基于政策工具的我国国家级试点城市长期护理保险政策分析

目的:分析我国国家级试点城市在推进长期护理保险中政策工具的使用情况,揭示现有政策工具在应用中的特点与问题,并提出相应的政策建议,以期为推动形成国家层面的长期护理保险政策提供参考。方法:基于政策工具和利益相关者两个维度构建二维分析框架,采用内容分析法,对96项长期护理保险政策文本、359条政策工具进行分析。结果:政策工具结构不均衡,供给型政策工具占25.90%、需求型政策工具占17.00%、环境型政策工具占57.1%;利益相关者不协调,政府占41.23%、定点护理机构占19.22%、商业保险公司占19.78%、参保人占12.53%、社会组织占7.24%。结论:试点城市现有长期护理保险政策在政策工具应用上以环境型为主,应结合发展趋势优化三种政策工具使用比例;在利益相关者维度,政策工具使用时应均衡各方利益,引导和鼓励各方参与到长期护理保险中。
