ABSTRACT: Objective: Investigation of the impact of the reform of urban
public hospitals in cancelling drug price addition on public hospitals’
operations and patient personal burdens, providing data support for the comprehensive
reform of urban public hospitals. Methods: Using Excel 2007, the overall
operation of the hospital, the workload of medical staff in the internal and
external departments, the proportion of medicines, and the burden of medicines
for patients were analyzed before and after the cancellation of drug sales in a
public hospital. Results: The cancellation of drug price additions had
little effect on the outpatient visits of the hospital, and had a greater
impact on the hospital’s income structure and patient’s consumption structure. Conclusion: Simply relying on the cancellation of drug price addition cannot effectively
adjust the structural contradiction of medical service prices in the reform of
public hospitals in the urban areas. The
transformation of medical institutions from “drug dependent doctors” to
“doctors dependent doctors” requires the strengthening of hospital internal
management, so that supporting medicine price reforms will ultimately improve
the overall quality and efficiency of the hospital.
