The payment mechanism of care assistance system from the perspective of Risk-embedded Need Spillover Theory:Experience and enlightenment from Germany / 中国卫生政策研究

ABSTRACT

The nursing care assistance system in Germany is an integral part of the overall payment of long-term care insurance,and as the last line of defense of"multiple subjects sharing",its payment mechanism accurately identifies individual overflow nursing care needs and provides differentiated guarantee.This study proposes the"risk-embedded need spillover theory"based on the need spillover theory and applies this theory to analyze how the payment mechanism of care assistance system in Germany provides differentiated guarantee,and found that the payment mechanism classified families'ability and resources from the perspective of risk.In the context of building a care protection system,learning Germany's experience is an effective way to cope with the problem of inadequate care protection in China.
