Application research on the sequence advance and retreat method in hospital performance appraisal system

Abstract

In hospital performance evaluation, significant differences in the work objects, work content and economic operation of various departments result in the lack of indicators comparability between different departments. This has become a prominent problem that hospitals have been unable to effectively solve for a long time, and has also affected the fairness of performance distribution to a certain extent. Starting from the dilemma of cost-benefit evaluation, the authors put forward the basic concepts of the sequence advance and retreat method, and comprehensively elaborated the implementation steps and operating points of the performance assessment using the sequence advance and retreat method. It is pointed out that the sequence advance and retreat method has four characteristics: weakening the differences between departments by vertical and horizontal combination, avoiding the deviation of guidance by scientific comparison, highlighting the incentive effect by grade differentiation, and reflecting the advantages and disadvantages by end adjustment. The value of this method in the hospital performance appraisal system is discussed from three aspects: promoting the de-profitization process of hospitals, achieving fair distribution of hospital performance, and strengthening the guidance of hospital performance management. Based on such studies, this article provides new methods and ideas for building a more scientific and fair performance evaluation system.
