Building and application of the public welfare evaluation index system for public hospitals / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Building a systematic public welfare evaluation index system for public hospitals is key to scientific evaluation of the public welfare positioning of public hospitals and enhancing their public benefit orientation,along with references for government decision making on macro health policies.The indexes were screened and pinpointed in two rounds of Delphi expert consultations,and index weights were determined with the variation coefficient method,initially building a public welfare performance evaluation index system for such hospitals,including eight class-1 indexes and 20 class-2 indexes.Outcomes of the system prove that the public welfare performance indexes of the two hospitals evaluated rise year by year from 2008 to 2010.
