China’s new policy for healthcare cost-control based on global budget: a survey of 110 clinicians in hospitals by Jianzhou Yan, Hui-Heng Lin, Dan Zhao, Yuanjia Hu, Rong Shao

“…Results There were three main findings. (1) The cost-control policy has been widely implemented in the sampled hospitals in different regions of China, with more than 80% of those surveyed acknowledging that their hospitals take actions of reducing average prescription fees for outpatients, drug costs, and in-hospitalization durations. (2) Most doctors have a negative view of some cost-control actions; this is mainly due to concerns about the effects of these actions on the doctors’ own healthcare performance and patient satisfaction. (3) Cost-control actions that had a significant impact on doctors’ performance included limiting average prescription fees for outpatients and limiting the use of examinations/drugs/surgeries. Decreased patient satisfaction was associated with fewer admissions of critically ill patients, reduced use of brand-name drugs, and increased total costs to patients due to increased frequencies of visits to the hospitals. …”
