a better year ....

Our hospital hit the target set by the national health insurance bureau(NHIB)....a good news...but there is another impact coming on for this next few years...Due to the standard set down by the new hospital evaluation system - our current design could not coup with the standard and we will be building a new hospital and shifting to another part of the town. The new site location is better - more land, and it is just beside the main road. But the construction would eat up our profit and new staff shall be recruited - but no doctor prefered to work in this part of the country...

Well, I hope I made the right choice by coming back to work here...

 I heard this news from someone inside the NHIB, my ex-hospital did not make it to the regional hospital payment list eventhough they were rated as good during the hospital evaluation. According to the new evaluation system, all hospital will be rated as passed, good and excellent. Payment for each procedure/treatment would be graded into 3 class - the medical center grade, regional hospital grade and area hospital grade. In the past, hospital evaluated as regional hospital would be paid accordingly. But now, hospital would need to be ranked according to the evaluation score. Only certain % of hospitals rated as good would be pay according to the regional hospital grade. My ex-hospital was ranked only in the middle portion of the list. They might have nothing to loss - the budget allocated might still be the same and as payment pertreatment will be less , they would need to work harder to earn their previous load. But my ex-boss is running for Parliment seat lately and if he won the seat, things might change .....you just never know...
