Study on the impact of DRG and consumables zero-margin reform on hospitalization costs - -Take a grade A ophthalmology hospital in Zhejiang Province as an example

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of DRG (diagnosis-related group) and consumables reform on hospitalization costs. As a new payment method, DRG promotes the effective allocation of resources and reduces unnecessary expenses by classifying
the disease types of patients and reasonably determining the cost of medical services. At the same time, the zero-margin reform of consumables aims to eliminate the price difference in the procurement and use process of medical consumables, and further reduce the economic burden of patients. In this study, taking a grade A ophthalmic hospital in Zhejiang Province as an example, the hospitalization expenses before
and after the implementation of DRG and consumables zero margin policy were analyzed, and found that after the implementation of the reform, the hospitalization cost was significantly reduced, the economic burden of patients was reduced, and the resource allocation efficiency
of the hospital was improved. Finally, this paper suggests that when promoting DRG and consumables zero-margin reform, hospitals should
strengthen the management and monitoring of medical services to ensure that the quality of medical services is not affected, while achieving
reasonable control of costs.
