Abstract:
Objective To describe and evaluate the strategies,status quo,effect and problems of pharmaceutical pricing reform in 4 batches of urban public hospitals in China.Methods Chinese database and website of Commission of Health and Family Planning were searched.Bibliometrics was done.Results A total of 33 studies were included by screening and reading the abstracts.Among them,4 were masters' theses,and 29 were research articles and reviews.Generally quantitative researches with strong study designs accounted for only a small proportion.Most of the local reforms achieved basic targets,such as cancelling medicine addition,increasing medical service price,improving hospital internal operating efficiency and controlling medical price,however problems still existed including incomplete adjustment for medical services prices and unmet needs of differentiated compensation plans.Conclusion The prices of medical services should make further adjustment.Efforts should still be made in terms of establishing dynamic compensation mechanism for urban public hospitals,coordinating the policy decision-making process for more integrated measurements including reforms on payment models and logistic process.
