On March 24, the National Health and Health Commission released the “2022 Departmental Budget of the National Health and Health Commission”, further reducing the budget of public hospitals for health expenditures.

According to the document, the general public budget of the National Health and Health Commission in 2022 is 18,058,541,500 yuan, an increase of 596,779,300 yuan or 3.42% over the 2021 implementation amount, but the public hospital budget is still reduced by 65,698.3 10,000 yuan, a decrease of 8.96% compared to 2021.

The main reason is that in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on living a tight life, the general expenditures were vigorously reduced, and the key expenditures on public funds and health management affairs were reduced. Non-urgent and non-rigid expenditures, and at the same time reasonably guarantee the expenditure needs of budget management hospital service capacity building, the reform of the national disease control system, etc., which are reflected in the relevant expenditure items.

To a certain extent, the National Health Commission has set the tone that public hospitals will continue to live a tight life this year.

Relevant policies are emerging one after another, the general economic downturn, the tightening of medical insurance expenditures, and the decline in hospital income under the new epidemic prevention policy. The general feeling of public hospital managers is that public hospitals are having a hard time now. Facing an unpredictable future, the vast number of medical practitioners in China, especially managers, have entered a period of confusion.

In the post-epidemic era, public hospitals have already tightened their belts in advance to live a tight life. It has changed from the rough development ideas in the past, started from improving the performance appraisal system, improved the efficiency of human, financial and material allocation, and started from the perspective of hospital operation to improve the level of lean and scientific management.

Then how to improve the operational management level? How to help hospitals build an operation management system? How can we master the methods of setting up the operation management department and cultivating team competencies, and how to connect the administrative departments and clinical departments with a close service model?

From May 21st to 22nd this year, the media in the medical community, together with Wuhan University Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University Hospital Management Institute, and Huihong Medical Management Group, will hold a National Hospital Refinement Management The forum and hospital operation training camp hopes to provide new ideas for operation management and high-quality development for hospitals across the country.

Previous training camps have received positive responses from hospital administrators across the country. This training camp will continue to adopt small class teaching as always, and continue to invite leaders of the Health and Health Commission, industry experts, and hospital administrators to provide feedback on hospital operations, Policy interpretation, theoretical and practical training for high-quality development.

Why this camp?

(1) Want to know what the operation and management department of the hospital does? I heard that they do marketing, branding, disciplines, equipment, cost, efficiency, and medical services and quality, but I really don’t understand?

(2) Some hospital operation management department is a temporary organization, so it is not a problem to be in the top three, to meet the major inspection, to build a regional medical alliance….

(3) Some hospital operation and management departments are like an unpleasant “nanny” who takes care of things that no one wants to manage, and finds them for things that no one wants to solve. Be responsible for!

(4) Some hospital operation and management departments, like finance, report economic and operational data statistics, and have little effect on the improvement of medical services.

(5) Some hospitals have changed their names, and the person in charge of the operation management department is actually the vice president of administration.
