OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Patient or population choice of health facilities is increasingly gaining recognition for potentially enhancing the attainment of health system goals globally. In Kenya, National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) members are required to choose an NHIF-contracted outpatient health facility before accessing care. While understanding the preferences of NHIF could support resource allocation decisions, enhance the provision of patient-centred care, and deepen NHIF’s purchasing decisions, there is a dearth of context-specific and policy-relevant evidence to support these decisions. We employed a discrete choice experiment to examine NHIF members’ preferences for the attributes of NHIF-contracted outpatient facilities in Kenya.
