Abstract:
This study investigated the perceptions of elderly individuals concerning their choice between two types of health care facilities: walk-in-clinics and private practitioners. A determinant attribute approach was employed using the perceptions of the elderly on twenty-six attributes and the importance of each of these attributes in choosing a health care facility. It was found that quality, sociopsychological, and economic attributes were determinant while convenience attributes were not determinant. Implications for health care providers are discussed.
