Healthcare-associated infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) constitute a major challenge worldwide, but care providers are often not sufficiently incentivized to implement recommended infection prevention measures to prevent the spread of such infections. We propose a new approach which creates incentives for hospitals, external laboratories and insurers to collaborate on preventing MDRO outbreaks by testing more and implementing infection prevention measures. This tripartite insurance model (TIM) redistributes the costs of preventing and combating MDRO outbreaks in a way that all parties benefit from reducing the number of outbreaks.

Introduction: With the rapid development of China's pharmaceutical industry, issues of corruption and regulatory effectiveness have become increasingly prominent, posing critical challenges to public health safety and the industry's sustainable development.
Methods: This paper adopts a bounded rationality perspective and employs a game-theoretic evolutionary approach to establish a tripartite evolutionary game model involving pharmaceutical companies, third-party auditing organizations, and health insurance regulatory agencies. It analyzes the stable strategies of the parties involved and the sensitivity of key parameters within this tripartite game system.

Background: As the main cause of cancer death, lung cancer imposes seriously health and economic burdens on individuals, families, and the health system. In China, there is no national study analyzing the hospitalization expenditures of different payment methods by lung cancer inpatients. Based on the 2010-2016 database of insured urban resident lung cancer inpatients from the China Medical Insurance Research Association (CHIRA), this paper aims to investigate the characteristics and cost of hospitalized lung cancer patient, to examine the differences in hospital expenses and patient out-of-pocket (OOP) expenses under four medical insurance payment methods: fee-for-service (FFS), per-diem payments, capitation payments (CAP) and case-based payments, and to explore the medical insurance payment method that can be conducive to controlling the cost of lung cancer.
