abstract: 'Objective For a long time in China, public hospitals have been the most
prominent provider of healthcare. However, recent policy reforms mean
the private sector is experiencing rapid development. Thus, the purpose
of this study is to detect whether the policies published by the
government aimed to improve the quality of healthcare services were
catering to patient''s preferences.
Participants and methods Our work uses dental care as an example of
services provided in outpatient setting and takes advantage of a
labelled discrete choice experiment with a random sample of respondents
from Beijing. Participants were asked to make a choice between four
healthcare providers with different attributes. Mixed logit and latent
class models were used for the analysis.
Result Care provided by high-level private hospitals and community
hospitals were valued RMB154 and 216 less, respectively, than care
provided by class A tertiary hospitals, while the most disliked provider
was private clinics. This was the most valued attribute of dental care.
Respondents also value: lower waiting times, the option to choose their
doctor, lower treatment costs, shorter travel times and a clean waiting
room. However, when the level of provider was analysed, the prevailing
notion that patients in China were always likely to choose public
services than private services no longer holds. Four classes of patients
with distinct preferences for dental care provider choice were
identified, which can partly be explained by age, income, experience and
Hukou status-a household registration permit.
Discussion The study to some extent challenged the overwhelming
predominance of public healthcare providers in China. The preference
heterogeneity we found was relatively large. Our findings are
significant for providers in developing more specific services for
patients and for policymakers in weighing the pros and cons of future
initiatives in medical reform.'
