Objective

To evaluate the marginal effects of inputs on hospital outputs and the impacts of Integrated County Medical Community on hospital efficiency.

Methods

A stochastic frontier model was employed to estimate the production frontier and efficiency of each hospital, and a difference-in-difference method was utilized to identify the net effect of Integrated County Medical Community on hospital efficiency, including a heterogeneity analysis of this effect.

Results

Our findings revealed that, in contrast to investments in fixed assets and equipment, hospital output exhibited a heightened elasticity in response to investments in beds, practicing physicians, and registered nurses. From 2016 to 2022, hospitals in Sichuan Province demonstrated an augmented level of efficiency, with a more conspicuous improvement observed subsequent to the initiation of Integrated County Medical Community. The net positive effect of this policy on hospital efficiency in was approximately 1.17 percentage points (P<0.001), where for-profit hospitals exhibited a greater sensitivity to this effect (P<0.05).

Conclusion

The Integrated County Medical Community pilot in Sichuan Province significantly improved the overall efficiency of hospitals, with a notably greater improvement observed in for-profit hospitals.
