Quantitative Analysis of China's Public Hospital Liability Governance Policies from the Perspective of Policy Tools
Objective:To explore the scientificity of the public hospital liability policy governance from the perspective of policy tools,and to provide evidence for the optimization and adjustment of subsequent policies.Methods:Policy texts at the national and regional levels from 2009-2022 were selected,and the coding results were statistically analyzed using Excel 2019 based on Rothwell and Zegveld's classification of policy tools.Results:A total of 128 policy texts were included in the analysis,with 29.96%,34.16%,and 35.88%of the policy tools in the policy instrument dimension being demand-based,supply-based,and environment-based,respectively.The system mechanism dimension focused primarily on compensation mechanisms.Conclusion:The use of the three policy instruments is mainly dominated by environmental policies,with a relative lack of policies from demand side.It is recommended that the use of policies from demand side could be strengthened and the internal structure of policy tools be optimized,to improve the consistency and coupling of policies.
