适应医疗保障制度改革　加强医院经济管理

Meet the medical security reform and strengthen the hospital economic administration

职工医疗保障制度的改革试点工作已由镇江、九江两市扩大到全国５０多个城市。医院面对各种材料和能源价格上涨、病人可以选择不同医院就医以及财政对医院补偿不足的局面，靠销售药品赚取批零差价和利用大型医疗设备的检查为医院创收等生存手段受到了严格限制。医院只有以医疗保障制度改革为契机，在服从国家宏观调控的前提下，争取主动，采取着重内涵建设、加强经济管理、调整医疗服务内容、实行科室成本核算等措施，提高工作效率，才能逐步走上健康发展的轨道。

The reform experiment on workers' medical security system has been carried out in the two cities of Zhenjiang and Jiujing and over to the other 50 cities. Facing the price hikes of materials and energy, the buyers' medical service market of the patients, and the insufficiency of governmental financial assistance, hospitals have a hard time tiding themselves over the economic difficulties by increasing revenue through the sale of drugs to the patients and by charging high fees through the patients' use of large and sophisticated equipment of the hospitals. Those two money raising steps naturally meet the resistance of the patients who could avoid the hospitals they think too expensive. What hospitals can do is to take advantage of the medical security system reform, try active measures, carry out intensive construction, tighten economic administration, adjust medical services to be provided, practise departmental cost accounting, and level up service efficiency to fall in the orbit of healthy and normal development.
