Abstract:
Objective To formulate strategies for the construction of clinical specialty capabilities in hospitals,providing relevant experiences for peers to enhance clinical specialty capability development.Methods Taking a public hospital in Shenz-hen as an example,this study employs SWOT-PEST analysis to explore the external environment(opportunities and challenges)and internal environment(strengths and weaknesses)facing clinical specialty capability construction from four aspects:policy en-vironment,economic environment,social environment,and technological environment.Results The hospital's strengths include opportunities such as the construction of a national science city in the region,an aging population,and increased governmental fo-cus on the healthcare industry.Additional strengths include the integration of the hospital with community health services,strong support for key disciplines,and a deeply ingrained commitment to public welfare services.However,weaknesses include intense regional competition,the development of external internet hospitals,and increasingly strained doctor-patient relationships.The hospital also faces challenges due to inadequate research capabilities and levels,insufficient information technology infrastructure,and an incomplete internal incentive mechanism.Conclusion Based on the results of the SWOT-PEST analysis,the following strategies are proposed:SO Strategies(Strengths+Opportunities):Collaborate between the hospital and community health cen-ters;attract and cultivate talent to develop specialty clusters and key disciplines;and implement a comprehensive health manage-ment plan for the entire population and lifecycle in the region.ST Strategies(Strengths+Threats):Integrate management across various campuses and community health services,and pursue differentiated development.WO Strategies(Weaknesses+Opportu-nities):Engage in school-local collaborations for cross-disciplinary research innovation and translation;and deepen performance distribution reforms.WT Strategies(Weaknesses+Threats):Strengthen clinical research;enhance the hospital's information technology capabilities;and improve patient experience.Ultimately,these strategies aim to support the construction of clinical specialty capabilities within the hospital.
