In order to establish objective, scientific, effective performance assessment system and strengthen government’s supervision on health service in our country, this research retrieved literature on relevant official UK websites and databases to get the whole picture of NHS (National Health Service) performance assessment policy, documents and reports. Based on the introduction of NHS Performance Assessment Framework (1999), NHS Performance Assessment Framework: Implementation Guidance (2009) and NHS Performance Rating, it summarized and analyzed the experience and measures of NHS Performance Assessment, which enlightened us in the following aspects: a) We should pay more attention to the performance assessment of national healthcare system and spread out the relevant work in China; b) Performance assessment is closely linked with national health policy and its strategic focus; c) Performance assessment centers on quality; d) We should take performance assessment as a strategic tool to improve the healthcare system performance.
Objective To assess the performance of post-disaster reconstruction of Yushu earthquake at the first anniversary, so as to summarize the Yushu modes of post-disaster reconstruction and provide references for reconstruction work after extreme natural disasters at home and abroad. Methods All the materials seen during the first year after Yushu Earthquake were collected, such as all documents, information notifications and work reports issued by the Central Government and the Ministry of Health, and all the information from the website of News Office of the State Council, the Ministry of Health, Qinghai Provincial People’s Government, and Xinhuanet. The literatures about Yushu Earthquake were also searched from CNKI. All the data were retrospectively analyzed to describe the reconstruction tasks and summarize the effectiveness. Results?a) The reconstruction faced upon special difficulties, including short construction time, cold climate and hypoxia, poor transport, lack of construction resources, economic backwardness, weak logistics and higher cost of reconstruction; b) The performance was significant, e.g., the government completed an investment of 5.01 billion yuan. The goal of urban and rural housing construction was fully completed. Public and municipal infrastructure construction made an important breakthrough. The projects related to livelihood were rapidly implemented. The counterpart’s education at remote was basically completed. Conclusion?As the largest reconstruction in the highest altitude area after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, Yushu’s reconstruction learns from the experience in Wenchuan, keeps the foothold of its own features and conditions, challenges the limits of high altitude with cold and hypoxia climate, forms a post-disaster reconstruction mode with Chinese characteristics, demonstrates the speed and quality of reconstruction, and provides the valuable experience for domestic and foreign counterparts.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the operation status of the clinical departments of a hospital through the establishment of the evaluation index system and comprehensive evaluation model.MethodsThe data on workload, service difficulty, service efficiency, health economics and other related indicators of the clinical departments of a hospital from January to June 2018 were collected. The comprehensive evaluation model was constructed by comprehensive scoring method. The data of each index were centralized, then the comprehensive evaluation model of clinical departments was established and the scores were calculated by weighted summation. Microsoft Excel 2010 and SPSS 17.0 software were used for data processing.ResultsThere were certain differences in comprehensive scores and detailed indicators among different clinical departments. Ranked by comprehensive scores, the top three surgical departments were Department of Thoracic Surgery (1.45), Department of Breast Surgery (1.32), and Department of Vascular Surgery (1.22), and the top three internal departments were Department of Oncology (5.76), Department of Cardiology (3.47), and Department of Hematology (3.41).ConclusionsIn general, there are some differences in the operating conditions among different departments. There are also differences in the detailed indicators among different departments. The results can be used to find out problems and gaps, and finally improve the operation of the departments.
