Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are frequent reasons for medical consultations in general practice and can lead to unnecessary recontacts. Introducing new point-of-care (POC) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostic equipment may offer an attractive and efficient way of providing a more precise and exact microbial diagnosis. Successful uptake of POC PCR equipment could potentially lead to a reduction in recontacts with benefits for both staff and patients.

This study applies Fisher's investment framework to investigate how patient capital affects firms' green total factor productivity (GTFP). Using panel data from Chinese listed companies over the period 2008-2023, we measure firm-level GTFP by employing a non-radial SBM directional distance function combined with the Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index. Our analysis, based on two-way fixed-effects models and instrumental variable regressions, reveals that an increase in patient capital significantly enhances firms' green total factor productivity.
