Abstract

The public welfare attributes of public hospitals have been criticized, and the performance management of hospitals has also been questioned. Is our public hospitals "sick"? How to "treat" profit-only "symptoms" so that public hospitals can return to the mission of public welfare? This also starts with performance appraisal. This article analyzes the essence of performance management, deconstructs the system and process of performance management, and discusses the reform of performance management in public hospital management from three aspects: establishing a hospital performance management system, introducing a balanced score card, and formulating a hierarchical organizational performance management system. This enables public hospitals to weaken their profit-seeking motives, highlight the public welfare nature of public hospitals, and meet the requirements of residents' medical services. At the same time, this also preserves the operating efficiency and economic efficiency indicators of public hospitals, organically combines service quality with efficient operation, and maximizes social well-being.
