Research on hospital operation efficiency in China based on three-stage data envelopment analysis / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective:To analyze the operation efficiency of hospitals in 31 provinces in China from 2009 to 2019 based on the three-stage data envelopmeni analysis(DEA) model, for references to improve the operation efficiency of hospitals in China and promote the high-quality development of public hospitals.Methods:The data came from such sources as China health statistics yearbook and China general hospital ranking list of Fudan university.The number of hospitals, health technicians and beds in 31 provinces of China from 2009 to 2019 were used as input indicators, while that of hospital patients, discharged patients, hospitalized patients, reputational scoring of superior specialties and academic scoring of scientific research were used as output indicators.Government health expenditure, per capita GDP, population density and the proportion of tertiary hospitals were used as environmental variables.The three-stage DEA model was used to calculate the hospital operation efficiency and scale reward.Results:The environmental variables affected the operation efficiency of hospitals in China( P<0.05). After removing the impact, the average of comprehensive efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of hospitals in 31 provinces from 2009 to 2019 were 0.703, 0.961 and 0.726, respectively.Among them, the scale benefit of hospitals in 4 provinces remained unchanged, while those in 26 provinces increased progressively and 1 province decreased progressively. Conclusions:Pure technical efficiency could be the main factor to improve the operation efficiency of hospitals in China, while the low scale efficiency will affect the improvement of the operation efficiency of hospitals.The scale efficiency of hospitals in most provinces had great room for improvement.In order to improve the overall hospital operation efficiency in China, the authors suggested to expand hospital scale based on the precondition of quality, promote balanced distribution of high-quality medical resources, and play the positive role of the social, economic and environment variables.

Construction of a set of informatics-based assessment indicators for hospital operation and management / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective To establish a set of operational status assessment indicators to meet the needs of informationized hospital management.Methods Assessment indicators were selected and weights were set respectively through literature review,field interview,and questionnaire survey.Six target dimensions were key performance indicators medical business,operational performance,cost control,medical insurance,balance and risk management,and development capability.Thus a set of operational status evaluation indicators was established in IT means,and based on the informationization level of a tertiary A general hospital in Zhejiang province.Results In the principle of public welfare,objectivity,effectiveness and prospectiveness,we analyzed and sorted out relevant data in the current hospital informationization,identifying six quantitative indicators,15 level-1 indicators,and 86 level-2 indicators.Conclusions It is feasible to build a set of assessment indicators for hospital operation and management in view of both technology and methodology.

Analysis of the Influence of "Business Tax to VAT" on Public Hospital Operation / 中国医院管理

As a major part of China's deepening reform of fiscal and taxation system,"Business Tax to VAT" reflects the reform requirement of the top-level design.The paper takes a provincial hospital as an example and analyzes the influence of "Business Tax to VAT" on the operation of public hospitals in China.The reform allows hospitals and individuals to reduce expenses and helps improve medical service-providing system,but specifically,it also brings challenges and difficulties to the work of financial accounting,scientific research,the integrated management and so on in the public hospitals.To solve these problems,the paper puts forward several countermeasures,which indicates that public hospitals should improve accounting,enhance taxing management,give enough concern,develop information-sharing system while training personnel,and make a close link to the government.

Research on the Effect of Information Intelligence Technology in Hospital Operation Decision / 中国卫生经济

Objective:To observe and analyze the effects of information intelligence technology in hospital operation decision.Methods:Relevant factors have been analyzed vertically before and after the application of information intelligence technology in Beijing Cancer Hospital.In this case,data should be analyzed before and after the usage of the information intelligence technology,in terms of medical quality (bed usage,average length of hospitalization,the number of cases,etc.),workloads (number of visits,number of discharged patients,etc.),social benefits (patient satisfaction and employee satisfaction),and economic benefits (total assets,net assets,fixed assets,business income,per capita business income,etc.).Results:Mter the implementation of information intelligence technology,bed occupancy rate and the number of discharged was higher than that before implementation,as well as average length of hospitalization was significantly lower than before.Secondly,the number of visits,discharged persons,total assets,net assets,business income and per capita business income and the satisfaction rate of patients and staff after the implementation of the information intelligence technology were significantly higher than those before.Conclusion:Information intelligence technology could improve medical process and service efficiency,as well as reduce medical disputes and doctor-patient contradiction in hospital operation decision-making.Moreover,the satisfaction of doctors and patients could be ameliorated,manpower and material resources could be saved significantly as well,and the management efficiency would be effectively improved.
