Objective:To analyze the changes and structural variations in hospitalization costs for patients with lung malignancies after the implementation of diagnosis-intervention packet (DIP) payment system, and to evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:Data from the first page of medical records and hospitalization cost data from the hospital information system of a tertiary general hospital in Henan Province were extracted for patients diagnosed with lung malignancies from 2020 to 2023. The data were divided into pre-implementation group (2020—2021) and post-implementation group (2022—2023) based on the implementation time of DIP. Chi-square test, t test, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to analyze the differences in basic characteristics and hospitalization costs of patients with lung malignancies before and after the implementation of DIP. Grey relational analysis was employed to examine the internal associations between total hospitalization costs and various cost components. Structural variation analysis was used to assess the changes in the structure of hospitalization costs after the implementation of DIP. Results:A total of 14 587 hospitalized patients with lung malignancies were included, with 6 807 cases in the pre-implementation group and 7 780 cases in the post-implementation group. The average length of hospital stay decreased from (13.17±6.74) days before implementation to (12.02±6.49) days after implementation ( P<0.05). The proportion of level-four surgeries increased from 46.4% to 57.0% ( P<0.05). The average hospitalization cost per patient with lung malignancies decreased from 56 952 yuan before DIP implementation to 55 560 yuan after implementation ( P<0.05). For patients with lung malignancies diagnosed as C34.1, C34.2, C34.3, and C34.8, the top four cost components most strongly associated with total hospitalization costs were treatment costs, material costs, comprehensive medical service costs, and diagnostic costs, with correlation coefficients all>0.80. For patients with C34.9, the top four cost components most strongly associated with total hospitalization costs were treatment costs, comprehensive medical service costs, diagnostic costs, and Western medicine costs, with correlation coefficients>0.95. For patients diagnosed as C34.1, C34.2, C34.3, and C34.9, diagnostic costs, Western medicine costs, and material costs contributed significantly to the structural variation of hospitalization costs, with contribution rate of structure variation all exceeding 75%, among which Western medicine costs and material costs showed negative variation. For patients diagnosed as C34.8, treatment costs, Western medicine costs, and material costs contributed significantly to the structural variation of hospitalization costs, with contribution rate of structure variation all exceeding 80%, among which Western medicine costs showed negative variation. Conclusions:The implementation of DIP reduced the hospitalization costs for patients with lung malignancies, optimized the structure of hospitalization costs, improved the efficiency of medical services, and promoted the rational allocation of medical resources.

Objective:To analyze the changes and structural variations in hospitalization costs for patients with lung malignancies after the implementation of diagnosis-intervention packet (DIP) payment system, and to evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:Data from the first page of medical records and hospitalization cost data from the hospital information system of a tertiary general hospital in Henan Province were extracted for patients diagnosed with lung malignancies from 2020 to 2023. The data were divided into pre-implementation group (2020—2021) and post-implementation group (2022—2023) based on the implementation time of DIP. Chi-square test, t test, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to analyze the differences in basic characteristics and hospitalization costs of patients with lung malignancies before and after the implementation of DIP. Grey relational analysis was employed to examine the internal associations between total hospitalization costs and various cost components. Structural variation analysis was used to assess the changes in the structure of hospitalization costs after the implementation of DIP. Results:A total of 14 587 hospitalized patients with lung malignancies were included, with 6 807 cases in the pre-implementation group and 7 780 cases in the post-implementation group. The average length of hospital stay decreased from (13.17±6.74) days before implementation to (12.02±6.49) days after implementation ( P<0.05). The proportion of level-four surgeries increased from 46.4% to 57.0% ( P<0.05). The average hospitalization cost per patient with lung malignancies decreased from 56 952 yuan before DIP implementation to 55 560 yuan after implementation ( P<0.05). For patients with lung malignancies diagnosed as C34.1, C34.2, C34.3, and C34.8, the top four cost components most strongly associated with total hospitalization costs were treatment costs, material costs, comprehensive medical service costs, and diagnostic costs, with correlation coefficients all>0.80.
