Comprehensive comparison of the methods for determining the salary level of doctors in public hospitals in China / 中国卫生政策研究

At present, there are three methods for determining the salary level, namely the social average wage comparison method, balance comparison method, and market comparison method respectively. Through comprehensive comparison, this paper compares the abovementioned three paths from aspects of objects, principles, methods, advantages, operability, limitations or restriction conditions, and scope of application, and finds out the advantages and disadvantages of each of the three methods. Therefore, it needs to be considered and selected according to different applicable conditions before being specifically applied. The results showed that social average wage comparison relies too much on the influence of values, and that the market comparison needs to be based on a sound medical market. Therefore, this paper suggests that China's method for determining the salary level should be gradually transitioned from the social average wage comparison to the balance comparison method. Simultaneously, much attention should be paid to non-monetary welfare factors and the establishment of strict training system and access mechanism to improve the overall quality of doctors.
