Abstract:
Objective:Compared to pricing based on input value,pricing based on output can better motivate service outcomes towards expectations and enhance input-output efficiency.The path of outcome value-oriented pricing for healthcare services is explored to provide a theoretical foundation for the value-based pricing of healthcare services.Methods:The concepts,methods and international experience of value pricing are sorted out.Results:Outcome-based pricing in healthcare services is divided into effect and utility,and is classified into four categories based on the different emphasis on the effect and utility of healthcare services.Conclusion:Services with a strong emphasis on effectiveness can draw inspiration from the Quantified Quality of Life(QALY)results in the medical technology field,while services with a strong emphasis on utility may require the development of new utility scales for service evaluation.
