The process of "accessing choices and choosing among them" (c-c) has been proposed as a model for understanding, evaluating, and assisting a patient's management of quality of life. If desired choices are freely accessible, and the act of choosing is efficient and unconstrained, then the outcome is optimized quality of life. The c-c model fits many clinical situations where improved quality of life is a goal, and interventions may be aimed at relieving health-related restrictions of the patient's desired activities.
