The roles of both the consumer and the health advocate professional
have become increasingly significant in to day's climate of
"rationed" health care. It seems clear that the timely exchange of
ideas among seasoned health care advocates is necessary if we are
to deal with the complex problems of a technologically advanced so
ciety seeking to ration its heath care in a truly humane way.
Toward such a timely exchange, the first Confer ence on Advocacy in
Health Care was organized by the Health Advocacy Program of Sarah
Lawrence College and recently held. Advocacy in Health Care: The
Power of a Silent Constituency is the proceedings of the conference
and will, we believe, greatly extend our efforts to share both the
problems and solutions that effective patient advocacy entails.
Never before has the issue of advocating for special population
groups by combining the resources of consumers and professionals
been the exclusive focus of one volume. This book discusses the
power of such an alignment and describes specific organizational
techniques that have been effective in bringing about changes in
the delivery system. The final section of the book, "Questions, Com
ments and Answers," presents a selection of topics of special
interest that surfaced during the open disc- vii viii Preface sion
at the last conference session. The comments were forthright in
their criticism of public policy, and the vigor of the argument
underscored the vitality of the co alition between professionals
and consumers."
