Objective To analyze the application of artificial pricing system in wound care clinic. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the pricing and charging by five nurses with artificial pricing system between January and May 2013 in the wound care clinic of a grade-A level-three hospital in Beijing. Among the 1012 times of pricing, 448 were out-of-pocket cases, 372 were insurance cases and 192 were military cases. Results Generally, the average fee of the three types of cases had no significant difference (P>0.05). The military case was a little higher than the other two kinds of cases, and the cost of insurance cases was the lowest of all. There were no significant difference between the average price of out-of-pocket cases and military cases, and the general average price, but there was some differences in the aspect of insurance pricing. In the insurance cases, two nurses' pricing was significantly lower and one significantly higher than the general average (P<0.05). Conclusion The artificial pricing system is unstable and uncertain, and it has high risk on patients'safety in wound care clinic.
