This research was conducted at a multispecialty hospital located in Bangalore, Karnataka, with the aim of identifying the reasons why some patients visited the hospital's outpatient department (OPD) frequently but did not prefer for admission despite the availability of affordable facilities. The possible factors associated with this trend were investigated, including financial constraints, dissatisfaction with consultation, inadequate personal attention, delayed service delivery, or recommendations for private consultations. The study adopted a census method to select a sample of OPD patients who did not take admission despite doctor's instructions. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in a cross-sectional study design based on patient’s observations and reasons for not seeking admission. The study aimed to identify the reasons behind this trend and its consequences for patients.
