Objective:In recent years,the economic operating risks of public hospitals are gradually increased.Conducting a scientific assessment of hospital debt risk is crucial to preventing hospitals from falling into financial distress.It aims to evaluate the debt risk of public hospitals in Shenzhen,with a particular focus on the impact of special bonds on debt risk.Methods:Based on the 2022-2023 financial reports and data on special bondsof public hospitals in Shenzhen,factor analysis was employed to assess the debt risk of public hospitals with and without special bonds.Results:Tertiary hospitals,municipal hospitals,specialized hospitals,and general hospitals generally exhibited lower debt risk.Factors related to debt risk primarily included cash flow variables such as medical service income,net assets,and debt repayment capacity indicators,including current ratio and cash ratio.When considering the impact of special bonds,the weight of cash flow indicators and long-term debt repayment capacity indicators increased.Debt risk for municipal hospitals shifted towards higher-risk levels,while district-level hospitals saw a shift towards lower-risk levels,particularly for district-level traditional Chinese medicine hospitals.Conclusion:The debt risk of public hospitals in Shenzhen is significantly influenced by special bonds.It is recommended to strengthen the management of special bond funds,optimize hospital cash flow,and improve debt repayment capacity to reduce debt risk.

Objective:This study aims to explore how urban medical groups can empower the scientific research development of primary hospitals through collaborative efforts, providing experience reference for the research construction of medical consortiums.Methods:Taking the Shenzhen Dapeng New District Medical and Health Group as an example, the study examined the impact of the group′s establishment on the research capabilities of primary hospitals in terms of research spirit, team and facilities. It summarized the group′s efforts to promote primary hospital research outcomes through various measures, including establishing funds, building mechanisms, setting up platforms and implementing stratified training.Results:The number of research projects approved by the group had significantly increased, with participation in national key research and development projects as sub-centers for cohort studies. The publication volume of SCI papers had continuously climbed. The integration of research and clinical practice had promoted the introduction of new technologies, significantly enhancing diagnostic and treatment capabilities and public satisfaction.Conclusions:Urban medical groups can address challenges such as the scarcity of research resources in primary hospitals through collaborative mechanisms, offering a replicable pathway for research capacity improvement. However, there is still room for improvement, including deepening the cultivation of scientific research talents and improving the support system to promote the sustainable development of primary hospital research.
