title: Is the hospital patient market receptive to incentives? Results of an attitude survey.
abstract: A survey was taken of attitudes towards offering five specific services, free of charge, as incentives to encourage patients to choose a hospital different from their current preference. 48.5% of those interviewed indicated incentives would influence their choice. Twenty-three percent would use incentives even when their physician recommends another hospital.
