Abstract:
Objective To investigate the structural changes and influencing factors of the average inpatient cost per admis-sion in public hospitals in Guangdong Province.Methods Grey relational analysis and structural variation degree analysis were used to analyze the correlation and changes between the average inpatient cost per admission and various cost components in public hospitals of Guangdong Province from 2017 to 2023.Results The average inpatient cost per admission in public hospitals of Guangdong Province showed an overall upward trend from 2017 to 2023,with an average annual growth rate of 3.84％.Among the components,laboratory test fees and examination fees grew at average annual rates of 6.17％and 6.68％,respectively.The top four cost components with the highest grey relational degree with the average inpatient cost were laboratory test fees(0.867),exam-ination fees(0.835),nursing fees(0.784),and treatment fees(0.728).The top four components with the largest structural vari-ation values were surgery fees(2.57％),medical material fees(1.77％),laboratory test fees(1.56％),and examination fees(1.45％).Conclusion The growth of the average inpatient cost per admission has slowed,and the cost structure has been opti-mized to some extent.However,the relatively rapid increase in laboratory test and examination fees has a significant impact on the cost structure.It is necessary to deepen the coordinated governance of healthcare,medical insurance,and medicine,strengthen the leveraging role of medical insurance payment,improve the external governance system and scientific compensation mechanism,and combine these with refined hospital management to promote reasonable cost control and high-quality development in public hospitals.
