RESUMEN
Reform in the system of hospital property rights now confronts hospital administrators and theoretical workers as a practical theoretical, policy and operational issue. For this reason, the author, in his introduction to the basic concept of the system of property rights, gives an account of the notions of property rights of the West, Marx and Chinese scholars and then expounds respectively the intensions of corporation property rights and the system of corporation property rights. At the same time he makes clear the advantages and limitations of the system of corporation property rights and the relationship between the system of hospital property rights and hospital behavior. Finally, the author sets forth three paths of reforming the system of hospital property rights in China: minor reform, viz. strengthened management instead of reform; medium reform, viz. establishment of a para system of hospital property rights; and major reform, viz. establishment of the system of hospital property rights.
RESUMEN
The objectives of this research are 1) to access different images held by three consumer groups (patients in university hospital, patients in corporation hospital, persons who are not currently visiting hospitals) on two types of hospitals(university hospitals and corporation hospitals), and 2) to investigate the personal factors affecting images of two types of hospitals. The data for this analysis were collected by questionnaire survey. A total of 403 interviews were conducted. Of these cases, 43 percent are male and 57 percent are female. The major statistical methods used for the analysis are paired t-test, factor analysis and multiple regression. The three consumer groups show a consensus that corporation hospitals are better than university hospitals in some aspects, such as kindness, facilities, and equipments. However, these groups disagree in certain images on two types of hospitals, such as popularity, credibility, and readiness for emergency. The images on two types of hospitals are varied by the respondents' sociodemographic characteristics such as age, sex, and by the type of hospital they are currently visiting.
