Consumers use the health system frequently.
Affordability is increasingly a problem for consumers.
Consumers are receptive to health system improvements that add value.
Security and privacy issues around personal health information remain a concern.

2012 Survey of U.S. health care consumers: Segmentation INFOBrief and Infographic
Deloitte takes an in-depth look at six health care consumer segments, the different ways they navigate the health care system, and the implication for industry stakeholders.
Health plans’ challenge; delivering on consumer preference
Health care consumers are ready to shop for insurance and customize the plans they buy. They want more choices and better tools to find the right fit and the best value.
Consumers’ utilization of the health care system
Satisfied with care, but thirsty for information - most consumers have primary care doctors, most people use them, and most people are satisfied with the medical services they provide.
Rx use and life sciences innovations: Consumers’ attitudes and behaviors
Prescription medication users are clearly engaged in managing their care. They look for information, consider alternatives, and seek value and effectiveness.
Information technology, social media and online resources for health care – a slow climb
Use is growing faster than trust, medical consumers rely more and more on a variety of information channels and resources, but that doesn’t mean they’ve placed their complete trust in it yet.
