چکیده

مصرف مراقبت‌های سلامت را «بهره‌مندی» می‌نامند. مطالعات بهره‌مندی در سازمان‌های بیمه‌گر برای مدیریت مصرف خدمات درمانی جمعیت تحت پوشش استفاده می‌شود. پژوهش حاضر از نوع مروری نقلی بود که با هدف آشنایی با مطالعات بهره‌مندی و کاربرد آن در سازمان‌های بیمه‌گر در سال 1397 صورت گرفت. در این مطالعه، مقالات پایگاه‌های ProQuest، ScienceDirect، PubMed، Scopus و ISI Web of Science بدون محدودیت زمانی انتخاب گردید و از 50 مقاله مرتبط، ماهیت، ضرورت، انواع و موانع انجام مطالعات بهره‌مندی استخراج شد. در مجموع می‌توان گفت که در حال حاضر سازمان‌های بیمه بیشترین تمرکز خود را بر بررسی رفتار ارایه دهندگان قرار داده‌اند و از بررسی رفتار مصرف‌کنندگان (مطالعات بهره‌مندی) غفلت می‌ورزند. استانداردسازی فرمت داده‌های دریافتی از مراکز ارایه دهنده، ذخیره‌سازی یکپارچه داده‌ها و حساس بودن نرم‌افزارهای بیمه‌ای به افراد با مصارف غیر عادی، انجام مطالعات بهره‌مندی را ‌تسهیل می‌نماید.

چکیده [English]

Consuming medical services is labeled as utilization. Utilization studies are used by insurance companies to study the behavior of medical service consumers. Currently, insurance companies focus more on caregivers' behavior, and neglect the consumers’ side. This was a narrative review study carried out in year 2018 to emphasize the necessity of utilization reviews and their importance. In this study, we used ProQuest, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science databases without any time limitation. We chose 50 articles and reviewed them to found 5 essential questions about utilization reviews, and their importance, differences, and challenges, as well as factors affecting them. Our study revealed that having standardized data formats for service providers, integrated data pools, and relevant software sensitive to unusual service consumers, facilitate the utilization review studies.
