ABSTRACT The health seeking behaviour of a community determines how they use health services. Utilisation of health facilities  can be influenced by different attitude, perceptions, determinants and effect of increasing cost of healthcare. The objective of this study was to compare attitude, perception, determinant and effect of increasing cost of healthcare of  health seeking behaviour of academic staff in two different tertiary institutions in Edo state, Nigeria.

Abstract:

The increasing healthcare cost imposes a large economic burden for the Japanese government. Predicting the healthcare cost may be a useful tool for policy making. A database of the area-basis public health insurance of one city was analyzed to predict the medical healthcare cost by the dental healthcare cost with a machine learning strategy. The 30,340 subjects who had continued registration of the area-basis public health insurance of Ebina city during April 2017 to September 2018 were analyzed. The sum of the healthcare cost was JPY 13,548,831,930. The per capita healthcare cost was JPY 446,

Abstract:

In this paper, we explore the role patient incentives play in slowing healthcare spending growth. Evidence suggests that while patients do indeed respond to financial incentives, cost-sharing does not uniformly improve value; rather, cost-sharing provisions must be deliberately structured and targeted to reduce care of low marginal value. Other mechanisms may be helpful in targeting particular populations or types of utilization. The spillover effects between privately insured and publicly insured populations as well as market imperfections suggest a potential role for public policy in promoti

With increasing competition in the local and regional healthcare markets, and growing interest in assessing the effectiveness of services and patient outcomes, satisfaction measures are becoming prominent in evaluating the performance of the healthcare system. This study examines the independent effect of predisposing, enabling and medical need factors on perceived access to care with particular focus on insurance plans. A survey questionnaire is developed to investigate access limitations at three levels: (1) the health plan, (2) the individual provider(s) and (3) the healthcare organization.

Abstract:

In healthcare applications, often it is not possible to record sufficient data as required for deep learning or data-driven classification and feature detection systems due to the patient condition, various clinical or experimental limitations, or time constraints. On the other hand, data imbalance invalidates many of the test results crucial for clinical approvals. Generating synthetic (artificial or dummy) data has become a potential solution to address this issue. Such data should possess adequate information, properties, and characteristics to mimic the real-world data recorded in natural

In Iraq, the healthcare records of public hospitals are increasing progressively with poor digital management. While recent works indicate cloud computing as a platform for all sectors globally, a lack of empirical evidence demands a comprehensive investigation to identify the significant factors that influence the utilization of cloud health computing. Here we provide a cost-effective, modular, and computa

Abstract:

Worldwide healthcare expenditures’ dynamics have registered a continuously increasing trend. Curbing healthcare expenditures growth may be attained by identifying which factors determine them and their impact. The purpose of this study is to determine the main macro determinants of per capita health expenditures at a national level, for the European Union member states, estimating their size of impact. Unbalanced panel data for the EU-27 member states throughout 2005-2020 are modelled with the pooled OLS method for panel data, fixed effects modelling and random effects modelling. Estimations a

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Clinical laboratory services are at the forefront to support healthcare services, particularly during the pandemic of COVID-19. The increasing number of private clinical laboratories at present days indicates the increase in patient needs, causing the healthcare service provider to face challenges as people have more options. Therefore fostering patient loyalty (PL) is a crucial success factor for the business growth of clinical laboratories as healthcare providers.  AIM: The purpose of this study is to analyse antecedents of patient satisfaction (PS) in clinical laboratories

This study examines the evidence which supports the importance of maintaining relative abduction for effective reeiprocal walking in high level paraplegic patients. In comparisons of orthoses, where this can only be achieved mechanically, those with higher lateral rigidity consistently showed greater levels of walking efficiency. The influence on hybrid systems of functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the gluteal muscles, where the primary function is to maintain abduction, also showed reductions in overall energy cost, reductions in upper limb effort, or both.

IntroductionOsteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mass and density, increasing skeletal fragility, and the risk of fragility fracture. Fragility fractures are associated with a high economic burden. Denosumab (Prolia®) is a pharmacological therapy used to treat osteoporosis and reduce the risk of fragility fracture. This study aimed to assess the cost effectiveness of denosumab, compared with other pharmacological therapies (oral bisphosphonates, intravenous [IV] ibandronate, zoledronate, raloxifene, and bazedoxifene) and no treatment, for treating postmenopausal women with osteoporo
