ABSTRACT
With the continuous advancement of the deepening reform of the medical security system, the medical insurance payment method, as an important part of it, has become the focus of the reform. As one of the main types of innovative payment methods, payment for performance combines payment and medical service quality to improve the efficiency of medical and health services and patient satisfaction. In order to accelerate the clinical application of new medical technologies, improve patients′ access to innovative technologies, and reduce the disease economic burden of patients, Shanghai has carried out a pilot reform of paying for performance for three new technologies including Cryoablation in the treatment of cancer, Da Vinic Robotic Surgical System and Plasma MicroRNA Panel detection. Through multiple rounds of expert consultation and on-the-spot investigation, the positive detection rate, complication rate and tumor reduction rate were finally determined as the performance evaluation indicators of the three technologies, and the corresponding payment standards were defined. The pilot reform in Shanghai could provide reference for other regions to carry out performance based payment.
