System Dynamics Modeling for Medicine Price Policy in China

摘要

There is a strange phenomenon in medicine market in China: abuse of a lot of expensive prescription drugs such as antibiotic, while the low price prescription drugs disappearing in market, and the medicine price is going higher and higher to pay for by patient. This is indeed a disaster in health care system of China. In this paper, we set up a system dynamics model to demonstrate the deep mechanism: this is mainly due to medicine price policy; afterwards, a serials policy is proposed to handle this disaster.
