Health Policy. Patients who did not find any of their prescribed medications in the hospital were willing to pay more than those who found “some” or “all” of their medications. This result suggests that patients living “very far” or “far” from the hospital were willing to pay more than those living “average” distances. On the other hand, those who have “rare” do not probably feel the advantage of meeting the same doctor every time. The economic value that arises from a change in the quality of services which is not reflected in observational behavior [4] is often not captured. 1 author.

Privacy The CV method is the most widely used method to measure passive use value [5]. Facing the increasing cost of health services and rising demand for health services, policy makers are interested in measuring the passive use value of health care services. Seven different Tobit regressions were conducted; each of the regressions was followed by a RESET test [19]. 0000092973 00000 n
Firstly, seven partial Tobit regressions corresponding to seven different attributes were analyzed to estimate the “beta” coefficients which explain expected willingness to pay (WTP) for each attribute and to show how WTP varies with socio-economic characteristics. Higher income earners were willing to pay more than lower income earners to benefit from improvements over all seven quality attributes: geographical proximity (0.00001), waiting time (0.0002), staff attitude (0.0002), see the same health professional (0.0008; p < 0.01), doctor-patient relationship (0.002; p < 0.01), drug availability (0.002; p < 0.01) and chance of recovery (0.002; p < 0.01). Willingness to pay (WTP) is a fundamental variable that should be used in the social and economic evaluation of construction projects and car park management because it provides a clear idea of the tariff cost depending on other factors that are important to the user. in rural Vietnam. Only one-fourth of the patients (22.6%) were always examined by the same doctor; about 6% of the patients rarely meet, and about 7% have never met the same doctor in the hospital. The negative coefficient of the chance of recovery (−3.20, significant at the 1% level) indicates that patients declares a positive WTP value decreases when the chance of recovery score increases and a higher expected chance of recovery.
