The Value of Patient Preference
Parents prefer and will seek out alternatives to general anesthesia, for ear tube procedures for their children.¹ The authors of a recent publication in JAMA from Harvard: Patient Preference Research in Otolaryngology: What Do Patients Want? describes:

• “Value as perceived by the patient” is increasingly important in today’s healthcare landscape. This includes comparative value to other factors, such as convenience, price, frequency of use, and alternative treatments…¹
• …In the future, success should not be limited to a set of clinical outcomes predetermined by physicians and payers, but rather should account for what is valued by patients.¹
