ABSTRACT
Objectives:
The paper aims to analyze the practice and outcome for the rural doctors’ contracted service in Dafeng and Shengzhou counties.Methods:
The methods used were typical sampling which played in selec-ting Dafeng and Shengzhou counties and interviews conducted with the director of the bureau of health in Dafeng and Shengzhou counties, the dean of the township health centers ( two for each county) and the rural doctors ( four for each county) . We adopted descriptive statistics to analyze the quantitative data and incentives.Results:
The rural clinic and/or township health centers were the main contracted service providers and services were supplied to all in-habitants, especially to the target patients such as those suffering from NCDs. The individual benefit packages were designed to coordinate with local demands and the security and incentive mechanisms were established.Conclusions:
Contracted service brought several benefits such as meeting the individual demands of inhabitants, rural doctors were inspired and the basic rural health system consolidated, the basic public health service quality was improved, and the function was intensified for the primary health institutions. The rural doctors’ contracted service is helpful to advance rural health care reforms, and provides more evidence in setting up the local rural health policies. It still needs fur-ther perfections. SuggestionsThe rural doctors’ team construction should be strengthened and the incentive mecha-nism, summary and evaluation of their contracted service should be improved timely.
