Research on the variety of results for assessing the quality of hospital management / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

At present, the assessment of the same hospital at the same time by different means may lead to different assessment results, viz. there may be a variety (inconsistency) of assessment results. This can be chiefly attributed to the variety of assessment systems, with different assessment indexes and assessment methods, and to the variety of people making the assessments and assessing environments. Integrated measures can be taken in order to render assessment results more accurate: ① refusing to have blind faith in any particular method; ② seeing clearly assessment goals and features; ③ properly selecting index systems for the assessment; ④ correctly fixing the weights for indexes; ⑤ appropriately selecting assessment methods; ⑥ making combined use of various methods; ⑦ pooling the results from different assessment methods.
