Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This research was a survey to ascertain whether there are differences in opinion about designated doctors and hospitals, type of health care service utilized and health behavior between people who have applied to be Medical Aid Beneficiaries, but not using the Designated Doctor System.
Method: The participants were from three groups, application for two years, one year and non-appliers. Data collection
was done by Medical Care Client Managers through in-depth interviews using a structured questionnaire.
Results: The participants expressed no negative effect of the designated doctor system in relation to designated doctor, hospital or health behavior but there was a significant effect in type of health care service utilized.
Conclusion: In the future, the commitment of Medical Care Client Managers is important, but the role of health care providers will be emphasized in order to sustain the effectiveness of the health care system under the Designated Doctor System.
