Then, seven indicators were used to analyze the allocation of resources;two indicators were used to analyze services;eight indicators were used to analyze costs. The entire situation of different styles of institutions through 2011 to 2013 was compared. Results:The results indicated that in the allocation of resources, the current level of premium private medical institutions is not high enough;large-scale construction is still at its early stages;and the medical personnel structure is not reasonable enough;as for service quantity, the total growth rate of premium private medical institutions is high but the service quantity is still far below that of the VIP services in public hospitals;as for medical expenses, premium private medi-cal institutions are charging high service fees, and the internal structure of the expenses is reasonable.
