摘要

我们研究了放置在印度贫民窟结核病治疗中心的生物识别监控设备的影响。这些设备记录了医护人员的出勤情况和病人就诊情况。结合调查数据、随机中心访问和医院登记，我们发现，在配备生物识别设备的中心，患者中断治疗的可能性降低了 25%，这反映出卫生工作者加大了工作力度，患者也更加坚持日常治疗。该技术还通过减少多报的患者人数和少报的治疗中断次数，提高了公共数据的质量。总之，我们的研究结果表明，对服务提供情况的实时监控可以加强国家为贫困和边缘化人群提供服务的能力。

Biometric Monitoring, Service Delivery and Misreporting: Evidence from Healthcare in India

We examine the impact of biometric monitoring devices placed in tuberculosis treatment centers in Indian slums. The devices record health worker attendance and patient visits. Combining survey data, random center visits, and hospital registers, we find that patients at biometric-equipped centers are 25 percent less likely to interrupt treatment, reflecting increased efforts by health workers and greater daily adherence by patients. The technology also improves the quality of public data by reducing overreported patient numbers and underreported treatment interruptions. Overall, our results suggest that real-time monitoring of service delivery can strengthen the state's capacity to serve poor and marginalized populations.
