Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To evaluate th e effects of comprehensive drug cost control in China ，and to provide reference for further improving the effects of cost control. METHODS Entropy method was used to establish a comprehensive evaluation index system of the comprehensive drug cost control effect from the respective of drug price control ability ，drug cost control ability and patient affordability. The comprehensively evaluate the effects of drug cost control in 31 provinces （autonomous regions and municipalities）during 2016-2020. The k-means cluster method was used to analyze the effects of comprehensive drug cost control in various provinces. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS During the period of 2016-2020，the total score of comprehensive drug cost control effect of 31 provinces were 14.64，16.71，17.58，17.57，17.88，respectively. The results of cluster analysis were similar to the ranking of entropy method. Medical and health system reform policy had entered a stable period after achieving phased results ； the effects of comprehensive drug cost control was characterized by regional steps in 31 provinces；the effects of comprehensive drug cost control were better in developed coastal areas and some provinces and cities of western regions ，followed by provinces and cities in central China ；however，comprehensive drug cost control in 3 provinces of northeast China showed poor effect. The effects of comprehensive drug cost control in pilot cities of comprehensive medical reform were significantly improved. It is suggested that the successful experience of pilot cities of comprehensive medical reform should be promoted nationwide ，and policies such as volume-based drug procurement ，medical insurance drug price negotiation ，and diagnosis-related groups / diagnosis-intervention packet payment method reform should be further deepened.
