Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
This study is based on the research conducted at a multispecialty hospital, at Ahmadabad, Gujarat. The study had been undertaken with the primary objective of analyzing the results and reasons due to that patient visiting the hospital OPD at high frequency however they did not prefer to take admission despite providing the adequate facility at affordable cost. Those reasons could be associated with monetary crises, dissatisfaction with the consultancy, lack of personal attention, delay in services provided or references for private consultancy. Samples have been selected through random sampling method from the population, who were OPD patients however they did not take admission, despite doctor’s instructions. Close ended questionnaires format was applied for one-to-one interview. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (viz.chi square) as a cross-sectional study, on the basis of observations and reasons stated by patients, the hypothesis is tested.
