Seville, 2011-August health private enjoys a good valuation between Andalusian patients; both users and managers assess their overall performance with a remarkable (a 7,53 patients and a 8,04 seconds). Thus reflected in study on healthcare delivery patient Andalusia submitted on May 18 in Seville, the first exclusively performed in centers of private health care in a community, the Andalusian, which is about 20% of private healthcare and the Spanish population.
Thus, according to the findings of the study, with a sample of 925 patients and 24 directors, before a serious illness, 3 out of 10 people choose the private health system, 4 public and 2 make it interchangeably (one in ten is silent). Managers, on the other hand, think majority (71% of cases) that users come in such situations to one or the other either.
By contrast, in situations of normality, patients come more frequently (45.9 per cent of cases) to private health care that public (37.8% of the time); 14.6% do both. Among the first, up to 83% comes from MUFACE, MUGEJU or ISFAS, of which (58%) health insurance has contracted over.

This innovative project, funded with a grant to the Ministry of health of the Junta de AndalucÃa has granted to the CEA has been realized by the Ãliad company, specializing in services to the private health Spain and experience in the preparation of studies of this sector.
Comfort and speed of the attention, main reasons to choose the private health
The reasons that wield patients to choose private health include the comfort of the rooms, the speed of the care, treatment and information received and training of the staff of nursing.
On the other hand, when they opt for public health do available media and technology and the training of medical professionals.
Meanwhile, the main reasons for patients when choosing one or another private Centre are close to home, quality and prestige of the hospital, confidence in the physician and the ease to get together.
However, managers do not coincide in this order and believe that patients valued little, for the time being, the recognition of quality. Thus, less than 25% of the patients knows if hospital which comes available this certificate, although within this percentage 70% is valued much by what can be assumed that advertising which make these centres of these certificates in insufficient.
The latter is important, as Julio González Bedia, Director General Ãliad knowledge and service, says that he hopes that this study will become in a tool not only to know the preferences of patients and users of private health care, but also to help take sector improvement initiatives with regard to these views ”.
Málaga, the province where most valued private health

Málaga is also the only province where most valued private healthcare to the public at all levels questioned in the study. In Seville, however, it seems that recent investment in the sector have not penetrated in the perception of the patient.
With regard to the overall perception of the private health care, the order of evaluation by provinces is Granada (7.8), Cádiz (7.7), Seville (7.5), Almeria (7.5), Cordoba (7.5) and Málaga (7.4). This can be attributed to the effect of the respondent patient experience and the increased demand for experienced private patient.
