Abstract:
In the course of hospital regrouping it is imperative to integrate medical functions, resource elements and hospital cultures. Yet the integration of hospital cultures plays a pivotal role, for the culture of a hospital is the basis of its survival and development and cultural integration can lead to the fusion of the staffs feelings, values and concepts and to the coordinated development of the hospitals hardware and software, which will produce greater benefits. Ways of cultural integration include: ①doing a good job of intention surveys and ideological persuasion prior to hospital regrouping; ②adopting different forms of cultural fusion for different forms of regrouping: with unbalanced regrouping, the cultures of the weaker hospitals should not be totally negated and attention should be paid to equality and impartiality, whereas with balanced regrouping, efforts should be made to enhance communications rather than to differentiate the primary and the secondary; ③giving full play to the role of informal organizations within the hospital in the fusion of different cultures.
