ABSTRACT
The cross regional loose medical alliance is an important carrier in the current integrated development process of medical services in the Yangtze River Delta region. Smith policy implementation process model was used to analyze the development difficulties of cross regional loose medical alliances from idealized policies, policy implementation institutions, policy target groups, and policy implementation environment. Such medical alliances were formed under the background of integrated development in the Yangtze River Delta, with Shanghai′s tertiary public hospitals as leading units and medical institutions in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces as member units. Analysis showed that the policies for such medical alliances development had not yet clearly defined the organizational management mode, operational mechanism, and implementation path, and the corporate governance structure of medical alliance was immature; The policy implementation agencies were relatively lagging behind in the support of special funds and the formulation of related supporting policies; Participation of policy target groups was insufficient and their incentive mechanisms was imperfect; There were problems in the policy implementation environment, namely inconsistent medical and health service regulations and systems in different regions, different health financing capabilities of local governments, insufficient coordination of medical institution management concepts, and a lack of unified standards in information systems. Based on the above difficulties, this study proposed to strengthen the development planning and layout of cross regional loose medical alliances, and improve the corporate governance structure; To strengthen the government′s main responsibility and improving policy implementation capabilities; To improve the internal cooperation and operation mechanism of cross regional loose medical alliances, and enhance the sense of identity of the target group; To optimize the policy implementation environment and implement various support measures, so as to provide references for further promoting the coordinated development of high-quality medical resources in the Yangtze River Delta region.
ABSTRACT
Health service is an important part of the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. Taking the cooperation practice between Shanghai Tenth People′s Hospital and Suzhou Yinshanhu Hospital as an example, this article introduced the multi-agent cooperation mode of the loose medical alliance including the government, urban hospitals and cross provincial grassroots medical institutions. Among them, the local government provided policy, fund guarantee and guidance, the urban hospital exported management ideas, medicine talents and technologies, and the primary hospital conducted dual training by inviting in and going out to achieve double growth. Through the high gap cooperation between tertiary hospital and primary hospital, Yinshanhu hospital had been comprehensively developed. The loose medical alliance with multi subject coordination and cross region could give full play to the advantages of the loose healthcare alliance mode, achieve multi-win, and have reference significance for promoting the regional integration of medical and health services in the Yangtze River Delta.
ABSTRACT
As a mature management method, the matrix management model has been embraced by various sectors at large. This article introduced the practice of a tertiary general hospital in combining hospital ethics with medical administration and code of conduct for medical service, leveraging the matrix management mode in hospital ethics construction. By sorting out the risk exposure in hospital ethics, the hospital identified specific responsibilities and departments involved. On such basis, eight stable matrix-based ethics working groups were established, namely hospital ethics training, hospital ethics publicity, hospital ethics interview, prevention against prescription statistics for drug rebate, patient rights protection, management of physician practice in other medical facilities, academic cooperation, and hospital ethics tour inspections. Matrix-based management meets the characteristics of hospital ethics development as it not only enables multi-department management needs, but also improves the efficiency. With the advancement and connotation enrichment of hospital ethics development, matrix management can become a regular management mode.
ABSTRACT
Based on the requirement of the ongoing healthcare reform on the performance appraisal for public hospitals, Shanghai Tenth People′s Hospital explored the performance appraisal system oriented by clinical ability and cost control from the perspective of medical administration and finance. Performance appraisal programs were made from five aspects: clinical development ability, key efficacy indicators, clinical path, disease-entity structure, cost control, aiming to highlight the functional positioning of tertiary hospitals, change doctors′ behaviors of diagnosis and treatment, lead clinical improvement and maintain healthy economy development.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To develop a framework and indicators system for disability-related service data in China. Methods Using International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework and approach, the framework and indicators system were developed using content analysis, logical reasoning and expert consultation. Results A system with nine aspects, 35 dimensions and 115 indicators was established. Eleven experts with disability-related background all accepted the system, and satisfied in the importance and operability.Conclusion A data framework and indicators system with nine aspects, 35 dimensions and 115 indicators has been established for disability-related service, which can be used in further data collection.
ABSTRACT
@#This paper reviewed international documents of disability statistics. The results showed that all disability measurements had been adopted International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) terminology and approach. Disability statistics in US tailored to ICF framework and classification. Disability statistics in China had partially adopted ICF approach.
