Abstract:Objective To explore the impact of diagnosis related group (DRG) payment reform on medical behavior of doctors. Methods In this study, 84 valid questionnaires were selected from the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Bao′an District, Shenzhen from June 2020 to May 2021, and analyzed and studied from three dimensions: the cognition of doctors of DRG payment mode, the impact of DRG payment reform on doctors′ behavior and the impact of DRG payment on the quality of health services. Results The results showed that 88.1% of doctors said they were generally aware of or very familiar with the reform of DRG payment methods, and 61.9% of doctors said they supported the reform of DRG payment methods. The majority of doctors believed that the most prominent advantage of DRG payment was to regulate the behavior of diagnosis and treatment (70.2%) and to promote graded diagnosis and treatment (69.0%), while the biggest disadvantage was that the autonomy of doctors was too limited (72.6%). The results showed that 48.8% of doctors believed that DRG payments had a significant impact on medical behavior; 83.3% of the doctors thought that the implementation of DRG payment method would not affect the conditions of patients admitted; 84.5% of doctors believed that there was an increase in concern about medical costs after the implementation of DRG payment; 90.5% of doctors believed that the implementation of DRG payment would not affect the number of outpatient visits. 70.2%,83.3% and 63.1% of the doctors thought that the rate of patient readmission rate, the incidence of complications and the average hospitalization cost per time were not affected by the reform of DRG payment method, respectively. The results showed that 70.2%, 83.3% and 63.1% doctors thought that the rate of patient readmission, complication rate and average hospitalization cost per time were not affected by the reform of DRG payment method. Conclusion By studying the relationship between DRG payment system and medical behavior, the medical behaviors of medical staff can be further standardized, it also provides decision support for hospitals to carry out DRG pilot, and promotes the further improvement of DRG payment reform.
