Abstract:
Objective:To establish a comprehensive evaluation index system based on government supervision for private hospitals to standardize their management and guide their healthy operation with standardized, quantifiable assessment criteria.Methods:Through literature review, regulatory challenges and key issues in private hospital management were identified. Drawing on public hospital performance evaluations and hospital accreditation standards, a three-tiered evaluation index system was developed across four dimensions: legal establishment and practice, service capability and quality & safety, operational management, and comprehensive evaluation. The Delphi method was employed to screen indicators and determine their weights, followed by empirical research to validate the system.Results:The response rate for both rounds of expert consultation was 100%, with an authority coefficient>0.85. Indicators were optimized based on the following criteria: mean scores for importance, feasibility, and sensitivity>3.5; coefficient of variation<0.1; and Kendall′s coefficient of concordance P<0.05. The final comprehensive evaluation system consisted of 4 first-level indicators, 10 second-level indicators, and 49 third-level indicators. The evaluation of 6 private hospitals was basically consistent with the actual situation of the hospitals and the understanding of the health management department on the hospitals. Conclusions:The validated evaluation index system could provide a multi-dimensional, objective assessment of private hospitals, offering quantifiable criteria for management and serving as a reference for government oversight to promote standardized development.
