Abstract

In this study, the conversion factor for 2020 is estimated based on an outpatient and inpatient conversion factor separation model developed from SGR and AR by using actual medical expense data. In addition, a policy plan is proposed to calculate the values of single and multiple conversion factors for each type of medical expense, and to effectively use the conversion factor separation model as one of the means to establish a medical delivery system. The major results are as follows. First, at r=0.1, the rate of adjustment in the hospital single conversion index in 2020 was 2.0%, and the outpatient and hospitalization conversion rates for hospitals were 2.2% and 2.3%, respectively. In addition, a combination of outpatient and inpatient conversion factors can be used for the adjustment. Second, as a measure to establish a medical delivery system, instead of adjusting the addition rate, a method of interlocking the addition rate and the conversion factor is proposed. Third, it is necessary to develop a model that enables target management of volumes, in addition to the outpatient conversion factor, the inpatient conversion factor, and the adjustment coefficient.

본 연구에서는 SGR 모형과 AR 모형으로 부터 개발된 유형별 외래 및 입원 환산지수 분리 모형을 바탕으로 실제 건강보험 진료비 자료를 사용하여 2020년도 환산지수를 추정하였다. 또한 유형별 환산지수 계약 하에서 병원의 단일 환산지수 조정률과 외래 및 입원으로 분리된 복수의 환산지수 조정률을 산출하였다. 마지막으로 환산지수 분리 모형이 의료전달체계를 확립하기 위한 수단의 하나로 효과적으로 사용되기 위한 정책적 방안을 제안하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, r=0.1에서 2020년도 병원의 단일 환산지수 조정률은 2.0%이며 병원의 환산지수를 분리하는 경우 외래 및 입원 환산지수 조정률은 각 각 2.2%, 2.3%로 나타났다. 그리고 조정계수를 활용하여 외래 및 입원 환산지수를 결합하는 방안을 제시하였다. 둘째, 의료전달체계 확립을 위한 조치의 하나로 제안된 가산율 조정 방식 대신에 가산율과 환산지수를 연동하여 운영하는 방안을 제안하였다. 셋째, 병원⦁의원 등 유형별로 외래환산지수, 입원환산지수, 조정계수를 도입하는 것에 추가해 진료량에 대한 목표관리를 가능하게 하는 모형 개발이 필요하다.
