“…In order to promote high quality professionals to top-level management, the NFA should come up with two new facilities, at least, for the newcomers: attractive medical services (like the ones already provided by multinational companies (see Teodorescu et al 2021)) and appropriate training programs, meant to diversify the employment opportunities forest engineers' spouses may have in a large city.…”

This research tried to identify the most important factors that motivate or hinder forest engineers in commuting between their household and the regional office of the National Forest Administration, or prompt them to relocate their entire family to Bucharest, where the headquarters of the NFA is located, in seeking promotion in the professional hierarchy. A survey, administered as a Google form, was designed to carry out analysis of independent benefits, opportunities, costs, and risks. The decision process was designed as an analytic hierarchy process, and each one of these factors was a separate analytic hierarchy process. We found that forest engineers tend to be very conservative when it comes to changing their professional position from the forest district to the NFA regional office or NFA top management. On the one hand, the professional opportunities to promote upwards do not compensate for the fringe benefits gained at the forest district level, while the costs of living in a larger city outweigh the benefits, even though the house rent is paid by the employer.

“…In comparison to foreign studies, the number of patients who were satis ed with public medical insurance policies in Indonesia was 42.9% [40]. Only 20-29% of Romanians had positive perceptions of healthcare provision, and the assessment of their healthcare system by the people was comparatively poorer compared to Western nations [20]. 64.0% of Europeans showed a positive perception of their national healthcare and MIS, with wealthier countries and those that spend a higher percentage of their national income on health being more likely to maintain a positive perception [54].…”

“…An analysis of the domestic and international literature reveals that among the various studies related to the MIS, the perspectives of the studies are mainly based on the insured [11,12], patients [13,14], the elderly [15][16][17], civil servants [18], and migrant workers [19]. And the scholars analyzed different research topics, such as the attitudes or choices of different groups of people towards various types of MIS [18, [20][21][22], the analysis of the main bene ciaries of the basic MIS [19,23], the impact of medical insurance coverage on healthcare utilization and health outcomes [24][25][26], the impact of the MIS on alleviating the nancial burden of the insured [27], the impact of the MIS on reducing the health poverty [28,29], the impact of the MIS on increasing the rate of utilization of the MIS or the rate of enrollment in medical insurance [30,31], comparative study of existing medical insurance policies [13], evaluation of the effectiveness of the medical insurance policy implementation [32]. Despite the valuable efforts made in previous research, certain de ciencies persist within the current literature.…”

Background: The identity of the benefits of medical insurance system (IBMIS) can reflect the quality of the implementation of medical insurance policies and is valuable feedback during the deepening reform phase of medical insurance system（MIS）. This research aims to analyze the factors affecting IBMIS from the perspective of medical insurance-related professionals and to propose corresponding policy recommendations. Methods: In 2021, we conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire survey (n=1829) in Heilongjiang Province to obtain the data. Interviewees were selected by multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling. A binary logistic regression model was used to determine the factors affecting the IBMIS. Results: Overall, 66% (1,207) of medical insurance-related professionals had a high IBMIS. The logistic regression model showed that high IBMIS was positively correlated with the following dimensions: policy capacity (OR=1.562), financial burden (OR=1.512), and convenience (OR=1.300). The seven significant influencing factors (P<0.05) of the high IBMIS include: “Relief of financial burden for people with serious diseases”（OR=2.341）, “Medical insurance's ability to solve major problems that people expect” （OR=1.604）, “Governance capacity of the medical insurance administrative agencies and management Institution” （OR=1.499）, “Effectiveness of governance for off-site medical reimbursement issues”（OR=1.436）, “Effectiveness of medical insurance Payment Reform” （OR=1.399）, “The extent of information construction of medical insurance” （OR=1.361）, “Equity of medical insurance system policies” （OR=0.753）。 Conclusion: The government should focus on reforming the medical insurance system in the following three areas: First, the management sector of medical insurance needs to continue to enhance its policy capacity, especially its ability to address the difficulties of the insured and its ability to collaborate in governance; second, it should continue to improve the affordability of out-of-pocket expenses for patients with serious diseases and expand the scope of reimbursement under the MIS to relieve the insured's financial burden; third, by strengthening the medical insurance infrastructure, the settlement service for medical treatment in other places will be made more convenient.
