新西兰的一项研究调查了病人对医生自我转诊给有金融联系的提供者的关切,目的是提高透明度和信任。 A New Zealand study investigates patient concerns over doctors’ self-referrals to providers with financial ties, aiming to boost transparency and trust.

由Jaime King教授和Jo Manning教授牵头的奥克兰大学的一项调查正在研究新西兰病人与医生打交道的经验,这些医生将病人介绍给有财务联系的保健提供者,这是一种被称为自我转诊的做法。 A University of Auckland survey led by Professors Jaime King and Jo Manning is examining New Zealand patients’ experiences with doctors who refer them to healthcare providers with financial ties, a practice known as self-referral. 虽然医学理事会要求披露情况,但研究表明,病人往往因为害怕出现不信任而感到无法质疑此类转诊。 While disclosure is required by the Medical Council, research shows patients often feel unable to question such referrals due to fear of appearing distrustful. 这项研究着重于毛利人的观点,并探讨各种解决办法,例如对医生的财务利益进行公共登记——详细的性质、价值和冲突的持续时间——以提高透明度,减少病人的焦虑,并加强对医疗保健的信任。 The study focuses on Māori perspectives and explores solutions like a public registry of doctors’ financial interests—detailing nature, value, and duration of conflicts—to improve transparency, reduce patient anxiety, and strengthen trust in healthcare. 调查结果可能影响关于伦理、竞争和新西兰公共卫生制度的可持续性的政策。 Findings may influence policies on ethics, competition, and the sustainability of New Zealand’s public health system.
