摘要

信息供给和消费者选择如何影响分配不当和定量配给的市场效率?我们研究了基于手机的门诊预约应用程序的引入,该应用程序提供实时医院信息,并简化了中国公立医院市场的预约。我们发现这款应用可以显著改善医疗服务的可及性,以及患者和医疗服务提供者之间的匹配,这是通过促进患者根据医疗需求在不同医院之间进行分类来实现的。病情较轻的患者被引导到初级保健提供者那里,而急性护理医院能够更好地为病情严重的患者提供服务。我们还观察到患者健康状况的改善和医疗支出的减少。我们的研究结果强调了轻量级医疗保健IT创新在提高医疗资源利用和患者福利方面的力量。

The Effect of Information and Streamline Appointments on Patient Sorting and Hospital Efficiency

How do information provision and consumer choices affect market efficiency in a market with misallocation and rationing? We investigate the introduction of a mobile-phone-based outpatient appointment app that provides real-time hospital information and streamlines appointment booking in China's public hospital market. We find the app can significantly improve healthcare access and the matching between patients and providers, achieved through facilitating patient sorting over time and across hospitals based on medical needs. Patients with mild conditions are directed to primary-care providers, while acute-care hospitals are better able to serve patients with severe conditions. We also observe improved patient health outcomes and reduced medical spending. Our findings underscore the power of lightweight healthcare IT innovations in enhancing medical resource utilization and patient welfare.
