Abstract: After the implementation of drugs' zero-profit policy in hospitals of Zhejiang province, "One minus, two adjustments, and one compensation" (i.e., reduce drug costs, adjust medical service charges, adjust the relevant health policy, increase government investment appropriately) was adopted to make compensation for the normal operation of the hospital. However, due to the insufficient government investment, new problems including decline of average outpatient expenditure and increase of average inpatient expenditure occurred after the reform. This article discussed how to establish a reasonable cost compensation mechanism in public psychiatric hospitals so as to provide guidance and evidences to the reform of public psychiatric hospitals after the implementation of drugs' zero-profit policy.
