Practices and insights on building the corporate governance structure / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

An retrospective review of the 16-year reforms made by Dongyang People's Hospital for building a corporate governance structure, implementing the president responsibility system under the board of directors, and consolidating the independent legal person status of hospitals. Practices made in the hospital prove that a well-functioning corporate governance structure is key to the separation of hospital administration from service, that of hospital management from operation, and that of hospital ownership from operation right. Moreover, it also serves as an effective model for consolidating the independent legal person status of public hospitals, and promoting their sustainable development, in an effort to carry out reforms in such hospitals.
