Transparency of price, quality, and safety are a huge part of how patients will choose which physician they will see for current medical care or future services that might be needed to maintain a healthy life style. When patients are looking for a physician most of them will research the physician or medical facility to see what other patients have experienced or what the community has to say about this particular facility. If a patient does not feel that they are receiving the care they should be they will move on to another physician, even if the cost is a little higher than they paid before because, medical attention should make a patient feel less nervous rather than causing them anxiety about seeing the physician. In the past third-parties were involved in choosing the best health care option for individuals, but many of these individuals have become skeptical on the care they would receive due to the type of insurance they had or lack of at the time medical treatment was needed. Consumer decisions affect the leadership decisions because, if there are not patients going to see doctors then the business will start to struggle and then the facility could have to close their doors. Also, consumers opinions can have a huge effect on organizations since if the reviews are terrible then new patients would seek medical care elsewhere.

Consumers can trust the health care sector when there is transparency of price, quality, and safety. Consumers have been at a disadvantaged for so long due to lack of transparency around the price and cost of healthcare products and services. “Shielded in the past by comprehensive public or private insurance coverage, consumers are faced with substantial increases in cost sharing”. (Yong PL, Saunders, 2010). Many Americans cannot afford the cost of healthcare, and hospitals are not transparent enough to divulge information to consumers especially those living in the low-income communities. It is very important for the consumers to know the cost of the healthcare services before they receive care. This will create trust between the patients and healthcare providers. Transparency for patients includes understanding treatments options risks and costs, and it is the responsibility of healthcare providers to provide as much information as possible to allow for appropriate care with safety in mind.
Shared decision-making strategies have given patients information and opportunities to make decisions in partnership with their healthcare providers. When consumers are provided with accurate as well as impartial information about treatment options, consumers make more conservative and less invasive decisions that often results in better outcomes and greater value. Leadership and organization can focus their strategies based on the shared decision making that is not solely one sided but making the patients or consumers overall well- being a priority whereby creating trust and best outcome that will benefit both the organization and patients. “To maximize its possible benefits, the primary care system must be redesigned to facilitate care coordination, communication, access, cultural competency, and other qualities most highly valued by patients”. (Yong PL, Saunders, 2010).
