1.Development of a performance evaluation indexing system in for-profit hospitals
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2009;25(1):45-48
This paper demonstrates the necessity for developing for-profit hospitals according to property right theories;It analyzed the inherent unity of social benefits and economic benefits in such hospitals,and clarified their business objectives.It put forward a process to build a performance evaluation indexing system in for-profit hospitals in view of the characteristics of such hospitals.Calling into play the performance management method of the balance scorecard,it identified the business objectives of such hospitals as measured by such performance indexes as finance,patients,process,and learning,and the logic relationship existing among the indexes as well.In addition,it vertically extends such a system to the departments and employees of the hospital to make a complete performance evaluation indexing system.

Objective:To evaluate the measurement agreement of Roche 25(OH)D immunoassay(evaluation method) with LC-MS/MS (reference method).Methods:A total of 909 residual serum samples from routine health check participants were collected from May to June in 2019. 25(OH)D concentrations were measured by evaluation method and LC-MS/MS, respectively. Passing-bablok regression, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), Bland Altman plots and Kappa test were used to analyze the consistency and bias on the results derived from the two measurement methods.Results:The 25(OH)D concentration derived from evaluation method was significantly different from those from LC-MS/MS method ( P<0.001). Slope of regression for evaluation method and LC-MS/MS was 0.962(95% CI 0.919-1.007), while intercept was -0.185 (95% CI -1.191-0.745). The ICC was 0.765 (95% CI 0.735-0.792). Altman plot showed that the average deviation between evaluation method and LC-MS/MS was -0.902 ng/ml (0.300%). The coincidence rate of evaluation method′s judgment of vitamin D sufficiency, insufficiency and deficiency with LC-MS/MS was 83.39%, and the weighted Kappa values was 0.790. Conclusion:Roche automatic 25(OH)D immunoassay shows acceptable correlation and agreement with LC-MS/MS, however, it is to note that the deviation between immunoassay and LC-MS/MS may lead to wrong judgment of vitamin D nutritional status. It is recommended that each laboratory should establish own corresponding reference values for 25(OH)D concentrations derived from these two methods.
