Abstract:
Objective:To explore and test a blending prospective payment that suitable for integrated care delivery system in China.Methods:Referring to Accountable Care Organization and domestic reforms,it designed a performance-based and prospective global budget payment mechanism which mainly contained strategies as medical alliance contract,prepay by DRGs and performance-based management.Through a quasi-experiment,it tested its effects on controlling the inpatient spending and continuity of care.Results:There were 38 980 cases included from inpatient claims data out of 4 towns.194 medical records came from township and county hospitals.Compared to control group,the average hospitalization rate per capita every 5 months in treated group significantly declined by 0.08%,the likelihood of using upper level hospitalization significantly declined by 0.16%,and the continuity of care significantly increased by 33.80%.Global budget system would benefit decreasing hospitalization structure and improving medical collaboration.However,the effects of new model might be underestimated by the imperfect implementation of compulsory referral system.Conclusion:The medical alliances should center on combined objectives as stimulating medical cooperation and improving on quality of care.It should make the blending prospective payment decisions on basis of information-shared grading and referral medical system and empirical evidence.
