To examine the evolution of surgical techniques and trends in overall inpatient burden for pediatric adenoidectomy in Beijing tertiary hospitals from 2013 to 2022. A retrospective observational study was conducted using the regional health information platform of Beijing. Data from children aged ≤14 years who underwent adenoidectomy between 2013 and 2022 were extracted, including total hospitalization cost, length of stay(LOS), surgical material cost, surgical fee, operative technique, perioperative antimicrobial drugs cost, coagulation factor cost, and blood transfusion cost. The Mann-Kendall trend test was used to assess temporal changes in total hospitalization expenses and the structure of cost components. The results showed that over the 10-year period from 2013 to 2022, a total of 25 989 children underwent adenoidectomy in tertiary hospitals. The proportion of children aged ≤6 years increased from 59.83% to 76.11%, showing a significant upward trend ( Z=2.15, P=0.032). Only one case required surgical hemostasis due to postoperative bleeding. During the ten-year period, the median hospitalization cost for adenoidectomy in tertiary hospitals was ¥12 425.82 (¥11 307.43, ¥14 955.42).Overall hospitalization cost demonstrated a fluctuating downward pattern, decreasing from ¥15 229.73 in 2013 to ¥13 927.52 in 2022, this declining trend was not statistically significant( Z=-0.54, P=0.592). In contrast, the surgical costs showed an upward trend over the decade increasing from ¥1 856.22 in 2013 to ¥3 726.45 in 2022, which was statistically significant ( Z=3.22, P=0.001), while the cost of surgical materials showed no significant increase ( Z=1.79, P=0.074).Concurrently, the average LOS decreased remarkably from 10.56 days in 2013 to 3.26 days in 2022 ( Z=-3.94, P<0.001). The cost of perioperative antimicrobial drugs decreased ( Z=-3.94, P<0.001), while the cost of coagulation factors and blood transfusion remained unchanged ( Z=0.54, P=0.592; Z=0.56, P=0.578). Comparison between 2013-2017 and 2018-2022 showed a significant increase in the use of coblation from 28.9% to 42.5% ( χ2=638.7, P<0.001).Furthermore, in the coblation group, total hospitalization cost decreased by 27.73%, surgical cost increased by 94.98%, surgical material cost decreased by 10.33%, LOS shortened by 56.24%, and antimicrobial drug cost increased by 43.03%. In contrast, the non-coblation group showed a 23.94% increase in total hospitalization cost, a 57.08% increase in surgical procedure cost, a 33.88% increase in material cost, and a 30.14% reduction in LOS and a 26.0% decrease in antimicrobial drugs cost. In conclusion,from 2013 to 2022, total hospitalization cost for pediatric adenoidectomy in Beijing tertiary hospitals remained stable. Compared to non-coblation techniques, coblation was associated with a shorter LOS, lower total costs, a higher proportion of surgical fees, and a decreased proportion of material costs, without a significant increase in overall healthcare costs.

As an important part of China′s multi-level medical insurance system, commercial health insurance has developed rapidly in recent years, but its guarantee level is still limited, and its role in the multi-level medical insurance system is not fully played. Huimin Insurance, as a new public private partnership health insurance, takes into account the dual characteristics of commercial operation and inclusive protection, and provides an important supplement to meet the needs of the masses for multi-level protection, alleviate the economic burden of serious diseases, and promote the innovation and development of the pharmaceutical industry. The author systematically analyzed the characteristics of social and commercial integration in the development of Huimin Insurance in China from the aspects of value-oriented mechanism, policy complementary mechanism and operation support mechanism, and analyzed the problems of in the current development process of Huimin Insurance based on the holistic governance framework of multi-level medical security system in three dimensions of " hierarchy-institutional-tool". It is suggested that the functional positioning of multiple subjects should be clarified, the ability of information integration should be enhanced, and the product design and serviceshould be optimized, so as to fully enlarge the supplementary security efficiency of Huimin Insurance, and explore a new path for the formation of a multi-level medical insurance system with Chinese characteristics.

Objective:To analyze the health development plans of the provinces in China during the " 14th Five-Year Plan" , and explore the key tasks, similarities and differences of health informatization construction in each province.Methods:Using the website of local people′s government and the official website of the provincial Health Commission, 27 copies of health development plans of various provinces during the " 14th Five-Year Plan" period were retrieved and collected from February 16 to June 5, 2022. The relevant statements of health information in the plan were extracted, content analysis was used to reveal the structural characteristics of the policy in the form of word frequency statistics, and discourse analysis was used to study the policy content.Results:The health information policies of 27 provinces during the " 14th Five-Year Plan" period could be summarized as 10 major themes, such as accelerating the construction of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, promoting the high-quality development of public hospitals, and deepening the reform of medical security system. The health information policy in the eastern, central and western regions was relatively clear, and there were certain differences in the construction points according to their own characteristics.Conclusions:During the " 14th Five-Year Plan" period, the policies of each province around the field of health information are well defined, and the core structure and content are similar. The distribution of key points in the eastern region is relatively balanced; the construction of health information in the central region is more prioritized and prominent; the construction of health information in the western region is focused on complementing the weak links and weaknesses.

Objective:To analyze the filing mechanism for cross provincial immediate reimbursement of medical insurance in China, so as to provide reference for optimizing the filing mechanism and improving the filing accessibility of insured personnel.Methods:Taking the filing policy of cross provincial immediate reimbursement of medical insurance in 2019 as the research object, on the basis of a comprehensive understanding of the national filing policy background, 90 coordinating regions in Zhejiang Province, Hubei Province and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region were taken as survey samples to evaluate the relevant policies and extract key parameters, including filing identification methods, filing-related settlement benefits and filing ways. The parameters were compared and analyzed by using descriptive statistical methods.Results:The results of the survey showed that in terms of identity recognition methods, the provision of various supporting materials(residence permit, work certificate, etc.)was still the main way to carry out identity recognition for medical insured persons in different places.Filing-related reimbursement benefits were mainly adjusted by limiting the area of medical insurance treatment and adjusting the benefits parameters(reimbursement ratio). In terms of filing channels, 51(56.7%)sample co-ordination areas had realized at least one remote filing mode.Conclusions:The inclusiveness of filing identity verification mechanism for the floating population needs to be further improved, the filing-related treatment policies need to be further improved, and the convenience and standardization of filing channels need to be strengthened.
