Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the status and willingness of information disclosure based on social supervision in tertiary and secondary public hospitals, so as to provide reference for expanding information disclosure content.Methods:By using stratified cluster random sampling method, 66 tertiary public hospitals and 126 secondary public hospitals in 6 provinces were selected for questionnaire survey in April 2021. Thirty-one indicators in 3 categories and 5 groups were selected to obtain the information disclosure status and willingness. Chi-square test, variance analysis and paired t-test were used to conduct difference analysis. Results:The indicators with higher disclosure rates in public hospitals were drug prices and medical service price adjustments (93.9% in tertiary hospitals and 92.1% in secondary hospitals) and medical insurance reimbursement policies and compensation processes (90.9% in tertiary hospitals and 86.5% in secondary hospitals), while the indicators with lower disclosure rates were case fatality rates in low-risk groups (24.2% in tertiary hospitals and 26.2% in secondary hospitals), proportion of special needs medical services (27.3% in tertiary hospitals), and average daily outpatient visits per practitioner (27.3% in tertiary hospitals and 26.2% in secondary hospitals). The indicators that public hospitals thought could be disclosed at a higher rate were drug and medical service price adjustments, medical insurance reimbursement policies and compensation processes, and prices and medical insurance reimbursement of commonly used drugs and major medical consumables, while the indicators that were thought to be disclosed at a lower rate were some medical service safety indicators and hospital financial indicators.For all indicators, the percentage that the hospitals thought could be disclosed was higher than the percentage that had been disclosed.Conclusions:At present, China′s secondary and tertiary public hospitals have a low rate of disclosure about medical service efficiency, medical service safety, statistical summary cost and financial indicators. However, except for some medical service indicators and financial related indicators, the hospitals′ information disclosure willingness is relatively high, and the scope of information disclosure can be expanded in an orderly manner in steps.
