Abstract:
To genuinely orient our service towards the needs of patients, we modified the wards in our hospital, turning previous wards housing 8 to 10 patients each into medium-sized and small ones, with each one having a separate toilet, balcony, and air conditioner, meeting the diversified needs of patients, and attracting more patients to seek service at the hospital. As a result, in 2000, as compared with 1999, the number of emergency outpatients increased by 14.4%, the number of discharged patients increased by 16.2%, the average ratio of bed usage increased by 9.0%, the turnover rate of beds increased by 6.8%, the average length of stay dropped by 7.0%, income from outpatient service increased by 43.9%, the proportion of income from the sale of pharmaceuticals in the total business income dropped by 10.5%, and the annual business income increased by 18.9%.
