Title: Insufficient hospital allocation, the disadvantages of zero price difference of drugs are exposed
Introduction: Hospital funding is insufficient, and the zero price difference system needs to be reformed urgently!
Hey, readers, have you ever wondered where every time you go to the hospital, you spend a lot of money, and in addition to the salaries of medical equipment and medical staff, there is another expense that you may overlook, and that is medicine. That's right, the ones that treat your various ailments. But did you know that many hospitals are part-time granted, which means they have to rely on their own income to support their medical staff? In recent years, the disadvantages of the zero price difference policy for drugs have been gradually exposed, which has brought a lot of trouble to the operation of hospitals. Today, let's take a closer look at this much-talked-about topic and see if there is an urgent need for reform!
Hospital operating pressure: Partial funding is an important reason
First, let's take a look at how hospitals work. You might think that hospitals are completely dependent on government funding to operate, but that's not the case. Many hospitals are part-time funded, meaning that government funding is not enough to support the hospital's full spending. This means that hospitals need to increase their revenues through other channels to stay afloat. Among them, the sale of drugs is an important source.
The implementation of the zero-spread policy: the original intention is good, but the reality is not
In order to protect the interests of patients, the mainland has implemented a zero-price difference policy for drugs, that is, there must be no difference between the price of drugs and the purchase price, so as to prevent hospitals from making huge profits through drugs. The policy was well-intentioned to allow patients to purchase essential medicines at lower prices. However, this is not the case. In order to cope with the operating pressure, many hospitals have to make up for the lack of income through other means, so there are some improper methods, such as increasing the frequency of examination items or prescribing drugs, etc., which indirectly lead to the tension between doctors and patients.
Challenges under the zero-spread system: Hospital operations are in trouble
Under the zero price difference system, the business situation of hospitals is becoming more and more severe. On the one hand, hospitals are unable to increase their profitability through drug sales, while on the other hand, their operating costs are rising, and medical equipment updates and salary increases for medical staff are putting more pressure on hospitals. As a result, many hospitals have to look for other ways to make money, such as raising fees for tests and treatments, and marketing medical services. Although these practices can alleviate the temporary operating pressure, they also further aggravate the conflict between doctors and patients, and affect the reputation and social image of the hospital.
The call for reform: break the shackles of zero price difference and seek a new path of development
In the face of the current dilemma of hospital operation, people have called for the reform of the zero price difference policy. On the one hand, it is necessary to revise the policy itself to make it more in line with the actual situation and reduce the operating pressure of the hospital, and on the other hand, it is also necessary for the hospital itself to actively adjust its business strategy and seek new development paths, such as strengthening hospital management, improving the quality of medical services, and expanding other sources of income. Only in this way can we truly solve the problem of hospital operation and inject new vitality into the development of medical and health undertakings.
Looking to the future: the hospital is ushering in new development opportunities
In my opinion, the reform of the zero-spread system is a top priority. Only by breaking the shackles of zero price difference can hospitals gain greater flexibility in their operations and better provide quality medical services to patients. At the same time, it is also hoped that the hospital can strengthen its own management, continuously improve the quality of service, and win the trust and respect of the society. It is believed that with the advancement of reform, the hospital will usher in new development opportunities and make greater contributions to the health of the people!
