Abstract

This study is all about transparency and disclosure of medical services in Indian Hospitals, where researchers communicated with the hospital authority, patients and their attendants and collected primary data for further analysis. Resultants are surprised to see that in health care, services quality is not as good as patients are paying. Medical services can vary greatly-even for the same procedure, in the same area, within the same network. Quality and outcomes can vary just as greatly, with no relationship to price.

Health care transparency can help patient and their attendants to improve the throughout communication between the Hospital authority and patients. It also leads to more engaged, activated employees. Greater transparency means disclosure of all medical procedure before the attendant of patient that high-quality health care providers will receive the recognition they deserve for the excellent care they deliver.
