Abstract:
This study reviewed the history and major issues of the reimbursement system reform on public hospitals in China,and analyzed the impact mechanism of specific reform approaches including price adjustment of health service and government special appropriation on the health care services provided by hospitals using qualitative analysis methods.This study has the following findings:if the public hospital is allowed to operate independently,the compensation by health service price adjustment will encourage hospitals to increase their service provision;the compensation method of government special appropriation will decrease the amount of service,and probably cut back the amount of drugs sold;with both reforms combined,hospitals will be encouraged to increase their medical service provision to make up for the revenue lost caused by canceling drug mark-ups.Finally,there were several policy suggestions.
