The difference in difference ( DID) method was used for the data analysis. The assessing indicators included the number of DRG group, case mix index ( CMI) , the total weight, cost efficiency index and time efficiency index. Results:After the establishment of medical association, compared with the average level of the same grade local hospitals, in the third-tier general hospitals of medical alliance, the growth rate of the total weight had declined, and cost efficiency index had increased, while in the second-tier general hospitals of medical alliance, the CMI value had de-clined, and the cost efficiency index had increased. Conclusion:Contractual medical association played a role of triage patients, and improved the service levels and management efficiency of the second-tier general hospitals.关键词
