Abstract
Can the rural people benefit from New Cooperative Medical Scheme? We set up a simple economic model to show that the rural patient can benefit from NCMS under a good supervision system which depends on the hospital information management. Based on the theoretical model, we give some suggestions for the current local hospital information management.
