Note: Subscripts refer to the item number. For example, A₂ refers to the assessment indicator for item 2, and W₂ denotes weight given to item 2 in the overall assessment score. The assessment indictor is the percentage of the relevant population in the provider’s catchment area that the provider has served (except for three items that resemble public goods, which are evaluated by a group of supervisors). For example, X₂ is the number of residents who have health records created and maintained by the Community Health Station (CHS); R is the number of residents who live in the community served by the CHS. Similarly, X₃ is the number of residents with access to health education materials; X₅ and R₅ are the numbers of treated and suspected chronic disease cases in the community; X₆ and R₆ are the number of women the CHS provides with systematic health care and the number of women living in the community, respectively; X₇ and R₇ are the number of children covered by physical monitoring and guideline treatment and the number of children living in the community; X₈ and R₈ respectively represent the number of elderly provided with home visits and physical monitoring and the number of elderly people living in the community; X₉ and R₉ are the number of the disabled residents with access to rehabilitation and home visits and the number of disabled people living in the community; X₁₁ and R₁₁ are the numbers of interviewees satisfied with the CHS and total number of interviewed residents in the community, respectively.
