Abstract:
This paper introduced the legislative development of community benefits system of nonprofit hospitals at federal level in the United States,as well as state legislatures in this regard. Based on America's experiences, an analysis was made on the "community benefits and health promotion model", which refers to community health needs assessment, health promotion programs, program implementation, supervision and appraisal. Thus the authors put forward inspirations for the social responsibility system development of public hospitals in China as follows. This refers to the establishment of hospitals' social responsibility system; development of community health promotion planning based on health needs;and establishment of social responsibility information disclosure system for fulfillment of their social responsibilities.
