Tóm tắt:
Strengthening and innovating the healthcare provider payment is being an important solution to improve operational
and financial efficiency and the quality of health service delivery at the primary health care (PHC) level. This study
applied cost analysis to measure the unit cost in the determination of base rate for the capitation payment method by
combining the top - down and bottom - up calculations along with step-by-step cost allocation. All costs include full
components as prescribed by the government. Results showed that the base rate of health facilities was higher than the
average cost of current health insurance paid by fee-for-services method. In addition, the district hospital illustrated the
highest difference when comparing the capitation fund to outpatient visits cost based on cost analysis with a reduction
of 79.9%. Most of the Commune Health Centers (CHCs) received the capitation fund that was higher than outpatient
visits cost in 2018, exception for CHC at Quy Hoa. The research provides scientific evidence to help policy makers
design and develop the system of capitation payment method at the PHC level based on the cost analysis approach.
