How to judge whether it is public or private in Shanghai Eye Hospital
Shanghai is a big city in China and one of the medical centers in China. Many hospitals provide services for patients, among which eye hospitals are particularly important for patients with eye diseases. When patients go to Shanghai to seek ophthalmic medical services, a common problem is how to determine whether the ophthalmic hospital is public or private. Next, we will elaborate on the hospital name, operation mode, medical insurance fixed-point and investment subject.
1. Hospital name
As a public hospital, Shanghai Eye Hospital usually prefixes its name with "Shanghai", such as "Shanghai Eye Hospital", which is a naming standard for public hospitals directly managed by the Shanghai Municipal Government. The names of private eye hospitals are usually diversified, often with brand effects, such as "East China Eye Hospital".
In addition, in the name of hospitals, public hospitals often have a clear positioning of medical institutions, such as "city level", "district level" and other words, while private hospitals pay more attention to brand names, usually adding words in medical technology or specialized fields to highlight their characteristics and competitiveness.
2. Operation mode
The operation mode is an important symbol to distinguish public hospitals from private hospitals. Public hospitals are usually funded by the government or social organizations and bear social public welfare responsibilities according to law. Its business nature focuses on public welfare and aims at social health; Private hospitals, with the goal of making profits, are mostly invested and built by enterprises or private non enterprise organizations, and operate in accordance with the law.
In addition, public hospitals usually have research institutes to carry out medical research and provide support for medical education and training. Private hospitals have relatively little investment in scientific research and education.
3. Medical insurance fixed-point
Medical insurance designation is also an important basis for judging the nature of hospitals. Public hospitals are usually designated hospitals for medical insurance. They receive payment from social medical insurance funds, sign medical insurance contracts with governments at all levels, provide medical insurance services, and provide a certain proportion of expense reimbursement for patients. Private hospitals need to decide whether to participate in medical insurance and sign a contract with the medical insurance department.
It should be noted that although most public hospitals are designated by medical insurance, some hospitals are purely self funded and do not accept medical insurance payment. Therefore, when choosing a hospital, patients should pay attention to confirm whether the hospital is designated for medical insurance.
4. Investor
The investor is also an important factor to distinguish the nature of hospitals. Public hospitals are mostly invested by the government or owned by the whole people, with the purpose of serving public health. Private hospitals, on the other hand, are mainly invested by enterprises or private non enterprise organizations, and their business objective is to make profits.
It is worth mentioning that in recent years, with the development of hospital reform and market economy, public hospitals have gradually introduced social capital or carried out mixed ownership reform to improve the quality and efficiency of medical services. Therefore, the investor is not the only basis to judge whether the hospital is public or private.
summary
Through the analysis of hospital name, operation mode, medical insurance fixed-point and investment subject, we can relatively accurately judge whether the ophthalmic hospitals in Shanghai are public or private. When choosing hospitals, patients can make appropriate choices according to their own needs, medical security and economic capacity to obtain high-quality ophthalmic medical services.
