The reseach method is sequential exploration type of qualitative method to develop value scale.The grounded theory was used considering the newly introduced concept of patient value. Interviews were conducted with 13 experts and 19 hospitalized patients in under studied Hospitals. Of the 533 phrase identified by MAXQDA software, 963 primary concept were extracted Results: Findings show that the patient value focuses on his or her benefits and losses. Benefits include the effectiveness of treatment and care; and losses include money, time, resources, and efforts patients spend on services’ cost, accessibility, and error and risk management. The structural relations between the factors of quality of treatment and care, patient value, patient trust, luxury services, patient satisfaction and patient behavioral intentions are proposed as the research paradigmatic model. Conclusion: The quality of treatment and care affects patient value mediated by the patient's trust and moderated by the luxurious services.

        Health organizations around the world invest heavily in value-based healthcare, and time-based activity-based costing is part of cost-based value-based healthcare that is able to solve cost issues, Has been raised. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of time-based costing in the healthcare sector, how it is applied as a seven-step approach specifically designed for value-based healthcare and the cost-benefit implications Finding based on time-oriented activity in the future. This is a systematic study based on a systematic review statement. Qualitative methods for data analysis were used through content analysis. Time-based costing is applicable in the healthcare sector and can help cost effective processes, thus addressing the key challenge associated with current cost accounting methods. The ability of this method to inform payment and reimbursement systems and coordination in providing continuity of care is still to be proven in the published research, and the role of cost-based time-based activity in this cost-accounting perspective is still under way. Time-based activity-based costing should be gradually added to functional systems based on the recommendations contained in this review. In this way, time-based activity-based costing will be able to record in a better and accurate manner the cost of providing care in a situation and to control costs in an effort to create value in health care.

        Background & Aim: Medicinal plants have served as the primary constituents of traditional healthcare methods. Such plants have served mankind since primordial times. But such traditional knowledge is lacking conservation and promotion in present times. Documentation of such traditional knowledge can serve as safeguards for the conservation of such knowledge. The study primarily aims at the documentation of locally abundant medicinal plants available in the Kapilvastu district of Southern Nepal.Experimental: Data on medicinal plants regarding their local name, parts used along with their usage were collected through a questionnaire survey with a total of n=54 individuals of the locality. Excel software was used to analyze the pooled data and results were demonstrated in tables, charts, and graphs. Google Scholar and Researchgate were assessed for secondary data collection.Results: A total of 50 plant species from 46 genera representing 30 families used for curing 55 types of diseases were identified in the study area. Family Fabaceae was reported with the maximum number of species used (n=6). Trees (n=26) was the major used life form and leaf was the most frequently used (n=28) in terms of parts used.Recommended applications/industries: This study serves as a future basis for research promotion, resource production, policy formulation, and protection of these highly valuable plants. The paper will also be useful for those looking for traditional remedial measures using locally available plants in Kapilvastu district, and also will serve as informational bank for homeopathy-based curative measures.

        Health indicators, as a significant factor, can play a crucial role in enhancing the levels of developmental indicators in countries. The present study aims to examine the impact of health indicators on economic indicators during the period 1395-1399 for 31 provinces of the country. This research is of an applied and analytical nature. Data analysis is conducted using Stata 17 software, and model estimation is based on the Panel Data pattern. To test the hypotheses, Xtpcse test has been utilized to achieve the results.The results obtained from estimating the model indicate a positive and significant impact of health indicators on economic indicators such as the participation rate of the population aged 10 and older, the unemployment rate of the population aged 10 and older, the Gini coefficient of urban and rural areas, per capita gross domestic product, gross domestic product, health and treatment costs, and education.

        Poverty is one of the most important obstacles to economic development and thecause of many economic problems in all countries. Therefore, recognizing the mainfactors affecting poverty is very important for the policymakers in the field of righteconomic policy. Therefore, this study examines the effect of inflation andunemployment along with the two variables of government healthcare expendituresin GDP and population growth on the Gini coefficient, as an indicator of poverty inthe provinces of Iran, during the period 2006-2018 using spatial econometricapproach to investigate the provincial spillover effects. The results showed thatinefficient healthcare expenditures, which along with population growth are themost important factors influencing the deterioration of income distribution withoutincreasing human capital and unemployment rate, has been increasing due to theyoung population of Iran and its increase in the labor market in different years andinflation, which has risen sharply in recent years due to rising sanctions, has madepeople poorer. These are factors that have worsened income distribution andincreased poverty in the provinces of Iran. Also, the spatial proximity between theprovinces worsens the income distribution. Therefore, policies to reduce poverty,improve welfare and improve income distribution in all provinces need to beadopted in a balanced way in order to improve income distribution. Manuscript profile
