Overview

This report evaluates the impact of payment reform on inpatient costs and patient financial burdens in Guangzhou, highlighting unintended consequences.

Key Points

  • The diagnosis-intervention packet reform did not lower inpatient costs, leading to higher patient out-of-pocket expenses.
  • Patients experienced a significant increase in out-of-pocket payments per case post-reform, indicating a greater financial burden.
  • While medication expenditures decreased, diagnostic and therapeutic service costs continued to rise without signs of slowing down.
  • The 30-day readmission rate remained stable, showing no major change due to the reform's implementation.
