Since the implementation of the DRG payment reform, although the increase in medical costs has been significantly controlled, and medical treatment has become cheaper, many hospitals are unable to make ends meet.
According to the latest survey, although the DRG payment reform has achieved remarkable results in controlling the growth of medical costs, it has also created new difficulties for doctors and hospitals. While the cost of patient care has decreased, many hospitals have fallen into financial losses. Surprisingly, some doctors even found that they worked hard for a month, but the salary did not change much, but the department had to deduct the money.
Doctors have revealed this embarrassing situation. Under the new DRG payment system, hospitals' revenues are largely dependent on the number and type of cases, and are no longer billed according to the cost of treatment as in the past. While this reform has effectively controlled the growth of medical costs, it has also caused serious financial distress for doctors.
As a whole operating entity, the hospital needs to pay various expenses, such as equipment maintenance, staff salaries, etc. However, under the new payment system, doctors' incomes have not increased accordingly, and they may even be deducted from their salaries due to the department's losses. This makes a lot of doctors feel frustrated and helpless.
In response to this question, experts said that the DRG payment system does have advantages in controlling medical costs, but it also needs to consider the overall economic situation of individual doctors and hospitals. They suggested further improving the payment system to ensure that doctors are reasonably rewarded for their efforts, and at the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the financial situation of the hospital to avoid excessive losses.
Overall, while the DRG fee reform has been effective in controlling the growth of medical costs, it has also exposed the dilemma of doctors and hospitals. It is hoped that the relevant departments can pay attention to this problem and find solutions as soon as possible, so that the doctors' hard work can be duly rewarded, and at the same time ensure the sustainable economic development of the hospital. Ensure that the people can see a doctor safely, and the hospital can also continue to develop, so as to build a harmonious and stable social economy.
