Role of Health Indicators in Making Choices for Health Tourism
This paper explores the potential value of health indicators in making choices for health tourism among leading countries. Unfortunately, health indicators regarding to clinical and service quality indicators and factors which may play role in patient choice of country/hospital. e.g. safety, use of clinical protocols are very scarce and are not available for majority of the leading health tourism countries. Instead, we use proxy measures to assess the specific health indicators to evaluate these countries. In conclusion the costs of treatment combined with certain indicators can be the influencers of choice for health tourism.
