In an attempt to curb the rapidly rising expenditure of prescribing, the government introduced a financial incentive demonstration project in July 2008, to encourage clinicians to restrain their prescribing. This study undertook a qualitative and quantitative exploration of the attitude of doctors on Prescribing Incentive Scheme(thereafter PIS) demonstration project based on the pharmaceutical cost saving. In order to explore a plurality of perspectives, data were obtained from focus groups and a series of individual semi-structured interviews with doctors. To analyze PIS demonstration project, prescribing data in 2007.7～2009.6 were used. This study suggest that PIS demonstration has being expected to enhance a few efforts to reduce pharmaceutical expenditure. In the other hand, participants concerned negative attitude to demonstration project. To change the prescribing behavior, continuous training and giving public information should be made.
