BACKGROUND:Research on whether Internet use is related to older adults' health service use is limited. Hence, this study aimed to empirically examine the associations between Internet use and the different types of healthcare utilization among Chinese older adults and whether there were urban or rural differences. METHODS:This study used large-scale nationwide data for Chinese older adults from the 2018 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS). The main explanatory variables were general Internet use and different types of Internet usage, including usage for communication, entertainment, and as instruments. The outcome measures included outpatient and inpatient care utilization, specifically examining the choice of health providers after an illness, the rate of outpatient care utilization after an illness, hospital admission, and the number of hospital admissions in the past two years. Logistic regression, zero-inflated negative binomial regression, and multinomial logistic regression were conducted to assess the associations between Internet use and healthcare utilization. Given the potential urban-rural disparities in Internet use, we applied an interaction term between Internet use and urban-rural status in each model to examine its moderating effects. The potential bias was addressed using the propensity score matching (PSM) method. RESULTS:Compared with older adults who did not use the Internet, Internet users had a lower probability of hospital admission in the past two years (OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.55-0.72), fewer hospital admissions (IRR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.69-0.93), and a higher probability of choosing outpatient care in hospitals after an illness (RRR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.01-1.47). Using the Internet for communication showed the strongest association with healthcare utilization among different types of Internet use. The urban/rural interaction term was negatively associated with outpatient care utilization but positively associated with inpatient care utilization. CONCLUSIONS:This study highlights the important role of the Internet in shaping healthcare utilization, particularly in addressing urban-rural disparities. Implementing Internet-based interventions among older adults is recommended to reduce disparities and improve healthcare access.
Family physician contract service (FPCS) was introduced by the Chinese government in 2016, which entailed the registration of individual patients with a designated family physician in primary healthcare facilities. To assess the yet-to-be realized impacts of incentives for family physicians on the performance of the FPCS policy in China, a qualitative semistructured interview was conducted in 2019 with 36 participants, including directors of local health commissions, leaders of primary healthcare facilities, family physicians, and nurses in eight community health centers in four cities deemed to have advanced and effectively implemented FPCS policies. The data analysis was guided by the framework method, which indicated the necessity of implementing a patient-based capitation system for FPCS and augmenting its financial allocation. The analysis further reveals a divergence in how incentives are perceived based on professional seniority: nonsenior physicians view financial incentives as a matter of livelihood and fairness, while senior physicians approach them strategically, weighing them against other professional activities. The independent distribution method was found to have the potential to enhance the motivation of family physicians in their work. A financing model that relies on health insurance payments may give rise to adverse selection concerns, as it could encourage the selection of healthier patients when making contracts. This issue can be effectively addressed through an innovative modification of the distribution method, whereby higher contract fees are assigned to individuals with more serious medical conditions. The implementation of nonfinancial incentives, including increased authority delegation, closer work relationships, and sufficient self-identification, has the potential to enhance the performance of the FPCS program. Consequently, it remains important to augment family physicians' income and enhance their sense of self-fulfillment in the implementation of the FPCS policy in China.
Objective From the perspective of two main tasks of constructing China’s medical quality management system and a new system of high-quality development of public hospitals, this paper studied the mechanism of national medical quality control center in the two systems, aiming to serve the efficient allocation of medical quality management resources. Methods The mechanism design theory was used to analyze the functional mechanism of national quality control center in the construction of those two systems, as well as the collaboration mechanism between national quality control center and other quality control organizations. Results The establishment of national quality control center is an institutional arrangement of medical quality management with Chinese characteristics, which meets the participatory constraints and incentive compatibility constraints from the perspective of mechanism design theory, and is an effective institutional arrangement.

BackgroundVaccination has been considered one of the most effective public health interventions. In the context of the global epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it remains unclear what role general vaccination attitudes and perceptions have on the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine.ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the impact of general attitudes and perceptions toward vaccination on the acceptance of a newly developed vaccine, taking COVID-19 vaccines as an example.MethodA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2,013 Chinese adult participants. Generalized order logistic regression and path analysis models were used to analyze impacts of general attitudes and perceptions toward vaccination on the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine.ResultsThe prevalence of hesitancy to vaccination in general is 49.9% among the Chinese adult population. General perceptions of vaccination were associated with corresponding perceptions of the COVID-19 vaccine. A “no hesitancy” attitude toward vaccination is a significant determinant (aOR = 1.77, 95% CI = 1.36–2.31) of future COVID-19 vaccination compared to vaccine refusers, and perceptions of COVID-19 vaccine remain a significant determinant for the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine. Path analysis indicates that perceptions of the importance and safety of vaccination have a positive overall effect on the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine, and that general perceptions of vaccination as a whole on each measure indirectly influence the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine.ConclusionGeneral attitudes and perceptions toward vaccination were associated with those of the COVID-19 vaccine and future vaccination intention. To prepare for possible emergence of diseases in the future, routine health campaigns should be launched by relevant government departments and vaccination authorities to enhance the overall awareness and knowledge of vaccination among the public and to ensure optimal vaccination experience. In addition, targeted knowledge dissemination and mass mobilizations should be urged for newly developed vaccines when some specific infectious diseases emerge, such as COVID-19 at present.

目的:分析家庭医生签约对于社区居民自付医疗费用的影响,探讨签约对缓解居民医疗费用负担的成效.方法:2019年7—9月在厦门、杭州、上海、北京分别选择两个社区卫生服务中心所在街道的居民,根据调研时最新的家庭医生签约率,采用多阶段整群随机抽样的方法获取样本1508人.医疗费用以基层医疗卫生机构次均就诊费用、次均住院费用以及年医疗总费用(均为自付)为指标,采用两部模型分析家庭医生签约对医疗费用的影响.结果:签约家庭医生的社区居民相较于未签约居民医疗服务利用率(尤其是基层医疗机构服务利用率)显著提高,但是没有显著影响次均就诊费用和年医疗总费用;降低了住院服务利用率,并且次均住院费用减少了673元.结论:家庭医生可以促使基层首诊、分级诊疗格局的形成,但是其作为医疗费用守门人的职责还需进一步加强.这需要进一步提升基层医疗机构和家庭医生服务能力,加强团队间的协作,完善与上级医疗机构或者专科医生的合作机制,突出医疗保险的杠杆作用.
合理的家庭医生执业规模是保障签约群体获取基本医疗保障、提高医疗服务利用效率的有效方式.基于2019年在厦门、杭州、上海以及北京等地对在岗和可远程参与诊疗的420名家庭医生的调查发现:家庭医生执业规模上升,则其每日接诊人数、签约居民就诊次数占总门诊比例、月接诊患者总费用和接诊患者次均费用呈增加趋势,但平均接诊时间在减少;相同执业规模对于不同机构的家庭医生诊疗行为以及接诊患者的医疗费用的影响也有差异.所以,家庭医生执业规模应设计在一个相对合理的区间,从而保证生产率和服务质量的平衡.另外,家庭医生的执业规模应该与医疗保险补偿相联系,以减轻患者疾病经济负担,提高基本医疗保障水平.
