Abstract:
Objective By analyzing the effect of adopting the responsibility system for entrusted asset management targets in some public hospitals the paper aims to explore the feasibility of doing so as to provide lessons for the reform of public hospitals in China. Methods Interviews of focus groups and surveys through questionnaires were conducted to find out about reform in the management of public hospitals in Wuxi City of Jiangsu Province, including successes and problems. Results Some problems remain to be solved while effects have been achieved in the entrusted management of public hospitals. Conclusion Reform of hospitals through entrusted management is currently a way of deepening the reform of public hospitals. Some preliminary conditions are already in place for reform in the system of public hospitals, yet support is stili needed in terms of sound policy and environment.
