Compared to the mature monitoring and reporting system of ADRs in developed countries such as the USA and EU,medical institutions in China have played too much a role.Instead,local primary monitoring and reporting system of ADRs should expand their scope of monitoring and reporting,as drug makers,chain drugstores and retailers should develop an effective ADR monitor/report system as well.At present,such a primary system is plagued by insufficient budget and staff,imbalanced urban/rural layout and defective statements.Recommended measures include enhanced surveillance for drug makers,chain drugstores and retailers,for higher reporting ratio of ADRs at primary level; greater publicity and better monitoring and penalty mechanism; better platform for various organizations.
3.Building and application of the public welfare evaluation index system for public hospitals
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2013;29(11):816-819
Building a systematic public welfare evaluation index system for public hospitals is key to scientific evaluation of the public welfare positioning of public hospitals and enhancing their public benefit orientation,along with references for government decision making on macro health policies.The indexes were screened and pinpointed in two rounds of Delphi expert consultations,and index weights were determined with the variation coefficient method,initially building a public welfare performance evaluation index system for such hospitals,including eight class-1 indexes and 20 class-2 indexes.Outcomes of the system prove that the public welfare performance indexes of the two hospitals evaluated rise year by year from 2008 to 2010.
4.Incentive compatibility of medical workers as the inevitable choice for health reform to succeed
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2013;29(11):840-843
Adherence to public welfare and mobilizing incentives are key to promoting the health reform,and making it a success as well.It is imperative to comprehensively and correctly comprehend the importance of mobilizing medical workers in ensuring the reform a success,based on the present practice of the health reform and by views of philosophy,economics,and management.These principles should be followed in the design and perfection of the reform mechanism.

Objective To analyze allocation of health resources and utilization of health services,and evaluate the equity of health resources allocation and health services utilization.Methods Concentration curve and concentration index(CI)were used to evaluate the equity of health resources allocation in terms of health professionals,hospital beds,medical institutions,outpatient visits and hospitalizations in China.Results The CI for health professionals,hospital beds,and medical institutions is 0.038,-0.012,and-0.116 respectively.That for outpatient visits and hospitalizations is 0.111 and -0.023 respectively.Conclusion Health resources allocation in hospital beds and health professionals is fair,while the equity of medical institutions and outpatient service utilization needs to be improved.

Objective To explore how to determine the designated hospitals for critical illness scientifically and reasonably.Methods Analyzing the choice of medical providers by inpatients with critical illness,by means of the database of NRCMS in 2009~2010 in one county,Guangxi province.And analyzing the current policies on the basis of general principals used in health policy analysis.Results The choices of medical providers made by inpatients with critical illness are influenced by various factors.Choice of such hospitals should only be dependent on scientific and reasonable determination of patients' reasonable medical needs,instead of on the medical competency of the hospitals only.Conclusion Maximal cost-effectiveness should prevail,be it the class-1 demand of complete healing which is highly dependent on medical technology,or class-2 demand requiring repeated hospitalizations and not highly dependent on medical technology.Reasonable designation of hospitals for critical illness should be based on reasonable medical needs of patients,instead of medical competency of hospitals only.
