Abstract:
Measures have been taken by the hospital to control drug expense proportion and consumables expense proportion, in addition to such actions as ceiling pricing for individual diseases, clinical pathways and better incentive mechanisms. All these measures help to curb unreasonable growth of medical expenses, and ease patients' burden. The study proves that the goal of expense control set in the healthcare reform can be achieved by setting multiple control indexes, strengthening pharmaceutical affairs management, normalizing procedure of consumables circulation, reforming the compensation incentive mechanism, giving the best play of cost control role of medical insurance, and introducing new technologies or programs.
