Reform of public hospitals performance evaluation system in integrating target evaluation and focused evaluation

Building a better performance evaluation system for public hospitals is key to the ongoing health reform. To this end, Beijing Municipal Administration of Hospitals reformed the performance evaluation system of public hospitals in Beijing based on its experiences during 2012 to 2014. This reform integrates the target tasks, day-to-day performance, personalized performance, Party and people management performance, and mandatory plan performance as one evaluation integrity, forming a new public hospitals' performance evaluation system of multi-dimension and multi-level. This approach can effectively integrate diversified performance management objectives and overcome key difficulties in performance management, assisting further promotion of the approach, facilitating government objectives in managing the medical sector, promoting healthy development of hospitals, and exploring how to deepen the public hospital reform in terms of separating ownership from operations.
