OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the comprehensive technical efficiency of the tertiary public hospitals in Beijing between 2006 and 2015 and explore its influencing factors, so as to propose corresponding policy suggestions. METHODS: The data envelopment analysis was employed to evaluate the comprehensive technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of the tertiary public hospitals in Beijing. Malmquist index model was used to analyze the changes of the above three dynamic efficiencies. Finally, randomeffect panel tobit model was utilized to analyze the influencing factors of the comprehensive technical efficiency. RESULTS: The average comprehensive technical efficiency and pure technical efficiency of the tertiary public hospitals in Beijing were relatively high, and they had respectively increased from 0.44 and 0.51 in 2006 to 0.62 and 0.68 in 2015, and the highest proportion of two kinds of efficiency values was between 0.5 and 0.8. Most of the scale efficiency values distributed between 0.8 and 1.0, and the majority of hospitals were in a state of decreasing returns to scale. The total factor productivity of hospitals had been increasing at an average rate of 5.78% per year due to the double progress of technical efficiency and technology at annual rates of 3.77% and 1.94% respectively, further decomposing technological efficiency change, and the pure technical efficiency change increased at the speed of 3.21% per year, and the annual average rate of progress in scale efficiency was only 0.53%. The comprehensive technical efficiency was positively correlated with the turnover rate of beds, annual visits per doctor, the ratio of doctors to nurses, and negatively correlated with the number of beds, the ratio of outpatients to inpatients, the proportion of medical technical personnel, and the proportion of drugs. CONCLUSION Future health policies should strictly control the scale of tertiary public hospitals, pay attention to the innovation and application of hospital technology, change the hospital internal management level and management model, promote refined management, and achieve sustainable development.

BACKGROUND: We measured productivity changes of regional public hospitals using both global Malmquist productivity index-based on global production possibility set over all the periods-and the traditional Malmquist productivity index and analyzed the factors of productivity change. METHODS: The data used in this study is two annual inputs and two annual outputs of 32 regional public hospitals in Korea from 2005 to 2009 and the results such as distances and Malmquist productivity index and global Malmquist productivity index are obtained by an R program written for this study RESULTS: The results can be summarized as follows. Firstly, technical efficiencies of regional public hospitals are affected largely by scale efficiency than pure technical efficiency. Second, productivity progressed and technological change has more significant influence on productivity advance over the period between 2005 and 2009. Third, the circularity problem of the traditional Malmquist index is confirmed, and so the global Malmquist index without this problem are valid for the analysis. CONCLUSION: Though this study also has some limitations with the data of regional public hospitals with a short time span, it is the first study of hospitals using global Malmquist productivity index and later it can be expanded to private hospitals and longer time periods.

An investigation of patient's service by the patient's compliance in public and private hospitals in An Giang province has shown that: quality of patient's service in private hospital was higher, even more predominant than this in public hospital, including health staff's attitude, materials and medical equipment, and hygiene. The private hospitals served subjects who had income and can pay the health and medical services. The private hospitals will develop because of increasingly requirement of consultation and treatment and increase of a paying ability of people.

OBJECTIVE: The national requirements for the fund management of scientific research projects are becoming more stringent, so that it is convenient to carry out scientific research work and can strengthen the regulation of scientific research reagent procurement, so this study explores the standardization of the whole process of the procurement of scientific research reagent supplies in hospitals and new modes of management. METHODS: By exploring the implementation of the centralized procurement management platform, we engage in full process supervision before, during, and after the event. RESULTS: Introduction of centralized procurement management platform for scientific research reagent supplies can normalize the procurement process, ensure the quality of procurement and improve the procurement efficiency on the basis of ensuring the quality of scientific research. CONCLUSIONS The new model of centralized procurement of full process management based on one-stop service for scientific research reagent supplies is an important part of improving the fine scale management of public hospitals, and it is of great significance in improving the level of scientific research in China and avoiding scientific research corruption.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of clinical education program for nurses in regional public hospital, utilizing the Kirkpatrick's model. METHODS: Kirkpatrik's 4-level model was applied to this study. Trainees were asked to fill out questionnaires in the middle and at the end of the program. Also administrators of excellent trainees were asked to fill out the questionnaires regarding nursing management performance after 1-2 months from the end of the training course. RESULTS: All trainees had positive reactions to the clinical education program. Not only the results of individual level (satisfaction and achievement scores, academic achievement scores, practical application rate, and educational transition factors) but also the scores of organization level (nursing management performance scores) are improved. CONCLUSION: By showing a correlation between the effectiveness factors we need to verify the relationship between these factors in a future study. In addition, development of quantitative and qualitative performance indicators are needed. To establish a long-term education system, it is required to applying the excellent trainee's successful experiences.

BACKGROUND: As health care workers face a wide range of psychosocial stressors, they are at a high risk of developing burnout syndrome, which in turn may affect hospital outcomes such as the quality and safety of provided care. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the moderating effect of job control on the relationship between workload and burnout. METHODS: A total of 352 hospital workers from five Italian public hospitals completed a self-administered questionnaire that was used to measure exhaustion, cynicism, job control, and workload. Data were collected in 2013. RESULTS: In contrast to previous studies, the results of this study supported the moderation effect of job control on the relationship between workload and exhaustion. Furthermore, the results found support for the sequential link from exhaustion to cynicism. CONCLUSION: This study showed the importance for hospital managers to carry out management practices that promote job control and provide employees with job resources, in order to reduce the burnout risk.

The pharmacy department plays an important role in hospital. Implementation of circular letter No 08/BYT-TTdated on 4th July 1997, most of hospital found the drug and therapeutic commission which improved the drug supply, management and administration. However, there has been being the irrational and unsafe drug use in some areas. The pharmaceutical representatives considered hospitals as area for drug business. Many resources of drug also was risk factor for drug quality and management.
