ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze family clustering of inpatient service utilization in rural areas of Hubei Province.Method Inpatient service information of all families in rural areas of sample counties was obtained on the basis of New Cooperative Medical System (NCMS) inpatient database;Lorentz curve was drawn by area graph and scatter diagram of Excel 2010,so was Gini coefficient;descriptive statistic,variance analysis and so on were carried by IBM SPSS Statistic 20.0.Result 3％ family takes up 19％ inpatient service,and rural family's Gini coefficient of inpatient service utilization is 0.366;high inpatient service utilization family(HIUF) uses less outpatient service(29.2±26.9) than middle inpatient service utilization family (31.7±23.5).Inpatient member of HIUF used more inpatient service than other families,except the low inpatient service utilization member(NHH9.2＞NMH4,NHM2.4＞NMM2.2＞NLM1.7);HIUF use least time to reach county hospital(tH44.3＜tM44.9＜tL45.2),have more inpatient members than others (NM＞4.5＞NH4.4＞NL3.9).Conclusion Great family clustering of inpatient service utilization exists in rural area,and irrationality exists in some way;more outpatient service utilization may reduce inpatient service utilization.
