Objective To assess the impact of DRG-based payment on inpatient costs for a single disease in a tertiary traditional Chinese medicine hospital.Methods This study focused on the inpatient information of patients with the DRG group FM19(percutaneous coronary artery stenting)in the cardiology department of a tertiary traditional Chinese medicine hospital from January 2020 to December 2021.We utilized Stata 15 statistical software and applied interrupted time series models and differ-ence-in-differences methods to evaluate the cost changes before and after DRG-based payment.Results After the implementa-tion of DRG-based payment,the annual average total cost for the FM19 group decreased by 26 503.62 yuan(P<0.001),and the annual average cost of consumables decreased by 23 937.32 yuan(P<0.001).The overall costs of traditional Chinese medi-cine and herbal treatments in the FM19 group significantly decreased(P<0.05).For patients with angina,total costs,consum-able costs,and medication costs showed an overall decreasing trend;however,for patients with myocardial infarction,the reduc-tion in medication costs was not significant,while total costs and consumable costs decreased significantly.Conclusion The im-plementation of DRG-based payment for this disease type has shown significant cost control effects,with a notable decrease in the costs of traditional Chinese medicine treatments.Tertiary traditional Chinese medicine hospitals should proactively prepare to re-spond to and adapt to payment reforms.

Objective To analyze the medical services by Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)and provide references for TCM hospitals to promote Internet-based medical services.Methods The data of Internet-based diagnosis and treatment,including registration,service volume,patient-doctor information,and payment items were collected from the Bei-jing Hospital of TCM from January 1,2022,to February 2023 for descriptive analysis.Results The cases of online video diag-nosis and treatment totaled 44 186,while graphic and textual consultations reached 3 231 times/person,with the registration can-cellation rates of 28.3%and 13.0%,respectively.In video diagnosis and treatment,doctors holding the professional title of As-sociate Senior Doctor or higher accounted for 66%of the total number of doctors providing online services,and they completed 75.4%of the total service volume.The service volume in the fields of psychology,dermatology,oncology,gastroenterology,re-spiratory,pediatrics,gynecology,and nephrology was higher.The number of patients taking Chinese herbal medicine was signifi-cantly higher than those taking western medicine and traditional Chinese patent medicines.Conclusion Online diagnosis and treatment partially meets patients'online medical needs but lacks TCM characteristics and integration with offline services.Therefore,more online TCM hospitals should be developed by strengthening popularization and education,optimizing functions and services,applying data in-depth,and developing high-quality online specialized clinics.
