A Study of Policy Synergy in 71 Pilot Cities of DIP Payment
Objective:To explore the policy synergy of 71 Diagnosis-Intervention Packet(DIP)pilot cities from the perspective of policy synergy at both the national and provincial levels.Methods:Policy evaluation dimensions were constructed by text mining method,and the surface plots of policy consistency were drawn by the Policy Modeling Consistency Index(PMC),and the degree of policy synergy between each city and national policies and with cities in the province were calculated by correlation analysis.Results:Different levels of policy in pilot cities and the policy differences among pilot cities mainly focus on policy disclosure,core elements,and infrastructure,at the central level,most cities maintain a high degree of consistency with the state in terms of policy nature,management measures,infrastructure,and policy evaluation,and the policy timeliness,policy perspective,and core elements still need to be improved;at the provincial level,cities within the 20 provinces show characteristics in low level of complete synergy,high level of close synergy and differentiated partial synergy.Conclusion:The 71 DIP pilot cities have established a preliminary policy system,but there are still more cities with missing policies and a lack of coordination.In the future,efforts should be made to advance the policy development process,promote the improvement of the policy system,and promote coordination among pilot cities in policy implementation.
