บทคัดย่อ

The purposes of this research were to examine the factors affecting the room price of private hospitals and public hospitals in Bangkok. The conceptual framework was based on hedonic pricing model. The sample included 5 public hospitals and 28 private hospitals in Bangkok. The results showed that the accreditation, location, land price, and the type of room, and private hospital listed in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), had a positive impact on hospital room price. The accreditation had a comparable positive effect on room price as the hospital listed in the SET, this result implied that the hospital could improve the image of the hospital by listing in SET or apply for international accreditation to increase the room price.
