Abstract:
Objective:To analyze status quo and trends of VIP services in the tertiary public hospitals of Shang-hai and provide references for health administrative departments. Methods:Health policies of VIP services in tertiary public hospitals were searched and analyzed, and the number of medical institutions, services, prices and service fees were analyzed from 2011 to 2013 . Results:There is a clear demand for VIP services in the tertiary public hospi-tals of Shanghai, and fees for rooms, nursing, and examinations for outpatient and inpatient care are decided by the hospitals. 89. 7% of the tertiary public hospitals in Shanghai offered VIP services, and the trend was steadily grow-ing. The four services that could be decided by hospitals varied greatly, and the service fees for inpatient care in-creased significantly. The total cost of VIP services in the tertiary public hospitals of Shanghai accounted 6. 2% of all costs, and the percentage of income from drugs was lower. Conclusions:VIP services in public hospitals have a his-torical necessity;management should be strengthened in the short term;public hospitals should strengthen their own management and provide VIP services regularly, and health administration departments should strengthen regulation. In the long run, it is suggested that public hospitals should draw lessons from international experiences to form a pat-tern of multi-level medical services and actively carry out cooperation with private medical institutions.
