Abstract:
Objective:To design a set of assessment tool for the effectiveness of internal performance management in public hospitals, so as to provide reference for optimization hospital internal systems and multi-institutional comparison.Methods:From September 2022 to April 2023, literature review and expert group discussion were used to initially construct an index system for evaluating the effectiveness of performance management in public hospitals, based on the " structure-process-outcome" model. Index quantitative scoring rules and standardized staff questionnaire for supporting use were developed by drawing on the World Management Survey Hospital Edition and Chinese Hospital Management Survey. Two rounds of Delphi consultation were made to rate the importance and measurement feasibility of each index. The analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the relative importance of the finalized indexes. Results:The effective recovery rate of expert consultation questionnaire was 100%, and the authority coefficient was 0.882. The index system consisted of 3 first-level indexes (structure, process, and result), 9 second-level indexes, and 27 third-level indexes. The weights of structure, process and result were 0.307, 0.406 and 0.287, respectively. The second-level indexes with the highest weight were internal effectiveness, informationization, and performance tracking and evaluation, with values of 0.180, 0.156 and 0.115, respectively. The third-level indexes with the highest weight were the construction level of performance management information integration platform, the incentive degree of hospital performance management system to employees, and the scope of performance tracking and evaluation, with values of 0.156, 0.075 and 0.073. The third-level index quantitative scoring rules covered the management activity points that were easy to collect via investigation. Among them, the feasibility of 22 scoring rules were recognized by all the 15 experts, 5 rules were recognized by 14 experts, and 2 rules were recognized by 13 experts. A standardized survey questionnaire covering 25 questions was established based on four third-level indexes: the level of understanding, recognition, satisfaction, and motivation of employees towards the hospital performance management system. The importance scores of each question ranged from 7.43 to 8.71.Conclusions:This study developed a comprehensive suite of assessment instruments, including an index system, a set of quantitative scoring rules, and a standardized staff questionnaire, which could provide reference for hospitals to upgrade their internal performance management levels.
