BACKGROUND: While the effect of gatekeeping was extensively studied, few efforts have been made to explain why the measures to strengthen gatekeeping do not work well in some countries. This study examined the patient factors related to the choice of level of health care facilities for outpatient care in Korea.
METHODS: We examined a population-based sample representative of the population of Korea aged 15 and over in the healthcare experience survey of 2021. A logistic regression model examined the factors associated with choosing hospitals or clinics for outpatient care.
RESULTS: Easy accessibility, kindness of medical staff, and recommendations from acquaintances were considered more important for those who chose clinics over hospitals. While those who chose clinics were more likely to feel that physicians and nurses more readily communicated with patients, those who chose hospitals were more likely to feel that the facility was comfortable. Whereas those who chose hospitals were more likely to trust the current health care system in Korea, those who chose clinics were more likely to think that the health care system needed to be reformed. The tendency was similar when analyzed only among those with good perceived health conditions and without chronic diseases.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that the preference for hospitals over clinics is mainly based on desire rather than medical need and is not likely to be affected by measures intended to induce a voluntary change of behavior.
