Managed competition in health care

This report documents the discussions and outcomes of a workshop run by the Australian Productivity Commission in 2002 on the issue of 'Managed Competition in Health Care'.

The aim of the workshop was to examine a health system reform model which proposes 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.
