Discussion on formulation of public hospital′s articles / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

The scientific and standardized articles recognized and followed by all members of the hospital are significant tools to ensure that the hospital adheres to the development direction of public welfare, to guide the operation and development of the hospital, to guarantee the autonomy of hospital management, and to promote the legalization of hospital management system and operation mechanism. Public hospitals are the main body of their articles′ formulation, and other stakeholders such as the organization running hospitals, industry association, health administrative departments can also play an active role in the process of public hospital articles′ formulation. The articles of public hospitals should cover the basic situation of hospitals, internal organizational structure, decision-making system, management system, external governance structure and relationship, etc. In the formulation of the public hospital′s articles, we should not only comply with requirements from policy documents, but also reflect the characteristics of the hospital. We should not only standardize the hospital′s governance and management, but also coordinate the existing institutional arrangements of the hospital. And we should not only formulate the articles, but also actively promote their implementation.
