“…The inflation rate is generally considered to be the rise in the average price (subject to inflation). The inflation rate causes a significant change in the system's operating costs, and consequently, a change in the economic efficiency index (9). Consumer price index (CPI) is a macro-economic index that reflects the price level changes of consumer goods and services purchased by households in general.…”

Background: Since the implementation of the new medical reform in 2009, China has established and improved a series of medical security systems, established medical confederations based on four categories, and promoted the operation of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment model. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of the matrix chronic diseases management platform developed from the integrated delivery system. To evaluate the effects of the matrix chronic diseases management platform developed from the integrated delivery system in China on expenses, medical seeking behaviors, compensation, and degree of satisfaction in hypertensive patients. A longitudinal and retrospective study was performed to investigate medical expenses, actual compensation ratios, medical behaviors, and the degree of satisfaction across different levels of medical institutions in hypertensive patients.Methods: A total of 7,037 patients with hypertension aged 36-99 from Zhili Town Health Center were selected based on the diagnostic criteria of the Guidelines for Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension in China. Data was collected from the hospital's database and systems, and questionnaires were distributed to patients who attended the Department of Cardiology. Outcomes included inspection and drug expenses in the outpatient and inpatient departments, actual reimbursement ratios, number of visits across different levels of hospitals, expenditure per visit, medical behaviors, complications of patients, and the degree of satisfaction of both patients and doctors in primary hospitals. Results:The average cost for hypertensive patients was shown to be increasing year by year in the outpatient and inpatient departments. The number of patients in tertiary hospitals decreased significantly, while the number of patients in community hospitals (primary hospitals) increased, and the number of patients in secondary hospitals has remained almost unchanged. Furthermore, expenses per visit in hospitals across all levels also decreased during the study period. The primary complications of hypertension were cerebrovascular disease and coronary heart disease, which showed a slightly increasing trend. The degree of satisfaction of patients and doctors in primary hospitals was relatively high, and rose from 2014 to 2019. Conclusions:The matrix chronic diseases management platform developed from the integrated delivery system built in Huzhou No.1 Hospital had a positive effect on improving the reimbursement and satisfaction of patients with hypertension.

The paper presents a simplified method of determining the thickness of sludge on the walls of the heat exchanger piping in a biogas plant digester. The evaluation of the thickness of a sludge layer is based on the biogas plant operation parameters, including the inlet and outlet temperature of the heat exchanger, mass flow and the geometric characteristics of the heat exchanger and physical parameters of the substrate working inside a fermentation chamber. Measurement of the thickness of the sludge layer on the walls of a heat exchanger is only possible at the time of general cleaning of a digester, which necessitates switching off the biogas plant operation. The paper compares the results of predictions with experimental data of the work of a biogas plant digester located in north-eastern Poland, in Ryboły. The presentation of the obtained numerical results is supplemented by the uncertainty analysis. The significance of undertaking such research lies in its applicational aspects, as during the operation of a biogas plant sludge accumulates on the walls of a digester, which provides additional thermal resistance and reduces the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger.
