Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the publicness of medical services in public and private medical institutions, with a focus on treatment performance using National Health Insurance data. Data from the National Health Insurance Service were used to compare the publicness of medical services in public and private medical institutions. Beta regression analysis was conducted after adjusting for the relevant characteristics to identify the impact on the public treatment performance of medical institutions. The public case rate of public health institutions was higher than that of private medical institutions. According to the type of medical care institution, the public case rate was higher in general hospitals and tertiary hospitals than in hospitals. Recently, it has often highlighted that increasing emphasis of profitability in the evaluation of public health institutions is damaging the publicness of medical services. Even in this study, it can be evaluated that the public case rate of public health institutions is not higher than that of private medical institutions.
