Quality of mental health care among insured patients in an Indonesian psychiatric hospital.
Article in BMC health services research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to assess the quality of inpatient psychiatric care for patients covered by the National Health Insurance (NHI) programme at the Indonesian Psychiatric Hospital in Makassar.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective secondary data analysis using electronic claim (e-claim) data from Indonesia's NHI system for the 2019-2020 period, applying the Donabedian framework to evaluate the structure, process, and outcome components of psychiatric inpatient care quality. Descriptive statistical analyses including frequency distributions, cross-tabulations, and summary measures (means, standard deviations) were applied across framework dimensions. Unadjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs and chi-square tests were conducted to evaluate associations between prolonged LOS (>42 days) and financial loss; all associations are unadjusted and descriptive.
resultsQuality assessment under Indonesia's NHI demonstrated persistent structural challenges in psychiatric inpatient care. Thirty-day readmission rates were 7.2% (113 of 1,571 unique patients) in 2019 and 5.5% (34 of 614 unique patients) in 2020, indicating gaps in continuity of care and suboptimal transition processes. Nearly half of total admissions exceeded 42 days, reflecting substantial clinical complexity and prolonged stabilisation needs. Financial evaluations showed that hospital tariffs consistently exceeded INA-CBGs reimbursement across all length of stay categories, generating universal financial losses. Prolonged stays (>42 days) accounted for approximately 80% of total loss-incurring admissions and produced the largest mean deficits, highlighting significant misalignment between the prospective payment system and the true resource requirements of psychiatric care.
conclusionsThis study identifies a dual challenge in Indonesian psychiatric inpatient care: structural misalignment between INA-CBGs reimbursement and actual care costs, compounded by service-delivery factors inherent to severe and relapsing psychiatric illness. Addressing these challenges requires both tariff reform and investment in integrated clinical pathways and post-discharge community support to ensure financial sustainability and high-quality mental healthcare within Indonesia's NHI system.
