Abstract:
Encouraging and providing guidance to social forces to invest in health care industry is one of the key elements determined to deepen the health care reform.From four aspects of the unclear conception and undefinable functions of non-public hospitals, ambiguity of property rights of non-profit non-public hospitals, gradual reduction of traditional management measures, and deficiency of effective supervision on daily operations, this paper summarizes the major policy issues in non-public hospitals.To solve these problems, this paper conducts a systemic analysis of the historical experiences of the United States, Germany, Japan, and Taiwan.On this basis, this paper suggests that the government should clearly determine the connotation and extension of non-public hospitals, improve non-profit non-public hospital policy system, play a guiding role in planning and health insurance guidance, and strengthen the supervision of business operations.
