ABSTRACT
Under the diagnosis-related groups(DRG) prospective payment system, innovative health technologies with high costs and risks may be limited to some extent. How to balance the increase of health care cost and the development of innovative health technology is a difficult problem to be solved in the current reform. By studying the relatively mature payment systems of innovative health technologies in the world, the authors found that countries generally adopted additional payment or compensation to encourage the development of new technologies. But at the same time, a relatively perfect health technology assessment and payment management mechanism had been established to ensure the standardized operation of payment plan. These international advanced experience and practice could provide references for China′s innovative health technology payment strategy under the DRG payment system. It is suggested to establish a scientific and reasonable assessment mechanism of innovative health technology, create a special access channel for innovative health technology with limited short-term evidence, and gradually form a long-term incentive mechanism of innovative health technology in DRG payment system.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To learn about the current medical security level of hospitalization expenses for rural children in Xiantao City, Hubei Province through the analysis of the inpatient service demand and the actual medical insurance compensation level. Methods:Access to hospitalization information for children through institutional survey;Focus group interview;Using Excel 2010 and SPSS19. 0 software to analyze data. Results:The hospitalization rate for children aged 0~4 reaches 25. 5%. Their actual inpatient reimbursement rate, which is only 44. 7%, is lower than the total population. The proportion of the expenditures out of the reimbursement directory is almost equal between the children and total population. Conclusion:This paper suggests to reduce the deductibles and increase the reimbursement rate of children's medical securi-ty, improve the settlement on ecdemic medical care, and increase the investment of pediatric medical resources.
