About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the monetary value of patient-centrednes in health care by determining a willingness-to-pay for more patient-centredness care for both patients and health insurers

Full description

We perform our study in the area of fertility care, as it is known that infertile patients suffer from a high physical and physiological burden during treatment and could especially benefit from patient-centred care. Moreover, previous studies have clearly identified the concept of patient-centred fertility care and have shown that improvement is needed.
