The study is to establish the administrative ward round system and its effect evaluation system under the modern hospital management conditions, and explore the formation of a standardized, scientific and replicable standard mode of Administrative Ward round. According to the annual ward rounds plan, clinical departments and administrative departments were organized to decide the major issues of a department according to the procedures of " hearing-evaluation-discussion-decision " , and to ensure the implementation of management. Since 2016, administrative ward round has been carried out in 9 departments, and the medical quality and operational efficiency have been improved significantly. The closed-loop administrative ward rounds mode can effectively promote the modernization of hospital management system through the joint decision-making of clinical departments and functional departments.

The WHO declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020, and then a pandemic on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 affected over 200 countries and territories worldwide, with 25,541,380 confirmed cases and 852,000 deaths associated with COVID-19 globally, as of September 1, 2020. 1While facing such a public health emergency, hospitals were on the front line to deliver health care and psychological services. The early detection, diagnosis, reporting, isolation, and clinical management of patients during a public health emergency required the extensive involvement of hospitals in all aspects. The response capacity of hospitals directly determined the outcomes of the prevention and control of an outbreak. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost all nations and territories regardless of their development level or geographic location, although suitable risk mitigation measures differ between developing and developed countries. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the consequences of the pandemic could be more complicated because incidence and mortality might be associated more with a fragile health care system and shortage of related resources. 2-3 As evidenced by the situation in Bangladesh, India, Kenya, South Africa, and other LMICs, socioeconomic status (SES) disparity was a major factor in the spread of disease, potentially leading to alarmingly insufficient preparedness and responses in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. 4 Conversely, the pandemic might also bring more unpredictable socioeconomic and long-term impacts in LMICs, and those with lower SES fare worse in these situations. This review aimed to summarize the responsibilities of and measures taken by hospitals in combatting the COVID-19 outbreak. Our findings are hoped to provide experiences, as well as lessons and potential implications for LMICs.

Value-based healthcare emphasizes the importance of taking patients′ needs and experiences into full consideration during the entire diagnosis and treatment process and providing patient-centered medical services, so as to improve population health and medical outcomes with manageable medical costs.From this perspective, it is particularly important to investigate how patients could take full advantage of their subjective value and central role to engage in healthcare-related activities. This article aims to summarize the concepts and specific pathways relevant to patient engagement in the entire healthcare process, and provide specific suggestions and recommendations on promoting participation in health self-monitoring, access to disease and consultation information, shared decision-making(SDM)between doctors and patients, patients for patient safety(PFPS), patient-reported outcomes(PROs), participation in self-management, and participation in patient organizations, etc. This article provided valuable reference and evidence on implementation of relevant medical practices and policies.
