ABSTRACT
Objective:To build a comprehensive medical, teaching, and research discipline indicators system that is objective and easily accessible in data, and to develop a comprehensive evaluation method, at the same time provide references for discipline evaluation and orientation.Methods:Literature review was used in referring to the evaluation indicators of different ranking systems in China, Delphi method and Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) were applied to identify the indicators and their weight.Results:A comprehensive discipline evaluation indicator system, including 3 first-level indicators, 12 second-level indicators, and 41 third-level indicators, were constructed. The Cartesian coordinates allows for specifying the location of the medical, teaching, research level of certain discipline, and the distribution of relevant discipline groups in three-dimensional space.Conclusions:The indicators system for discipline evaluation in this study has the characteristics of refinedness, comprehensiveness, operability, and applicability, providing references for the future evaluation of disciplines.
ABSTRACT
Objective Through combing and analyzing the existing hospital rankings in China,comparing the similarities,differences and problems of existing rankings,to improve the hospital's understanding of the ranking work,and provide reference for hospital discipline construction and development.Methods To comprehensively review and compare the major ranking of hospitals in China,such as "China's Hospital Rankings","China's Hospitals · Competitiveness Rankings","Ranking of the Best Clinical Subjects in China","China Hospitals' Science and Technology Evaluation Metrics" and "Beijing Medical Service and Key Specialist Evaluation",and to analyze from the angle of the background,characteristics,evaluation methods,evaluation dimension and so on.Results At present,the hospital rankings have their own characteristics,each with its own focus,but there is still poor accessibility of clinical data,and the evaluation index of patients' medical experience and educational work are not perfect.Conclusions The hospital ranking list is a third-party evaluation tool to promote the construction of hospital disciplines effectively.It is recommended that all relevant organizations or departments further improve the construction of the ranking system,build big data platforms for hospital evaluation,improve the data accessibility of clinical medical quality and safety indicators,build scientific and objective dynamic evaluation systems,and carry out multi-level,multi-dimensional and continuous hospital ranking work.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the causes of per-hospitalization high inpatient expenditure of a tertiary hospital in 2015,by analyzing the influencing factors.Methods We retrospectively studied 1 282 inpatient cases who cost more than 100 000 yuan per case at a tertiary hospital in 2015,analyzing statistically major influencing factors of such expenditure in variance analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis.Results The average days of stay of these cases were 27.6 days,and the average medical cost of those cases was 149 153 yuan per person.Costs for medicines and material made up a large proportion of medical costs,respectively accounting for 33.38% and 31.98% of the total.The days of stay,prognosis of the patient,complications as well as hospital infection,surgeries,gender of the patients constituted major factors on inpatient medical expenditure.Conclusions Reducing the average days of stay,guiding reasonable applications of drugs and medical materials,strengthening management on operations and controlling excessive medical services are effective approaches to reducing excessive growth of medical costs.
