Analysis of setbacks found in the existing system and mechanism of public hospitals. Based on the health reform principles of Separation of administration and management, Separation of administration and operation, Separation of prescribing and dispensing, and Separation of for-profit hospitals and nonprofit hospitals, the authors named the following roadmap for public hospital governance reform. First, set up a management committee for each public hospital to coordinate the government function for medical service; set up a public hospital authority to upgrade the management level of these hospitals; transform functionality of health authorities to encourage diversity in medical service providers. Second, establish the tiered decision making mechanism, autonomous operation system and diversified supervision system, to separate administration and management. Third, formulate articles of association for hospitals to encourage their evolution to legal entities, consolidating the government reforms by legal means.

Objective To understand time-effect relationship in prehospital emergency care of trauma patients so as to cut down mortality. Methods The data of pre-hospital deaths of trauma pa-tients were collected from 67 Shenzhen Emergency Network Hospitals during 2002-2004 and input into a database established by using Foxpro 6.0.Then, the data were analyzed by software SPSS 11.0. Re-sults A total of 161 364 trauma patients received prehospital emergency call service during 2002-2004 and 3 967 patients died prehospital or in hospital.There were 360.528 and 645 trauma patients died pre-hospitsl in 2002, 2003 and 2004 respectively, accounting for 32.57%, 37.69% and 44.25% respec-tively of whole trauma emergency patients in corresponding year.In 2002, 2003 and 2004 respectively, pre-hospital mortality was 1.15%, 0.88% and 0.99%, ratio of male to female 79.17/20.83, 77.65/22.35 and 71.63/28.37, the death age(29.04 ±13.98), (27.84±18.54)and(29.25±17.06)years old, ratio of traffic trauma to non-traffic trauma 48.33/51.67.26.14/73.86 and 37.98/62.02, the median response time of ambulance in hospital 2, 2 and 1 minute, the median time of ambulance arri-ving at the accident scene 5, 8.5 and 7 minutes and the median time of ambulance to and fro was 15.35 and 30 minutes. Conclusions There is a tendency that the number of the pre-hospital deaths of trauma patients increases, but that the ratio of traffic to non-traffic trauma and mortality decrease.The average age of dead trsuma patients is 10 years younger than that of whole emergency patients in the city of Shenz-hen.The response time of ambulance in hospital shortens, but the time of ambulance arriving accident 8cene and to and fro time of ambulance prolong.
