Neurological Outpatients Prefer EEG Home-Monitoring over Inpatient Monitoring-An Analysis Based on the UTAUT Model.

Home monitoring examinations offer diagnostic and economic advantages compared to inpatient monitoring. In addition, these technical solutions support the preservation of health care in rural areas in the absence of local care providers. The acceptance of patients is crucial for the implementation of home monitoring concepts.

Dataset and protocols on the applicability of the BDM mechanism in product evaluation.

Understanding how to best elicit consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for goods in an incentive-aligned way is one of the cornerstones in marketing planning decisions and consumer welfare theory. This article provides a dataset from an experiment with n = 107 consumers that measured the WTP for a set of eight real consumer goods by means of the Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) mechanism, entailing a facultative resell option. This procedure allows for testing the empirical incentive-compatibility of the BDM mechanism.

Insurees' preferences in hospital choice-A population-based study.

In Germany, the patient himself makes the choice for or against a health service provider. Hospital comparison websites offer him possibilities to inform himself before choosing. However, it remains unclear, how health care consumers use those websites, and there is little information about how preferences in hospital choice differ interpersonally.

Case vignettes based on EQ-5D to elicit stated preferences for health services utilization from the insurees' perspective.

Background: There is little evidence as to why or why not insurees decide to seek medical services. Steps prior to the entry of the insuree into the professional health care system have not been sufficiently examined and can only be partially described by secondary data of the statutory health insurance (SHI). We report the first investigation using case vignettes based on the generic health-related quality of life questionnaire EQ-5D as part of a choice study to assess insurees' stated preferences in health services utilization.
