However, does price not matter at all? To investigate what quality and cost factors influence whether patients perceive health care services as expensive and will recommend a hospital to other patients, the authors analyzed data from a national survey of patients in Taiwan in 2002. A total of 6725 subjects returned questionnaires. Results from logistic regression models showed that (1) a patient's perception of expensiveness was determined simultaneously with the perceived quality and the out-of- pocket price of care, (2) a patient's perception of hospital quality appeared to be the most important determinant for recommending a hospital, and (3) while the out-of-pocket price did not affect a patient's recommendation, the perceived expensiveness of the services did. The perceived value rather than the price itself is the essence of quality competition in Taiwan's health care market. |
