Abstract:
By defining the connotations and delineating the process and goals of the sustainable development of hospitals in the transition period, the author sets forth the viewpoint that the core of the sustainable development of hospitals is "rational growth". Then by decomposing the organizational and operational structures of hospitals via the complex systemtheory, the author expounds the external policy and market environments hospitals are confronted with, arguing that the key element of the sustainable development of hospitals is "cohesion with the external environments". Next, based on the theories of endogenic resource allocation and economic growth, the author defines the industrial nature and features of hospitals and pinpoints the interaction between technology, equipment and human resources as the essential factor of the endogenic economic growth of hospitals, making clear that the source of the sustainable development of hospitals is "technological progress".
