The Storm of Health Care: The Phenomenon of "Picky Eaters" in Hospitals Revealed
This is not a new dish, but a hot topic in the medical industry right now! In this era of DRG payment reform, hospitals have also begun to become "picky". Why? You don't know what DRG is? To put it simply, it is to pay according to the group related to disease diagnosis, and the government wants to control the cost of medical care in this way. But as a result, in order not to be "suffered", hospitals began to say "no" to "difficult bones" - those complex cases with high treatment costs!
Come to think of it, this medical reform was supposed to make the allocation of medical resources more rational, so that doctors can focus more on treating diseases and saving lives. But who would have thought that this time it would be good, and the hospitals played the game of "picky eating" in order to protect themselves. Isn't this forcing us patients to "shop around" to see which hospital is willing to accept a "high-cost" patient like ours?
To be honest, the original intention of this medical reform was good, but how did it change its flavor when it was implemented? Just like the old saying, "the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny". Hospitals are not charities, so they have to think about their own financial interests. But as a result, patients who need high treatment costs suffer. Not only do they have to endure the pain, but they also have to travel around looking for a hospital willing to take them in.
But then again, it's not all the hospital's fault. After all, under the DRG payment system, if a hospital accepts a complex case with a high cost of treatment, once the cost exceeds the DRG payment standard, the excess will have to be paid by the hospital out of its own pocket. Whoever this is changed has to be weighed.
But having said that, although the road to health care reform is tortuous, we should not give up on the pursuit of fairness and justice. The National Health Insurance Administration is also aware of this problem and is gradually improving the DRG payment system, making the grouping more reasonable and the weight more reflective of the labor value of medical staff. Isn't that what we want to see?
So, although the storm of health care reform is fierce, as long as we work together, we can always find that balance. Let the hospital no longer be a "picky eater", so that patients can get the treatment they deserve. Isn't that what we all want?
A strange phenomenon under medical reform: hospitals are also "picky eaters"?
Even hospitals have begun to be "picky eaters", have you heard of this? This is not my nonsense, but under the DRG payment reform, hospitals have to take the next policy in order to protect themselves.
To put it simply, the government wants to control medical costs and improve the efficiency of medical resources through a new payment method. But who knows, this time it can make the hospital urgent. In order not to be "pitted", they began to say "bye-bye" to complex cases with high treatment costs.
Come to think of it, this would have been a good thing, to optimize the allocation of medical resources, so that doctors can focus more on treating diseases. But as a result, it turned into a "picky eater" competition between hospitals. Isn't this forcing us patients to "compare prices" to see whose hospital is more "affordable"?
To be honest, the starting point of this medical reform is good, but how can it be implemented and it will change its taste? As the saying goes, "the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel." Hospitals also have to support their families, so they can't just lose themselves in order to treat diseases and save people, right?
However, patients who need high treatment costs are suffering. Not only do they have to face the torment of illness, but they also have to run into walls everywhere to find a hospital that is willing to accept them. Isn't this forcing them to eat "closed-door soup"?
But then again, the hospital can't be blamed for this. Under the DRG payment system, if the hospital receives a complex case, it will have to pay for it beyond the payment standard. This has to be pondered by anyone.
But fortunately, the National Health Insurance Administration has been aware of this problem and is gradually improving the DRG payment system. Making the grouping more reasonable and the weights more scientific is not the result we want?
Therefore, although there have been a lot of "jokes" in this medical reform, as long as we work together and work together, we can always find a solution. Isn't it our common goal to stop being picky eaters and let patients get the treatment they deserve?
Hospital "picky eater" turmoil
Hey, have you ever heard of hospitals being "picky eaters"? This is not a joke, hospitals are really getting better at "picking" patients!
This is all "attributed" to the recent DRG payment reform. What is DRG? It's a new thing that the government has come up with in order to control the cost of medical care. But as soon as this thing came out, the hospitals began to ponder: Oh, this complicated case can't be taken casually, and if you receive too much, you will lose money!
As a result, there is a phenomenon of "picky eating" in hospitals. For those cases with high treatment costs and complicated conditions, the hospitals have said: You should ask for another master! Our temple here is small, and we can't accommodate your big Buddha!
This can make it difficult for those who need treatment. They went to the hospital because they were not feeling well, but the hospital still refused to accept them! Didn't this force them to beg their grandfather to sue their grandmother?
To be honest, the original intention of this medical reform is good, and it wants us patients to get better medical care. But this reform, fortunately, hospitals have begun to "picky eaters". Isn't this forcing us to buy more expensive "tickets"?
But you can't blame the hospital for this. They also have to make money to support their families, and they can't just smash their jobs in order to cure diseases and save people, right? But then again, there must be a bottom line to make money! You can't push patients out of the door just to make money!
Fortunately, the National Health Insurance Administration is also aware of this problem and is gradually improving this DRG payment system. In the future, I hope that the hospitals can be less "picky" and provide more real medical services to patients!
Negative effects
The phenomenon of "picky eating" in hospitals caused by the DRG payment reform has caused a strong response among the people. Many patients said they felt "screened" by the hospital, questioning the fairness of the healthcare system. Medical experts have also expressed concern that such reforms could undermine the credibility and professionalism of the medical industry. There are even some radical voices pointing out that this is the government shirking its responsibilities and shifting the economic pressure onto hospitals and patients.
In the maelstrom of health care reform, we have seen the game of interests between hospitals, doctors and patients, as well as the difficult choices faced by policymakers. Medical reform is not only an adjustment of economic policy, but also a profound consideration of social fairness and justice. We hope that policymakers will be more prudent and thoughtful in advancing reforms to ensure that everyone's right to health is not ignored or violated. At the same time, we also call on the whole society to work together to build a more equitable, efficient and humane medical system, so that everyone can enjoy the medical services they deserve.
