Abstract:To analyze the changes in healthcare quality evaluation indicators for hospitalized tuberculosis patients under the diagnosis-related group (DRG) payment system, a retrospective analysis was conducted using an interrupted time series regression model. The results showed that after DRG implementation, the total hospitalization costs (β2=-5839.76,P<0.01), per capita daily hospitalization costs (β3=-34.21,P=0.02), medication costs (β2=-2866.98,P<0.01), number of medication varieties (β2=-6.19,P<0.01), and length of hospital stay(β2=-6.11,P<0.01) significantly decreased. The intervention effect of DRG was particularly notable in drug-resistant tuberculosis patients, with significant improvements in healthcare resource utilization, medical service efficiency, and healthcare quality indicators (P<0.05). The DRG payment model has driven medical institutions to transform their service delivery models and alleviated the financial burden on patients.
