Sažetak
Family physicians play a prominent role in the primary health care
system of several countries and regions. This study examined family
doctors, community residents, and general hospitals, and found that
their behaviour and decisions were inevitably affected by multiple
economic concerns. To explore the influence of these economic factors,
we established a tripartite evolutionary game model. Based on
this dynamic game model, we examined the equilibrium of their
interactions, effects of relevant parameters, and evolution trends of
different scenarios. The main result shows that the participation of
general hospitals is crucial to the construction of the family doctor
service; that is, to develop the family doctor service, the government
should focus on financial compensation for general hospitals rather
than for family doctors.We further concluded that the compensation
mechanism of contracted services plays a vital role in attracting
physicians’ participation; thus, policymakers should consider these in
different stages of the promotion of the family doctor service.
