This paper uses policy maker4. 0 software to further analyze the interests of various interest groups, power and the degree of influence by the policy of hospital information disclosure. The results showed that interest groups involved in hospital information disclosure in the Unit-ed States can be mainly divided into five categories:consumers, employers, health insurance companies, hospitals, and decision makers ( government) . In order to balance the cost-effectiveness of various insurance schemes, health insurance companies choose high-quality service providers to restrict poor-service providers and insurers, and hospi-tals need to use public information to manage and improve health care. In order to monitor and improve the quality of medical services, employers need to weigh various insurance plans, health insurance companies have to measure the service quality of themselves and competitors, and hospitals need to manage and improve the medical quality and in-crease market share. As the largest stake in the hospital information disclosure, the results show that the consumer's position on the hospital information disclosure is low support. From the consumer as a main, although the hospital in-formation disclosure practices but the right to speak and other small powers have a limited participation.
