ABSTRACT
To improve the evaluation indicators of medical quality in TCM hospitals; To realize objective, fair, and accurate evaluation of the quality of TCM. Based on relevant literature on medical quality in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals research and thematic group discussions, 21 evaluation indicators for TCM characteristics were formed. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 40 experts, and 37 were effectively collected, with a positive coefficient of 92.50%. After two rounds of expert consultation, the evaluation indicators were determined to be: the intensity of outpatient use of TCM decoction pieces (utilization rate of TCM decoction pieces, prescription number of TCM decoction pieces, dosage of TCM decoction pieces, and service price of TCM decoction pieces), the intensity of the use of TCM technology (proportion of TCM technology, number of TCM projects, cost of TCM technology, and course of treatment). Case studies were conducted on relevant data from 10 departments using the operational decision support system (BI) platform of Yueyang Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital affiliated with Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to verify the rationality of indicators. The 10 departments were analyzed and evaluated, and the results obtained were basically consistent with the actual medical quality situation of the hospital. The indicators used in this study can reflect the actual medical quality situation, and have a certain degree of scientificity, feasibility, and applicability, providing reference for improving the medical quality evaluation indicators of TCM hospitals.
ABSTRACT
By the means of stratified sampling survey, six provinces were selected from three regions in China, and the Chinese medicine health resources were evaluated and analyzed by data envelopment analysis (DEA) method in six provinces. The Jiangsu, Guangdong and Guizhou Provinces are in the effective state of DEA, which has been fully utilized in the input-output of TCM health resources, and has reached the best input-output combination. The Anhui, Henan, Gansu Provinces are in an effective state of non-DEA, and the input of health resources has not been fully utilized and the optimal scale of output has not been achieved. There are regional differences in health resources of TCM in public hospitals, and there is still room for further economic development. We hope that TCM service system can interconnect and optimize the regional allocation of TCM resources.
ABSTRACT
The excel statistical software and standard research methods were applied to account the application and approval rates of NSFC of Xiyuan Hospital of CACMS in the recent 3 years. The application and feedback issued by NSFC were collated and analyzed in this paper. From the foundation management, all departments had higher enthusiasm on project application, but departments applied were relatively centralized. The approval rates had risen steadily in the past 3 years. And approved projects mainly focused on departments of cardiovascular, hematology, spleen and stomach, geriatrics and basic medicine. However, no higher level projects were not supported successful by NSFC. And research awards for Xiyuan Hospital were mainly supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology and NSFC. In order to enhance successful rates of application and guarantee development of science research more sustainable, rapid and healthy, enthusiasm of researchers should be stimulated; quality of declaration should be improved; new mechanism of scientific research management need be perfected; and a good research environment should be built.
ABSTRACT
In this study, the standard research methods were applied to account the awards and applications of scientific research achievements of Xiyuan hospital from 2010 to 2014. As for the scientific research awards, each department from Xiyuan hospital was active, but the awards application offices were relatively few, thus the quantity of the awards was decreasing year by year. And the distribution was relatively uneven. The basic characteristics of scientific research awards showed that the National Science and Technology Award was the most difficult award. And other characteristics of scientific research award showed that it was often based on a project with high social recognition and high authority, and with the first researchers were high rank professors. This work cast light on that scientific research management should improve the quality of projects and strengthen exchanges, propaganda and introduction of each project achievement, enhance team establishment as support, and establish a reasonable assessment system for scientific research achievements.
