Analysis of Provider Payment Reforms on Advancing China’s Health (APPROACH): An Evaluation of County Hospitals
Thursday 15 October,
07:30am-08:30am (EST)
This seminar will present the results of the recently completed randomized impact evaluation of a provider payment project carried out in county hospitals in the rural areas of Guizhou province in China.
This project switched the local rural health insurance – the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NCMS) – from fee-for-service payments for county hospitals to a global budget scheme in order to incentivize hospitals to act as gatekeepers, minimize out-of-county (OOC) referrals and reduce unnecessary expenditures for county hospital-based treatment.
Additional information will follow shortly. |
