Objective:Under the guidance of " Opinions on Strengthening Party Construction in Public Hospitals" enacted by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the performance evaluation index system for Party-committee secretaries has been released to reflect the overall leadership responsibility of Party committees at public hospitals.Methods:By means of literature review, policy learning and the preliminary work performance of Shanghai Hospital Development Center(SHDC), the framework of the target system was constructed. Three rounds of Delphi method were conducted to score 138 indicators based on eight aspects: result, objectivity, statistics, sensitivity, accessibility, quantifiability, importance and score-oriented. The final indicators were selected and statistically weighted. SPSS 20.0 software was used for descriptive statistical analysis, and Cronbach α evaluation coefficient method and Pearson correlation coefficient were also used to analyze the reliability and validity of indicators. Results:Following three rounds of Delphi research, 18 experts finally constructed a performance evaluation index system for Party committee secretaries that is composed of 4 level-1, 13 level-2 and 25 level-3 indexes. The new index system was used to simulate the scores of 14 hospitals, which was positively correlated with the survey results of third-party patient satisfaction( r=0.897, P<0.01), and was better than the original index system. Conclusions:The index system constructed in this study proves better quantitative objectivity and stronger operability. It has a good reliability and validity among the hospitals that belongs to SSHDC, and could be used for the evaluation of performance of Party-committee secretaries at public hospitals.
