The relationship of drug price and purchasing group size was evaluated. Thirty drug line items were studied in 26 private hospital purchasing groups of various sizes. Prices were analyzed relative to purchasing group size, age, and location. Drug prices were negatively correlated to group size in a linear relationship. Prices were significantly lower in groups representing greater than 10,000 beds. No significant relationship was found between group age or location and drug prices. The theory that increasing purchasing group size will result in better contract prices was supported.
对药品价格与采购团体规模之间的关系进行了评估。在26个不同规模的私立医院采购团体中研究了30个药品项目。分析了价格与采购团体规模、年龄和地点之间的关系。药品价格与团体规模呈负相关的线性关系。在代表超过10000张床位的团体中价格显著更低。未发现团体年龄或地点与药品价格之间存在显著关系。采购团体规模增加会带来更好的合同价格这一理论得到了支持。
