摘要：

Decision makers sometimes face a default choice - the option that will be implemented if an alternative is not actively chosen. Health care quality can be improved by default options such as administering vaccinations to eligible hospitalized patients who do not decline them. The authors argue that these options should be set strategically and used to improve public health. Copyright © 2007 Massachusetts Medical Society. All rights reserved.
