ABSTRACT
From the perspective of the government′s positioning of public hospitals, the basic problems of functional positioning of public hospitals are clarified. According to different positioning subjects, the positioning of public hospitals is divided into three categories: government positioning, social positioning and self-positioning. By analyzing the connotation of the positioning mechanism of public hospitals, the outstanding performance of the insufficient realization of the government′s positioning of public hospitals, and the influencing factors of the government′s positioning of public hospitals, this paper tries to provide a theoretical basis for formulating a scientific and comprehensive reform plan of public hospitals.
ABSTRACT
The comprehensive establishment of the basic medical and health system with Chinese characteristics is key to the healthcare reform. Taking the basic medical and health system as the specific research object, this paper elaborated the system examples of various countries' health systems. It also, using the classic system theory as the theoretical research basis, defined the connotation of the basic medical and health system with Chinese characteristics and described such characteristics. The purpose is to lay a theoretical foundation for the development of such a system, and provide references for the healthcare reform and Healthy China initiative.
ABSTRACT
Through analyzing documents of healthcare departments, this paper explored the public benefit nature of the medical and health sector from such aspects as culture, philosophy, management, ethics,economy, politics and society. Furthermore, it analyzed the commonweal in the healthcare reform documents,including the commonweal in public health and medical services,basic medical care and health services,public hospitals and medical and health services. Public hospitals were cited as examples for an in-depth review of the profound connotation of commonweal in the medical and healthcare sector.
ABSTRACT
The financial compensation mechanism for public county hospitals are discussed and analyzed in the paper.Such a mechanism is analyzed by means of media coverage and literature consulting,along with field survey.Roadblocks have been found in implementation of the mechanism, namely delayed payment of capital expenditure compensation,poor support for medical equipment purchase,gaps in development key disciplines development,insufficient compensation for retirees expenses,poor definition of policy-incurred losses,and unclear compensation of public health services.in a word,it is imperative to change the unreasonable financial compensation mechanism,before the six financial compensation subsidies can be fully put in place and financial compensation made efficiently.
ABSTRACT
Given the significant improvement in terms of its coverage and compensation depth,China's basic medical insurance system has inherent setbacks in its structure as held by the authors.They hold that the medical insurance as the most important source of compensation for medical institutions,should further reform its structure of financing and reasonably raise the percentage of compensation; adjust the time reference and space reference for prepayment estimation such as the total prepaid amount; deepen supportive reforms for the payment manner.All these measures aim at minimizing impact of the payment control mechanism on routine medical activities and exploring diversified payment manners that are feasible.
ABSTRACT
The paper analyzed the compensation mechanism applied in public hospitals in different localities in China,which are currently experimenting with the zero price margin for drugs.It also introduced the revenue variations resulting from this practice.It is discovered that public hospitals can hardly make their ends meet with merely governmental financial input,and that lowered income of doctors and price distortion arc evident in those experimental hospitals,with little progress in overcoming the subsidization of medical services with drug sales.The authors recommended a comprehensive reform,the mechanism of diversified health input,change of internal incentive mechanism within the hospital,improvement in the healthcare service pricing mechanism,and exploration of new operation mechanisms for public hospitals.
