workshop and to guide possible future research in this area. It includes the introductory comments and summaries of the general discussion for each of the four Workshop sessions. Also see:
