Abstract：Objective To explore the synergy of policy objectives and policy tools of the 30 DRG pilot cities from the perspective of policy synergy at the level of the cities themselves and at the level of the central government.Methods The policy evaluation dimensions were constructed with the help of text mining method,the input-output table was constructed with the policy modelling consistency index(PMC),the PMC surface diagram was plotted,and the synergy between the state and each pilot city was measured by correlation analysis.Results In terms of policy evaluation,Jilin,Xining,Wuxi,Qingdao,Shanghai and Qingyang performed better,with better performance in overall policy quality and balance of indicators,and the key to affecting policy quality lied in management measures;in terms of central-local synergies,most of the cities had better synergies,and basically maintained higher synergies with the state in terms of policy hierarchy,policy perspectives,management measures,infrastructural construction,policy evaluation,and policy disclosure,the nature of the policy,policy timeliness and core elements still needed to be improved.Conclusion DRG pilot cities have established a preliminary policy system,but the policy quality of each pilot city varies in synergy with the central government,and some cities have better development.In the future,the experience of the demonstration sites should be taken into account to improve the quality of policies,while promoting the deep integration of macro and micro policies to further promote synergistic development at the national and local levels.
