Abstract:
Unleashed growth of gross healthcare expenses has emerged a major headache for public administration of countries at large.In China as well,such a rapid growth is incurred mostly by overtreatment due to irrational healthcare compensation.Against this background,it is highly significant to have a brand new insight into over-treatment in China' s viewpoint,and to further study the role of an improved mechanism for primary healthcare compensation for the purpose of curbing over-treatment.These efforts will help improve the primary healthcare service and realize goals of the ongoing health reform.
