Abstract:
The evolution of China’s policy on private medical institutions has been ongoing, and a comprehen-sive policy system has been established. In this paper, we review the development history and summarize the main policy points in terms of planning, approval, financial input, supervision and administration, support and incentives. We analyze current policy barriers from three levels:1 ) policy ideas, consensus on the function and role of private medical institutions have not reached, which may influence the corresponding policy making and implementation;(2) policy design, multiple policy bottlenecks still exist, such as lack of flexibility, poor convergence, vague stand-ards and other aspects; 3 ) policy implementation, the health planning polices and equal treatment polices haven’t been carried out, and there are many hidden obstacles. To solve these problems, we recommend that further attention be paid to the importance of private medical institutions;the running mode should be chosen properly; the develop-ment space should be expanded;the classified management policy should be improved; and the supervision and ex-amination of policy implementation on local governments should be intensified.
