The salary reform of public hospitals has a positive incentive effect on enhancing the public welfare of public hospitals, stimulating the enthusiasm of medical staff, and promoting high-quality development. The authors introduced the practice and exploration of the sequential salary system reform in Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology since 2018. It included the reform of physician performance based on medical groups, the reform of nursing performance based on vertical nursing management, the reform of medical technology performance based on resource marginal utilization, and the reform of management performance based on job responsibilities and 360°evaluation. The practice has showed that the salary reform could promote the improvement of medical service ability, improve nurses′ satisfaction, shorten the waiting time for medical technical examination, and steadily improve the performance of " National Examination" and the comprehensive ranking of hospitals. When studying and implementing the policy requirements of salary system reform, hospitals in different regions should take measures in accordance with local conditions, with accurate and safe information systems as the support, and focus on the distribution mode, compensation structure and funding sources.
