Literature analysis on the impact of implementing the diagnosis-related groups prospective payment system on the quality of medical services / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective:To analyze the effect of diagnosis-related groups prospective payment system(DRG-PPS) on medical service quality.Methods:Literature on DRG-PPS impact on medical service quality was searched in Chinese and English databases, and inclusion and exclusion criteria were formulated. Meta analysis was performed on the average length of stay, mortality and readmission rate, and the results of other indicators were described and integrated.Results:A total of 33 articles were included for analysis. Meta analysis showed that the implementation of DRG-PPS could shorten the average length of stay, WMD=-0.67(95% CI: -0.91 to-0.43); the implementation of DRG-PPS had no significant impact on the readmission rate( OR=0.97, 95% CI: 0.87-1.08); the implementation of DRG-PPS did not have a significant impact on the death rate of patients( OR=0.98, 95% CI: 0.93-1.03). The results of narrative integration showed that DRG-PPS had no significant effect on the incidence of complications, patient satisfaction, quality of life, service and operation process indicators. Conclusions:DRG-PPS can shorten the average length of stay, but has no significant effect on mortality and readmission rate.
