Abstract：Objective:Based on the perspective of group analysis,it explores the influencing factors of provincial governments'response to the of dynamic adjustment policy of medical service prices.Subsequently,it dissects the differential driving mechanism of policy response,which in turn provides theoretical support for optimizing policy implementation.Methods:The length of policy response time in each province was set as the outcome variable.Five conditional variables were selected based on the triple roles of"state agent","economic agent"and"social agent"of local governments.Then,fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis(fsQCA)was applied to conduct the group analysis.Results:The speed of local government policy response is the result of the joint action of multiple roles and influencing factors.The response paths were categorised as economist-led,social agent-led,and economic-social binary-led models.Conclusion:It is suggested that local governments should promote synergistic co-operation among local healthcare organizations while balancing economic benefits and social needs.The government should integrate multiple considerations for efficient policy implementation,while carrying out evaluation and measurement work.
