The relationship between a doctor and a patient plays an important role in patient satisfaction with health-care services. It has become an important and contentious issue in China's health-care reform. This study uses service fairness as a theoretical lens to investigate the influence an implementation of a patient-accessible hospital information system (HIS) has on doctor-patient relationships and patient satisfaction. We developed a research model that relates patient-accessible HIS implementation with perception of service fairness, doctor-patient relationships, and patient satisfaction. Data were collected from patients in one of the biggest hospitals in East China that has implemented patient-accessible HIS. Results of the study show that patient-accessible HIS promotes patients' perception of service fairness, improves doctor-patient relationships, and increases patient satisfaction.

MAGDM in hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean linguistic Z-number based on combined score function and entropy

Jinxin Yang, Dongxiao Gu, Shanlin Yang, Kongchun Mei, Yunxia Cao

Summary: In this paper, a new linguistic fuzzy model called HIVPLZN is proposed, which combines a linguistic fuzzy set and a linguistic Z-number. It enhances the reliability of decision-making information, reflects the fuzziness, flexibility, and practicability of decision-making information, and has wide applications in various fields. The paper presents a method to solve multi-attribute group decision-making problems and introduces related operators, aggregation operator, and score functions of HIVPLZN. The feasibility and validity of the method are verified through an example and comparison with existing methods.
