Background and Aims: Compensation for damages resulting from healthcare services is an important process in ensuring fairness and trust in healthcare systems around the world. Many countries have developed mechanisms to allow patients to receive compensation for damages resulting from medical treatment without having to prove the fault of the medical personnel or the institution, which is an approach that can reduce conflict and increase confidence in accessing health care services.
Methodology: This study is a literature review study related to the study of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The content analysis was conducted, and the descriptive presentation was presented according to the important issues.
Results: A comparison of compensation systems for healthcare losses in three countries: Thailand, Sweden, and the United States. It considers the different approaches, principles, and mechanisms for compensation in each country, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of these systems, to provide an overview of the approaches each country takes to care for patients affected by health care.
Conclusion: Studying compensation in each country will help understand differences in medical systems and management of medical risk, and may lead to the development and improvement of compensation systems that better meet the needs of patients in the future.
