Abstract:
This work presents an efficient and effective system allowing hospitals to share patients’ private information while ensuring that each hospital database’s medical records will not be leaked; moreover, the privacy of patients who access the data will also be protected. We assume that the thread model of the hospital’s security is semi-honest (i.e., curious but honest), and each hospital hired a trusted medical records department administrator to manage patients’ private information from other hospitals. With the help of Homomorphic Encryption- and Private Set Intersection -related algorithms, our proposed system protects patient privacy, allows physicians to obtain patient information across hospitals, and prevents threats such as troublesome insider attacks and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Full text
Abstract:
This article looks at key changes impacting on private hospital care: the increasing corporate ownership of private hospitals; the Commonwealth Government's support for private health;the significant increase in health fund membership; and the contracting arrangements between health funds and private hospitals. The changes highlight the often conflicting interests of hospitals, doctors, Government, health funds and patients in the provision of private hospital care. These conflicts surfaced in the debate around allegations of 'cherry picking' by private hospitals of more profitable patients. This is also a good illustration of the increasing entanglement of the Government in the fortunes of the private health industry.

Abstract:
In this paper,trends in hospital service provision are measured using data on the numbers and nature of hospitals,on hospital expenditure and on hospital activity over recent years.The number of public acute care hospitals was fairly stable,however,bed numbers decreased.Hospital numbers rose for private hospitals,as did numbers of beds,particularly for group for-profit private hospitals.Recurrent health expenditure on hospitals as a proportion of all recurrent health expenditure fell,although it rose for private hospitals, and real increases in expenditure occurred for both public acute and private hospitals.Population rates for separations and patient days rose for private hospitals and were stable and fell, respectively,for public acute hospitals. Average length of stay decreased for both public acute and private hospitals, with increasing numbers of separations occurring on a same day basis.Increasing proportions of procedures were undertaken during same day stays,and in private hospitals.Separation rates varied geographically, with highest rates overall,and for public hospitals and overnight separations,for patients resident in remote centres and other remote areas.Highest rates for private hospitals were for patients resident in capital cities,other metropolitan centres and large rural centres.

Abstract:
There are two types of hospital in general, which are government and private hospitals. This study will help us to understand the customer perception, satisfaction and behavioural intention of hospital meal services in both government and private hospitals in Alor Setar, Kedah. Private and government hospitals differ in their style of food offering and service system. From this, customer perception, satisfaction, and behavioural intentions were investigated using a questionnaire survey with 150 respondents using descriptive and inferential analysis. The study shows that between government and private hospitals in Alor Setar, Kedah, the respondents show a positive perception of hospital meal services in Alor Setar in both government and private hospitals. In terms of customer satisfaction, both types of hospital show high satisfaction from all respondents. However, private hospital scores a bit higher in terms of satisfaction since the services and facilities are more upgraded than those of the government hospital of which respondents did not have such a high expectation for satisfaction since the fee is much lower than the private hospital. In the comparison of hospital meal services in terms of socio-demographic profile, there is no significant difference in gender and education level in both types of hospital. However, age and income level show a significant level of p=0.011 in age for a government hospital and p=0.018 and p=0.020 in monthly income for a private hospital. For the relationship of all variables (customer perception, satisfaction and behavioural intention), all of those show a robust, lively and direct relationship with each other. Hence, this study can help public and private hospitals improve their meal services and image to attract more customers.

Abstract:
The design of new hospital inpatient rooms is moving towards private (single occupancy) rooms. These rooms are generally preferred by patients and they may improve patient care, but they are more expensive to build and to staff than semi-private rooms. The question of their societal worth is important because hospitals are expensive, long-term investments and, once built, are prohibitively expensive to change. This paper presents a benefit-cost analysis of private rooms versus semi-private rooms in a proposed new hospital. We estimate that the net social benefit of a bed in a private room is about $70,000 more than a bed in a semi-private room.

Abstract:
Background: Solid waste management is one of the important aspects of the hospital management. Methods: In this study, we examined the quantity and composition of medical solid waste in eight private hospitals in Tehran. For this purpose, a checklist was used through interviews with hospital waste management staff as well as collecting information on hospital waste generation. The annual average of obtained data was analyzed in this study. Results: The results indicated that the private hospitals under study generated solid waste ranging from 24 to 1091 kg/day. The average medical waste generation in the studied privative hospitals was 4 kg/bed/day equal to 5.09 kg/patient/day. Common waste accounted for 70.73% of total hospital solid waste, while infectious and sharp waste accounted for 31.04% of the hospital solid waste. Infectious wastes were disinfected using autoclave in all hospitals. Conclusion: Segregation of infectious waste from hospital waste mass reduces the environmental and health risk of hospital waste and reduces the cost of waste management in private hospitals.

Abstract:
Objective: To study the effectiveness of recent private health insurance (PHI) reforms, in particular the 30% rebate and Lifetime Health Cover, in terms of their stated aim of reducing the load on public hospitals. Methods: Combines the use of two new projection models ? ?Health Insurance? (PHI) and ?New South Wales Hospitals? that use public and private hospital inpatient data from 1996?97 to 1999?2000, and NSW population and private health insurance coverage statistics. Results: With the PHI reforms 15% fewer individuals would use public hospitals in 2010 than without these reforms (around 18% fewer among the 40% most affluent Australians and 9% among the 40% least affluent). Lower public hospital usage would mainly be due to Lifetime Health Cover. Conclusion: If the PHI reforms remain in place, in 2010 a significant proportion of hospital use would be redirected away from the public sector and towards the private sector, with the shift being greatest among better-off Australians.

Abstract:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had a tremendous impact on the global medical system. The development of private hospitals is an important measure to deepen the reform of China’s medical and health system, and an important driving force to improve the effective supply of medical services. This study aims to compare the performance of China’s private hospitals before and during COVID-19 and determine the factors that affect hospital profitability between the 2 periods. Data are collected from 10 private listed hospitals from 2017 to 2022, and ratio analysis is used to measure hospital performance in 5 aspects, namely profitability, liquidity, leverage, activity (efficiency), and cost coverage. Multiple regression analysis is used to determine the influencing factors of hospital profitability. The results show a negative impact of COVID-19 on private hospital performance. Specifically, regardless of region, hospital profitability, liquidity, and cost coverage were reduced due to COVID-19, while hospital leverage was increased. COVID-19 had also an impact on hospital efficiency. In addition, before COVID-19, current ratio and cost coverage ratio were the determinants of hospital profitability, while only cost coverage ratio affected hospital profitability during the COVID-19 outbreak. We provide evidence that COVID-19 had an impact on China private hospitals, and the findings will aid private hospitals in improving their performance in the post-COVID-19 era.

Abstract:
This research aims to study the reasons for the reluctance of citizens from having surgical operations in governmental hospitals and their desire to go to hospitals in the private sector. To know the causes and their analysis, a number of private hospitals operating in Baghdad in both Karkh and Rusafa has been selected as follows: Rusafa: Jarrah Hospital, Hayat Al Rahibat Hospital, Mostanserya Hospital. Bunuk Hospital, Rahibat Hospital, Dijlah Hospital, Firdos Rahibat Hospital, Baghdad Hospital. Karkh: Meserra Hospital, Dhergham Hospital, Kadhumya Hospital. Patients who had various surgeries were interviewed, and their views and opinions were taken via a checklist which has been prepared for this purpose. 65 patients were reached, statistical data were processed through calculation frequencies, means, and percentages to know the answers of the sample of patients about the reasons of their reluctance. A set of conclusions were reached, among which: The citizens felt weakness in the performance and responsiveness of staffs in governmental hospitals, the surgeons behavior in private hospitals was more appropriate, respectful, and humane than that in governmental hospitals, the private hospital staff can better handle the patients' emotions.

Abstract:
ImportanceThe effects of private equity acquisitions of US hospitals on the clinical quality of inpatient care and patient outcomes remain largely unknown.ObjectiveTo examine changes in hospital-acquired adverse events and hospitalization outcomes associated with private equity acquisitions of US hospitals.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsData from 100% Medicare Part A claims for 662 095 hospitalizations at 51 private equity–acquired hospitals were compared with data for 4 160 720 hospitalizations at 259 matched control hospitals (not acquired by private equity) for hospital stays between 2009 and 2019. An event study, difference-in-differences design was used to assess hospitalizations from 3 years before to 3 years after private equity acquisition using a linear model that was adjusted for patient and hospital attributes.Main Outcomes and MeasuresHospital-acquired adverse events (synonymous with hospital-acquired conditions; the individual conditions were defined by the US Centers for Medicare &amp;amp; Medicaid Services as falls, infections, and other adverse events), patient mix, and hospitalization outcomes (including mortality, discharge disposition, length of stay, and readmissions).ResultsHospital-acquired adverse events (or conditions) were observed within 10 091 hospitalizations. After private equity acquisition, Medicare beneficiaries admitted to private equity hospitals experienced a 25.4% increase in hospital-acquired conditions compared with those treated at control hospitals (4.6 [95% CI, 2.0-7.2] additional hospital-acquired conditions per 10 000 hospitalizations, P = .004). This increase in hospital-acquired conditions was driven by a 27.3% increase in falls (P = .02) and a 37.7% increase in central line–associated bloodstream infections (P = .04) at private equity hospitals, despite placing 16.2% fewer central lines. Surgical site infections doubled from 10.8 to 21.6 per 10 000 hospitalizations at private equity hospitals despite an 8.1% reduction in surgical volume; meanwhile, such infections decreased at control hospitals, though statistical precision of the between-group comparison was limited by the smaller sample size of surgical hospitalizations. Compared with Medicare beneficiaries treated at control hospitals, those treated at private equity hospitals were modestly younger, less likely to be dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, and more often transferred to other acute care hospitals after shorter lengths of stay. In-hospital mortality (n = 162 652 in the population or 3.4% on average) decreased slightly at private equity hospitals compared with the control hospitals; there was no differential change in mortality by 30 days after hospital discharge.Conclusions and RelevancePrivate equity acquisition was associated with increased hospital-acquired adverse events, including falls and central line–associated bloodstream infections, along with a larger but less statistically precise increase in surgical site infections. Shifts in patient mix toward younger and fewer dually eligible beneficiaries admitted and increased transfers to other hospitals may explain the small decrease in in-hospital mortality at private equity hospitals relative to the control hospitals, which was no longer evident 30 days after discharge. These findings heighten concerns about the implications of private equity on health care delivery.

Full text
Abstract:
Objective To explore organisational factors and barriers contributing to limited uptake of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in Australian private hospitals and to determine solutions for AMS implementation. Methods A qualitative study using a series of focus group discussions was conducted in a large private hospital making use of a semistructured interview guide to facilitate discussion among clinical and non-clinical stakeholders. A thematic analysis using five sequential components that mapped and interpreted emergent themes surrounding AMS implementation was undertaken by a multidisciplinary team of researchers. Results Analysis revealed that autonomy of consultant specialists was perceived as being of greater significance in private hospitals compared with public hospitals. Use of an expert team providing antimicrobial prescribing advice and education without intruding on existing patient–specialist relationships was proposed by participants as an acceptable method of introducing AMS in private hospitals. There was more opportunity for nursing and pharmacist involvement, as well as empowering patients. Opportunities were identified for the hospital executive to market an AMS service as a feature that promoted excellence in patient care. Conclusions Provision of advice from experts, championing by clinical leaders, marketing by hospital executives and involving nurses, pharmacists and patients should be considered during implementation of AMS in private hospitals. What is known about the topic? Hospital-wide AMS programs have been shown to be an effective means to address the problem of accelerating antimicrobial resistance. However, current literature predominantly focuses on evaluation of AMS activities rather than on improving implementation success. In addition, most research on hospital AMS programs is from the public hospital sector. AMS is now part of new National Safety and Quality Health Service accreditation standards mandatory for all Australian hospitals; however, uptake of AMS in private hospitals lags behind public hospitals. Australian private hospitals are fundamentally different to public hospitals and there is more information needed to determine how AMS can best be introduced in these hospitals. What does this paper add? Further investigation on how AMS can be implemented into private hospitals is urgently required. The qualitative work detailed in the present study provides a means of tailoring AMS strategies on the basis of organisational factors that may be considered unique to Australian private hospitals. What are the implications for practitioners? Clinical and hospital executive stakeholders in the private hospital sector will be able to use solutions presented herein as a blueprint for designing sustainable AMS programs within their private healthcare facilities.

Abstract:
As a complex and multidimensional problem, the occupational burnout causes absence, dissatisfaction, badtemper, physical and emotional exhaustion and displacement. This study aimed to investigate the levels of occupational burnout and its components in Mazandaran's hospitals by the kind of their ownership. This descriptive-analytical study was conducted as a cross-sectional research in 2018. The research population included all 2,850 therapeutic employees working in two teaching hospitals, one therapeutic hospital, one social security hospital and one private hospital, all located in Mazandaran province, Iran. In total, 569 questionnaires were completed; the research instrument was the Persianversion of Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Data were analyzed in SPSS 22 by applying statistical approaches with p < 0.05. The private hospital had the highest mean rate of emotional exhaustion (44.69 ± 8.50). The social security hospital had the highest mean rate of depersonalization (25.47 ± 4.59). Considering the reduced personal accomplishment, as a component, the private hospital had the highest rate (30.24 ± 7.16). The highest and lowest mean rates of occupational burnout were observed with the private hospital (95.48 ± 16.71) and teaching hospitals (85.25 ± 15.34). The difference was significant between the studied hospitals in this regard (p < 0.001). As the private hospital had a higher rate of occupational burnout than therapeutic, teaching, and social security hospitals, the managers of the private hospital can focus on removing various tensions in the workplace and preventing heavy work length as well as compensating for a pay decrease.

Abstract:
The objectives of the study were to assess the quality of nursing care rendered by staff nurses in medical and surgical wards of government and private hospitals, to compare the quality of nursing care rendered by staff nurses in medical and surgical wards of government and private Hospitals, to find association between quality of nursing care rendered by staff nurses and selected demographic variables, to assess the level of satisfaction perceived by patients in medical and surgical wards of government and private hospitals, to compare the level of satisfaction perceived by patients in medical and surgical wards of government and private hospitals, to find association between level of satisfaction perceived by patients and selected demographic variables.Conceptual frame work was based on Donabedian’s Structure, Process and Outcome model of quality care. Quantitative research approach and (descriptive comparative) research design was used. Tools used for data collection comprised of a structured observation checklist to assess quality of nursing care and a structured patient satisfaction questionnaire for assessment of patient satisfaction. The tools were validated by experts from the field of nursing and medicine. Convenient sampling was adopted to select the 60 staff nurses, 30 from each hospital and 60 patients, 30 from each hospital. The study was conducted at a government (SMHS) hospital and a private (Noorah) Hospital, Srinagar. Data was analyzed and interpreted using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings showed that better quality of nursing care was rendered by staff nurses in private than in the government hospital. In government hospital, the areas in which staff nurses rendered good quality of care were nurse’s communication and behavior and patient safety, average quality in areas of documentation and environment and poor quality in the area of general nursing care. In case of private hospital, good quality of nursing care was rendered under the areas environment, patient safety, nurse’s communication and behavior and average quality of nursing care was rendered in the area documentation. No significant association was found between the quality of nursing care and selected demographic variables viz. age, educational qualification and years of work experience in both hospitals. The study findings revealed that level of satisfaction perceived by patients in private hospitals was better than in the government hospital. A significant association was found between the level of satisfaction perceived by patients and age and marital status, and no significant association with gender, days of stay in the hospital and history of previous hospitalization in the government hospital. On average, in the government hospital, patients were satisfied with nurse’s communication and behavior and were dissatisfied with general nursing care and care facilities in the ward. In private hospital, no significant association was found between the level of satisfaction perceived by patients and demographic variables viz. age, gender, marital status, days of stay in the hospital and history of previous hospitalization. In the private hospital, on average the patients were satisfied with the general nursing care and nurse’s communication and behavior but were dissatisfied with care facilities in the ward.The study concluded that better quality of nursing care is rendered by staff nurses in private hospital than in government hospital. The level of satisfaction perceived by patients in private hospitals is better in private hospital than in government hospital.

Abstract:
Background: In Nepal, the private sector has prominently emerged as a provider of health services in recent years. The objective of this paper is to assess whether public and private hospitals are competing for patients with similar socioeconomic strata, or providing services to different segments of the patient population. Methods: Data were collected prospectively from one public hospital and one private-for-profit hospital, both located in close proximity to one another in Tanahu district. A total of 384 and 389 patients presenting themselves for outpatient services available at the district public hospital and a private hospital, respectively, were systematically selected and interviewed using a survey form. The profiles of the patients were comparatively analyzed, and the reasons for using a particular hospital were assessed. Binary logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis.Results: Compared to the patients using the public hospital, patients at the private hospital were younger, possessed a higher level of education, represented indigenous and disadvantaged ethnic groups, and belonged to business or agricultural occupations. The four prominent reasons for using the private hospital were: positive perception/prior experience, followed by recommendation/word-of-mouth, timely availability of services, and trustworthiness. Among the public hospital patients, the prominent reasons were: low fee for services or having insurance, positive perception/prior experience, and trustworthiness. Conclusions: Public and private hospitals have played a complementary role in serving the health needs of different patient population segments in the study district. Keywords: Nepal; private hospital; public hospital; reasons for use; users profile.

Abstract:
Background: Medically inappropriate, ineffective and economically inefficient use of drugs is very common in our country. About 40% or more drugs expenditure may be wasted through irrational prescribing and dispensing. The need for promoting rational use of drugs is not only because of economic considerations; also it is an essential element for achieving quality of the health and medical care for patients and the community. For this purpose a cross sectional study was carried out among the individuals attending the outpatient departments (OPD) of Medicine, Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Orthopedics, Dermatology & Venereology, Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology of two tertiary care teaching hospitals of Dhaka, Bangladesh.Objective: To observe the prescribing pattern in outpatient departments of two tertiary care teaching hospitals (Dhaka) by using World Health Organization (WHO) core prescribing indicators.Materials and Methods: Six hundred prescriptions of patients attending the OPD of Medicine, Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Orthopedics, Dermatology & Venereology, Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology of Enam Medical College Hospital (private hospital) and Sir Salimullah Medical College Hospital (public hospital) were collected randomly on working days from April to September 2014. Then the prescriptions were analyzed by following the “Prescribing indicators form” as recommended by the International Organization of Rational Use of Drugs (INRUD)/WHO.Results: Average number of drugs per prescription was significantly high (3.07 in public hospital and 3.00 in private hospital). Generic prescribing was significantly lower in private hospital (4.00%) than that in public hospital (21.00%). Antibiotic prescription was higher in private hospital (42.35%). Injection prescribed in public hospital was 5.74% whereas 5.66% in private hospital. Drugs prescribed from Essential Drug List of Bangladesh were less in both the hospitals (42.85% in public hospital and 40.06% in private hospital).Conclusion: Average number of drugs per prescription was higher in both hospitals. Generic prescribing was lower in private hospital and prescribing from EDL was low in both hospitals.J Enam Med Col 2015; 5(3): 157-160

Abstract:
Purpose The study aims to examine the factors influencing the choice of private and public hospitals in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach Purposive and convenient sampling techniques were used in selection of 225 respondents for the study. An independent samples t-test was used in ascertaining the significant difference in the opinions of both groups. Finally, binary logistics regression was used in ascertaining the factors that significantly influenced the choice of hospitals in Ghana. Findings In Ghana, patients’ choice of private or public hospital was significantly influenced by service quality, word-of-mouth, type of ailment and National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). Patients who made choice decision based on service quality were more likely to attend a private hospital. Word-of-mouth influenced the choice of public hospitals more than private hospitals. Patients preferred visiting public hospitals for more complicated ailments such as spinal defects, HIV/AIDS, heart-related problems, etc. Patients registered under the NHIS also preferred visiting public hospital to private hospital. Although services from private hospitals were more expensive, patients were more satisfied with services provided, as compared to patients from the public hospital. Cost of service and patient satisfaction, however, did not have a statistically significant effect on the choice of hospital. Originality/value Most comparative studies done on private and public hospitals studied in isolation focused on service quality, customer satisfaction, national health insurance and cost of health care or a combination of them. This study, however, considered all these selection criteria and extended it by adding word-of-mouth and the type of ailments suffered. The study, thus, provided a more comprehensive hospital selection criteria. The use of logistics regression in this particular area of study was also quite unique.

Abstract:
Introduction: Malaria remains a real problem of public health. Its hospital care generates important expenditures for affected households. The present study aimed to estimate direct and indirect costs of severe child malaria in reference hospitals in Kinshasa. Methodology: This prospective study included 1,350 children under 15 years of age suffering from severe malaria. The study was performed between 1 January and 30 November, 2011. Data were collected in nine reference hospitals. The studied parameters were direct pre-hospital costs, direct hospital costs, and indirect costs. Costs were assessed from the household point of view. Results: Median costs associated with the disease ranged from 114 USD in confessional hospitals to 173 USD in state hospitals and 308 USD in private hospitals. Direct pre-hospital median costs ranged between 3 and 11 USD. Direct hospital costs reached 72 USD in confessional hospitals, 139 USD in state hospitals, and 254 USD in private hospitals. Indirect costs ranged from 22 USD in state hospitals to 30 USD in confessional hospitals and 46 USD in private hospitals, regardless of the status of the accompanying parent or guardian. Factors explaining the variability of costs were the neurological form of malaria, indirect recourse to hospital, socioeconomic level, type of prescribing person, child’s status upon leaving the hospital, and child’s transfusion status. Conclusions: The care of severe child malaria appeared to be expensive in private and state hospitals. A state subsidy of health care and regulation of the private sector would contribute to the reduction of malaria’s financial impact.

Full text
Abstract:
The proportion of Victorians and Australians generally with private health insurance (PHI) increased from 31% in 1998 to 45% in 2001. We analysed a dataset containing all hospital separations throughout Victoria to determine whether changes in the level of private health insurance have had any impact on patterns of public and private hospital utilisation in Victoria. Total utilisation of private hospitals grew by 31% from 1998?99 to 2002?03, whereas utilisation of public hospitals increased by 18%. Total bed-days have increased in both private hospitals and public hospitals by 12%. The proportion of all separations at private hospitals has remained relatively stable between these 2 years, with 33% of all separations being private patients in private hospitals in 1998? 99, increasing slightly to 35% by 2002?03. Analysis of a number of specific DRGs shows that patients with more severe disease are more likely to be seen at public hospitals; notably this trend has strengthened between 1998?99 and 2002?03. The number of patients treated in Victorian public hospitals has continued to grow, despite a rapid increase in the utilisation of private hospitals. Given the limited extent of the shift in caseload share between the two sectors, the effectiveness of the Commonwealth?s subsidy of private health insurance as a mechanism to reduce pressure on the public sector needs to be carefully examined.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explain the patients’ views towards private healthcare service providers. The study focussed on hospital service quality and analysed the relative significance of quality measurements in anticipating the patients’ satisfaction and loyalty. The mediating role of patient satisfaction is assessed between quality of hospital healthcare services and patient loyalty. Design/methodology/approach A total 611 patients (both indoor and outdoor) participated in a questionnaire survey from the six private hospitals of capital city, Islamabad, Pakistan. Data were analysed through descriptive statistics, common method variance, reliability, correlation and regression in order to investigate customer perceived service quality and how the quality of services stimulates loyalty intentions towards private service suppliers. Findings Findings depict that private healthcare service providers are attempting to deliver well improved healthcare services to their customers. Results confirmed that better quality of healthcare services inclines to build satisfaction and loyalty among patients. The healthcare service quality aspects (i.e. physical environment, customer-friendly environment, responsiveness, communication, privacy and safety) are positively related with patient loyalty which is mediated through patient satisfaction. Practical implications Findings will help the hospital managers to articulate effective strategies in order to ensure superior quality of healthcare services to patients. The study will induce hospital management to deliver attentions towards the quality of private healthcare service systems and improvements towards the deficient healthcare services. Furthermore, the study will present a clear picture of patient’s behavioural attitudes; satisfaction and loyalty intentions towards the quality of healthcare services. Originality/value The study provides the views and perceptions of patients towards the quality of healthcare services. The healthcare service quality dimensions, i.e., physical environment, customer-friendly environment, responsiveness, communication, and privacy and safety were assessed.

Abstract:
Objectives: Hospitals in private sectors also play an important role in the health system by providing crucial medical treatment to the population, especially during a pandemic crisis. Decision No. 3088/QD-BYT was issued by the Minister of Health (MOH) of Vietnam to promulgate the set of criteria for safe hospitals to prevent COVID-19 and other acute respiratory infections. This study was employed to describe the implementation of criteria for safety to prevent COVID-19 among private hospitals in Vietnam in 2020. Methods: A cross-sectional study based on secondary data were extracted and analyzed from a recent survey of hospital safety conducted by MOH. Total of 178 private hospitals were selected in this study. The study received ethics approval from the Hanoi Medical University. Results: The the proportion of private hospitals classified as “safe hospital” was 94.4%, “safe hospital with moderate level” was 3.9% and “unsafe hospital” was 1.7%. Thus, basically, most private hospitals in Vietnam have met the standards of safe hospitals according to Decision 3088/QD-BYT. In which, the criterion 8 “Hospital hygiene” had the highest level of compliance, followed by criterion 3 “General precautions” and 1“Establishment of steering committee and formulation of prevention plan”. Conclusions: Most private hospitals in Vietnam had met the standards of safe hospitals according to Decision 3088/QD-BYT. Ministry of Health should improve the criteria in Decision 3088/QD-BYT to be more suitable with the emerging new situation and threat of the pandemic and develop mechanisms and regulations that require not only public hospitals also private hospitals to regularly report on disease preparation and response.

Abstract:
Purpose of the article: This study was set to determine the influence of institutional framework on service quality in both private and public hospitals. The paper sought to establish the perception of respondents regarding the institutional factors that explain the existence of variations in service quality between public and private hospitals. The institutional framework aspects that were considered in comparing health service quality in public and private hospitals were: institutional culture, control, stability and structure. A descriptive survey design was used because the study sought to know the perception of respondents regarding the factors that influence quality of service in hospitals. Research methods: A multistage sampling method was used to select three public hospitals and three private hospitals from the health service sector. The three public hospitals were Muhimbili referral hospital in Dar es Salaam City, Dodoma regional referral hospital and Geita referral hospital in Geita municipality. Private hospitals included in the study were Bugando referral hospital in Mwanza City, St Francis referral hospital in Ifakara town in Morogoro region and Nkinga referral hospital in Tabora region. Medical doctors, nurses and patients were selected using a systematic random sampling method and patients were selected using a convenience sampling method. The total population for the study comprised 10,650 people (i.e. 2,610 doctors and nurses and 8,040 patients) and the selected sample size, which was determined using McCall’s Table was 400 people. Both primary and secondary data collection sources were used. Analysis of the quantitative data was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and qualitative data were transcribed verbatim, coded and analysed manually. All ethical considerations were observed. Main findings: The findings revealed that private hospitals were better in cleanliness compared to public hospitals and physical arrangement was user friendly in private hospitals compared to public hospitals. There was also more control in private hospitals compared to public hospitals in management of resources and this demonstrates an application of strong institutional framework in private hospitals compared to public hospitals in terms of control, structure and culture. Likewise, there was a more friendly atmosphere in private hospitals compared to public hospitals. However, there was more stability in public hospitals compared to private hospitals in terms of financial stability, affordability of service and medical supplies. It is concluded that quality of service provided in private hospitals is higher compared to quality of service in public hospitals. The possible explanation for the causes for differences in levels of service quality could be the existence of strong institutional framework in private hospitals. It is recommended that for higher service quality, organizations should practice the institutional framework aspects in terms of culture, control, stability and structure.

Abstract:
Based on ownership, Law number 44 of 2009 distinguishes hospitals in Indonesia into two types, namely public hospitals and private hospitals. Public hospitals are hospitals managed by the government (including local governments) and other non-profit legal entities. Meanwhile, a private hospital is a hospital managed by a legal entity with a profit in the form of a limited liability company or limited liability company. The quality of health services in hospitals is a unique phenomenon, because its dimensions and indicators can differ among the people involved in health services. To overcome the differences, a guideline is used, namely the basic nature of the implementation of health services, namely meeting the needs and demands of users of health services. The purpose of this study was to describe the quality of outpatient services at state hospital X and private hospital Y in Pekanbaru City. This research is an analytical observational study with a cross sectional approach with a point time approach model using purposive sampling. The sample consisted of 30 outpatients at state hospital X and 30 inpatients at private hospital Y. The data collection tool used was a questionnaire. The technical analysis used is the servqual method. The results showed that Private Y Hospital had good quality outpatient services based on five dimensions (physical evidence, responsiveness, assurance and empathy) especially on the physical dimension. Slightly different from the X State Hospital which is still considered adequate in the quality of outpatient services based on five dimensions (physical evidence, responsiveness, assurance and empathy).

Abstract:
The prevalence and severity of medical disputes in China have attracted the attention of society and academia, and how to alleviate medical disputes has become a major concern. Following the implementation of a series of policies, the private sector in China’s hospital market has expanded rapidly over the past decade. It remains unknown whether the market mix of hospital ownership could alleviate medical disputes, this study aims to bridge the gap. Data are collected from all hospitals (2171) in Sichuan province, China, from 2012 to 2015. Using a negative binomial hurdle model, the results show that for hospitals with disputes, the private hospital market share has an inverted U-shaped relationship with the number of disputes. However, no significant relationship is found between the private hospital market share and the probability of dispute occurrence. For hospitals with disputes, competition plays a protective role in the effect of the private hospital market share on the number of disputes, hindering the increase in the number of disputes and facilitating a more rapid drop. However, medical quality is found to play an insignificant role in that effect. The findings also support encouraging new private hospitals in China rather than privatizing existing public hospitals.

Abstract:
Hospital services in Australia are provided by public hospitals (about 75% of hospitals, two-thirds of separations) and private hospitals (the balance). Australians use about one bed day per person per year, with an admission rate of about300 admissions per thousand population per annum. Provision rates for public hospitals have declined significantly (by 40%) over the last 20 years but separation rates have increased. Average length of stay for overnight patients has been stable but, because the proportion of same day patients has increased dramatically, overall length of stay has declined from around seven days in the mid 1980s to around four days in the late 1990s.

Objective: To understand the present state of CRM in tertiary level public and private hospitals in Dhaka City, by identifying customers’ profile, customers’ expectation, and by assessing customers’ satisfaction. Material and Methods: This cross sectional descriptive study was conducted in two tertiary level hospitals of Dhaka city, from July 2018 to June 2019 among 220 samples from each hospital, by convenience sampling. Data were collected by interview using semi structured questionnaire and reviewing of check list. Results: Among service receivers, high monthly income (>30000 Taka) prefer Uttara Adhunic Medical College Hospital (UAMCH) (23%) than Dhaka Medical College hospital (DMCH) (5%). Doctors explained health condition to patient or relatives in 64% cases in DMCH and 82% cases in UAMCH. Nurses attention for privacy and courtesy towards patient was 75% and 31% in DMCH which was 86.4% and 50% in UAMCH. About 59% and 20% service receivers from public and private hospital respectively were of the view that pharmacy staffs did not explained properly about safe methods of taking drugs. The overall patient satisfaction was found 63.7% and 69.4% in DMCH & UAMCH by using The Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (PSQ- 18 scale). Conclusion: All these findings suggest that people are satisfied more with service quality of private hospitals than the public hospitals. Private hospitals trying to fulfill the requirements of the patients according to their service quality demand, in contrast, public hospitals are fighting hard to fulfill patients demand with limited resources.

Abstract:
Background and purpose: This study aims to assess time trends in case-mix and to evaluate the risk of revision and causes following primary THA, TKA, and UKA in private and public hospitals in the Netherlands.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 476,312 primary arthroplasties (public: n = 413,560 and private n = 62,752) implanted between 2014 and 2023 using Dutch Arthroplasty Register data. We explored patient demographics, procedure details, trends over time, and revisions per hospital type. Adjusted revision risk was calculated for comparable subgroups (ASA I/II, age ≤ 75, BMI ≤ 30, osteoarthritis diagnosis, and moderate–high socioeconomic status (SES).Results: The volume of THAs and TKAs in private hospitals increased from 4% and 9% in 2014, to 18% and 21% in 2022. Patients in private hospitals were younger, had lower ASA classification, lower BMI, and higher SES compared with public hospital patients. In private hospitals, age and ASA II proportion increased over time. Multivariable Cox regression demonstrated a lower revision risk for primary THA (HR 0.7, CI 0.7–0.8), TKA (HR 0.8, CI 0.7–0.9), and UKA (HR 0.8, CI 0.7–0.9) in private hospitals. After initial arthroplasty in private hospitals, 49% of THA and 37% of TKA revisions were performed in public hospitals.Conclusion: Patients in private hospitals were younger, had lower ASA classification, lower BMI, and higher SES com­pared with public hospital patients. The number of arthroplasties increased in private hospitals, with a lower revision risk compared with public hospitals.

Abstract:
The rapidly growing number of private hospitals in a short period of time has led to intense competition. Thanks to the rapid development of technology and the rapid imitation of institutions, private hospitals are similar to each other and resort to many different strategies to get rid of the same pressure. Private hospitals offer preventative medical services, outpatient or inpatient services, and rehabilitation services for individuals. However, private hospitals do not pay enough attention to healthcare development. It is assumed that private hospitals that provide services that others do not provide, establish fitness and sports centers in their structures, avoid competition and open up to the Blue Ocean, expand medical services by creating a new client segment and contribute to the image of the hospital.

Abstract:
The role of private hospitals is increasingly important in Vietnam. The study aims to determine associations between service quality and hospital brand image with satisfaction and patient loyalty, revisit intention at private hospitals in Vietnam. Quantitative cross-sectional data were collected from 268 patients in DaNang city, Vietnam. Scales to measure hospital service quality, hospital brand image, patient satisfaction, loyalty, and patient revisit intention were developed. The methods used to test the hypotheses of the study include exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM). One notable finding in this study provides practical evidence on the relationship of hospital service quality and hospital brand image with patient satisfaction and loyalty. In addition, service quality has a direct influence on patient satisfaction and revisit intention as the indicator of patient loyalty. Meanwhile, hospital brand image has a direct influence on patient loyalty, although it did not influence patient satisfaction. Results of this study help providing the basis for the marketing and customer care programs of private hospitals in DaNang city, Vietnam.

Abstract:
This study compares the quality of healthcare services provided by public and private hospitals in Jaipur, focusing on tangibility, trustability, empathy, assurance, and responsiveness. Data was collected via a questionnaire with 20 statements, completed by 50 respondents randomly selected from both types of hospitals. Results indicated significant differences, with private hospitals scoring higher across all assessed dimensions. Recognizing the pivotal role of distinguishing between hospital types, recommendations were made to enhance public hospital services and establish new facilities. The study underscores the importance of service quality in healthcare, highlighting its strategic significance in creating a competitive advantage. Quality healthcare services are deemed essential for organizational success, emphasizing the need for continuous improvement and patient satisfaction. Public hospitals, supported by government funding, offer treatment either free or at minimal charges, contrasting with higher costs in the private sector. Additionally, charitable institutions contribute to healthcare provision for the indigent population. KEYWORDS: - Public Hospital, Private Hospital, Patient Satisfaction, Quality of Services.
