内容摘要
Consider a public healthcare system consisting of a hospital, a mobile clinic (MC), and a population of potential patients. The government is concerned about the system's healthcare spending and the population's health outcomes. It needs to decide whether and how to provide the MC service to maximize the social welfare that consists of two terms: the system's long-run average healthcare cost and the population's average quality-adjusted life year (QALY). We then characterize the optimal MC delivery policy for both fast- and slow-progressive diseases. We show that the MC service is provided only when the setup cost is below a certain threshold under both disease types. Once the MC service is provided, we show that if the disease is fast-progressive, the MC service is provided either every or every other period. The provision of the MC service always results in a longer average QALY compared to that without the MC service. It can also reduce the average healthcare cost when the setup cost is sufficiently low and the relative treatment cost-saving per person with the provision of the MC service is positive. We have also collaborated with the mobile clinic management team in the Zichuan District, Zibo City, China, and conducted a case study.
