Abstract
The health reform carried out in our country has resulted in a number of both positive and undesirable results in outpatient medical care, which requires an increase in the level of public health in the country. The introduction of free choice of GPs in our country made it possible for his patients to change freely. The purpose of this study is to analyze the patient's motives for changing P. Material/methods: A survey was conducted among respondents in the period 1-30 September 2018 in the Pleven region. Patients visited their GPs during the study period. A direct individual anonymous survey was conducted containing 35 questions, of which 29 closed questions, 4 semi-open and 2 open-ended questions. The results were processed through Microsoft Office Excel 2007. Results: The analysis of a number of authors, as well as our own empirical research, show the existence of a number of motives for changing the choice of patients for a personal physician. The patient's prior knowledge of the qualities and competencies of the chosen physician is very low. This choice of patients is most often spontaneous, random and not sufficiently substantiated with specific information. In any case, this reduces the effectiveness of the free choice of doctor. Conclusions: It is necessary to improve the organization of admission of patients by GPs.
