ABSTRACT
Objective:To construct the homogenous evaluation index system for public hospital branches under the background of high-quality development, providing reference for improving the homogenization level of public hospital branches.Methods:By analyzing literature, relevant policies and the management practices of the public hospital branches, a preliminary screening index system for homogenization evaluation of public hospital branches was constructed. Two rounds of Delphi method were used to screen homogenization evaluation indicators for public hospital branches and determine the weights of the indicators. Taking the branches of a tertiary hospital as an example, the indicator system was empirically applied.Results:The homogenization evaluation index system for public hospital branches included 4 first level indicators, 8 second level indicators and 21 third level indicators. The weights of the first level indicators of medical homogeneity, management homogeneity, emergency conversion and satisfaction were 51.33%, 23.16%, 9.00% and 16.51%, respectively. Through empirical application, the homogenization coefficient of the public hospital branche was 0.833 5.Conclusions:The homogenization evaluation index system for public hospital branches was in line with the goals of the construction and development of multiple campuses of one hospital for public hospital. Indicators with low homogenization coefficients were the shortcomings of homogenization in hospital branches. This indicator system provided measurement standards and improvement directions for the homogenization of medical and management in hospital branches.
