12. THE EFFECT OF INFORMATION IN THE PROVISION OF HEALTH CARE. IS INFORMATION EQUALLY USEFUL FOR EVERYONE?: THE MODEL Scenario 2: Patient-Centred Model Let us divide equation 7, from the first order condition into two parts: and Under the PC model, and from the first order condition in equation 7 we cannot ignore the first part of the equation as we did under the TM model because now . Lets manipulate the terms to show that: And from here we solve for I* PC . Result 1: The optimal level of information provided to individuals is greater under the PC model than under the TM model.
