Abstract

This study focuses on exploring and identifying the cost drivers behind healthcare cost in Indonesia, and particularly the role of the healthcare provider. A value chain analysis is used to identify strategic activities, strategic cost-drivers, and the behavior of hospitals and doctors. This study uses an exploratory case-study method, particularly focusing on the contribution of healthcare providers to the expensive cost of healthcare in Indonesia. Both secondary data and primary data have been used in this study. The main contribution of this study is to highlight strategic cost-drivers as well as business ethics and governance issues. This study demonstrates important findings relating to high hospital costs and the high cost of doctors.
