Checks and balances of academic and administrative powers in the operation and management of the hospital / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Academic powers and administrative power are two primary kinds of power coexisting in the hospital. The two kinds of power,which are essentially different,both overlap and conflict,leading inevitably to the complexity and variety of the power structure in the hospital. By analyzing the current situation of the power structure in the operation and management of hospitals in China,the paper aims to help bring about checks and balances of academic and administrative powers in domestic hospitals and offer some insight into possible models of power operation in Chinese hospitals that fit in with the times and regional features.
