Analisis Pencapaian Ipas-Biaya Rumah Sakit Umum Pemerintah dalam Rangka Pelayanan Bagi Masyarakat Miskin: Studi Kasus Jawa Tengah (Cost Recovery Analysis of Public General Hospitals in Serving Poor Community: A Case of Central Java)

---

The study is a systematic empirical analysis to test some hypotheses. The objectives were (1) to analyze the sufficiency of government subsidy for poor people to cover the cost of hospital care for the hospital to reach cost recovery, and (2) to test whether economic theories can be used to analyze factors effecting the sales volume of product/service of public general hospital. Population studied were 35 general hospitals owned by district governments in Central Java. From each hospital four year time series data were taken pooling method), so that there were 140 observations (at the end there were only 136 observations, since four observations could not be done to incompleteness of the hospital records). Analysis of government subsidy for poor community showed that the subsidy could only cover 5% of the hospital’s yearly deficit (total yearly deficit is Rp. 1.5 billions in average). Meanwhile, correlation analysis revealed that only two variables having significance and strong correlation with sales volume of hospital’s product/service, i.e. incidence of disease and spending for social marketing. Other variables had no correlation with sales volume of product/service, or the correlations were very weak. Multivariate analysis showed that only incidence of disease, consumer’s income, geographic condition, and coverage of insurance, represented in a regression model, were effecting sales volume of hospital’s product/service. Results of the study confirmed that neoclassic economics theories are not suitable to analyzed problems faced by government owned general hospitals. Ales volume of product/service of public general hospital was more determined by incidence of disease and consumer smotivation created by providers, especially physicians, not by variables regarded as dominant by neoclassic economics theories. The motivation was likely created through abuse of agency relationship which produces supplier-induced demand.
