In 2013, China released the \u201cSeveral Opinions on Promoting the Development of the Health Service Industry\u201d.

The overall average PMC-index score was 6.35, indicating generally good policy consistency. Single-dimensional analysis demonstrated high performance in policy disclosure, policy content and policy instruments, but the lowest score in policy timeliness. Provincial policies presented obvious homogeneity, relying heavily on environmental and supply-side instruments while lacking demand-side instruments. Comparative analysis of typical policies further confirmed that flawed time planning, limited diversity of policy instruments selection and incomplete supporting mechanisms undermined the rigor of policy design.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This research provides valuable insights for evaluating and optimizing health service policies and offers a reference for evidence-based policy formulation in similar context, thereby advancing sustainable development practices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00469580261479242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,10]],"date-time":"2026-10-10T00:09:42Z","timestamp":1791590982000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluating Policy Design and Modeling Consistency of Health Service Industry Policies via PMC-Index Model: Good Consistency and Optimization Space"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"63","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-3445-7660","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liwen","family":"Ding","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanlin","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jay","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1787\/data-00349-en"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","volume-title":"Several Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the Development of the Health Service Industry","author":"State Council of the People's Republic of China","year":"2013","unstructured":"State Council of the People's Republic of China.
