ABSTRACT
The hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system is an important measure for rational allocation of medical resources, promotion of equalization of basic medical services, improving the patients' disorderly medical treatment and guiding patients' hospital choice behavior. This paper defines the utility function of rational medical treatment of patients affected by multiple factors such as the personal disposable income,the age,the severity of the self-induced illness and the decision-makers' education level, and considered the outpatient price, service capacity and other factors of medical institutions. The present study constructed the incomplete information dynamic game model based on fictitious play method. It provided the quantitative analysis of the statistical data of Qinhuangdao and obtained the patients distribution in medical institution. The rationality of the model was verified by comparing the simulation with actual data,and showed the choice is more reasonable between the primary health care and general hospital. Therefore,the emphasis of optimizing the medical service resources in hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system is to establish the treatment system of integrated medical service for patients'on-demand and on-demand medi-cal services. At the same,various incentives should be used to enhance patients'enthusiasm for primary health care.
ABSTRACT
The paper analyzed the decision-making process of the doctor's treatment and patient's decision-making. Then established the evolutionary game model of patient's and the secondary-tertiary hospital doctor's strate-gy. The Matlab simulation software were used to analyze the influencing factors of patient-doctor strategy-making sys-tem. We proposed the advice reducing critical patient's utility loss diagnosed in secondary hospital,improving medi-cal experience of common patient in secondary hospital,strengthening disease prevention of critical patient,and pro-moting labor division and cooperation between secondary and tertiary hospital to make result develop towards reduction the disorderly,chaotic and dislocated medical need and an integrated secondary and tertiary system.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Population based epidemiologic study on the main diseases and birth status of liveborn neonates remains scarce in China, especially in rural areas where a large number of neonates are born. The aim of this study was to establish an epidemiological basis of live births in Julu County, a representative of the northern and mid-western parts of China in terms of demography, disease pattern and women and children's health care infrastructure.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The perinatal data of all live births were prospectively collected in three participating county-level hospitals from September 1, 2007 to August 30, 2008.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were 5822 live births in these hospitals. Among all live births, 53.7% were male and 4.5% were born prematurely. Mean (SD) birth weight (BW) was (3348 ± 503) g. The low (< 2500 g) and very low BW (< 1500 g) infants accounted for 3.8% and 0.5% of the total births, with 6.5% as small for gestational age and 2.8% as multi-births. Cesarean section rate was 30.2%, of which 68.6% were elective. There were 745 infants (12.8% of the live births) admitted to local neonatal wards within 7 days of postnatal life, in which 48.3% and 19.3% were due to perinatal asphyxia and prematurity, respectively. The incidences of perinatal aspiration syndrome, transient tachypnea and respiratory distress syndrome were 4.9%, 0.6% and 0.5%, respectively. Neonatal mortality was 7.6‰ (44/5822), with 16 in delivery room and 28 in neonatal ward before discharge.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>This study provided a population-based perinatal data of live births and neonatal mortality in a northern China county with limited resources. Neonatal disorders related to perinatal asphyxia remain a serious clinical problem, which calls for sustained education of advanced neonatal resuscitation and improvement in the quality of perinatal-neonatal care.</p>
