新制度经济学视角下我国公立医院规模增长解释框架研究

Study on the Explanatory Framework of Public Hospital Scale Growth in China from the Perspective of New Institutional Economics

新医改以来,我国各级各类公立医院规模迅速增长,衍生出财政负担持续加重、卫生费用过快增长、社会基本医疗保险资金分布严重失衡等一系列问题。囿于对我国公立医院规模内涵和增长根源性动力认知的含混,传统经济学有关对我国公立医院规模增长的解释缺乏说服力。鉴于此,从新的经济学角度揭示我国公立医院规模增长的本质性驱动框架已成为指导我国公立医院下一阶段高质量发展的重大理论问题。采用复杂系统建模法测度了新医改以来我国公立医院规模增长状况;归纳了当代公立医院日渐复杂的制度谱系;借鉴新制度经济学制度自身成本和制度变迁成本的观点,从制度成本分析入手,提出在价格规制的前提下,公立医院通过规模增长补偿制度性成本是最佳策略;最后,围绕新医改以来,公立医院经历的囚徒困境博弈、猎鹿博弈、守规博弈三重情境,探明了我国公立医院规模从单体规模增长到延伸性规模增长、再到协同性规模增长的演进路径。

Since the new medical reform,the scale of public hospitals at all levels and types in China has grown rapidly,resulting in a series of problems such as continued increase in financial burden,excessive growth in health expenses,and serious imbalance in the distribution of social basic medical insurance funds.Due to the ambiguous understanding of the connotation of the scale of China's public hospitals and the underlying driving forces of growth,and the traditional economic explanation of the growth of public hospital scale in China is not convincing.In view of this,revealing the essential driving framework for the scale growth of public hospitals in China from a new economic perspective has become a key theoretical issue to guide the next stage of high-quality development of public hospitals in China.It used the complex system modeling method to measure the growth of China's public hospitals since the new medical reform,and summarized the increasingly complex institutional spectrum of contemporary public hospitals.Drawing on the perspectives of the system's own costs and system change costs in new institutional economics,starting from the analysis of system costs,it is proposed that under the premise of price regulation,it is the best strategy for public hospitals to compensate for institutional costs through scale growth.Finally,based on the three situations of prisoner's dilemma game,deer hunting game,and rule-abiding game experienced by public hospitals since the new health reform,the development path of public hospitals from single scale growth to extended scale growth,and then to collaborative scale growth was summarized.
