What's wrong with medical staff's pursuit of "prosperous career"?
Recently, the medical staff of Jiangxi Shangrao No. 1 Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital raised their glasses and shouted, "Three departments will flourish in 2022", causing heated discussions.
Netizens said that when they heard such blessings, they couldn't help feeling "cold behind".
On February 12, the local health and health commission issued a situation report saying that the hospital involved has been instructed to deal with the relevant responsible persons seriously, and further investigations will be conducted on the departments and individuals involved, and will be dealt with seriously in accordance with regulations and disciplines according to the results of the investigation.
At present, it has become a very sensitive thing for medical institutions or medical staff to talk about performance.
Events such as the hospital's celebration of the substantial increase in the number of inpatients, the posting of "business is booming" couplets in the outpatient building, and the hanging of banners at the department's year-end summary meeting that read "The New Year is a new year, and the operating room is full of money" have all been criticized by public opinion.
This time, the medical staff expressed their desire to "prosperous career", which also caused a thousand waves.
The public is disgusted with medical staff celebrating the growth in performance, because they are worried that the medical treatment will have a strong copper odor.
In the past, the phenomenon of adding items during surgery, registering rebates while prescribing medicines, etc., made the public see that individual medical staff saw the money, and such growth in performance was based on the suffering of patients, which was unacceptable.
Furthermore, it is basic ethical common sense that nothing related to disease, death, etc. should be celebrated.
High-profile celebrations of hospital performance growth and even "prosperous business" are taboo among the public.
But we must also see that "it is better to put the medicine on the shelf, and I hope there are no patients in the world", which is an ideal.
Every industry has to think about survival, everyone wants to earn more, but it's the reality.
From an inclusive point of view, medical staff wishing "a prosperous career" can be understood as the pursuit of faster medical improvement, higher medical quality, and more fruitful medical research results.
If such congratulations are condemned, medical staff will either view performance negatively or simply lie.
Legitimate medical performance growth should not only be blamed, but encouraged.
For example, for the phenomenon of "patients in large hospitals get together to see a doctor, and grassroots hospitals are scattered", the growth of grassroots medical performance is a correction.
The medical reform has been strengthening the grass-roots level. Only when the grass-roots medical institutions are crowded, can medical resources be distributed evenly and seeing a doctor at your doorstep can become a reality.
In addition, in response to the problem of focusing on diagnosis and treatment and not on prevention, the business volume of medical institutions "preventive treatment" has greatly increased, which is also a good thing.
Therefore, the public should oppose the pursuit of profit-seeking and fraudulent medical business, but they should understand and tolerate legitimate performance growth.
From the perspective of medical staff, even if it is a legitimate pursuit of performance, it is necessary to pay attention to the way of expression. It is not from their own standpoint to "expect rapid growth in medical performance", but to "provide high-quality services" for them with patients as the main body.
Doctor-patient communication requires sincerity, emotional intelligence and skills, especially the feelings of the other party.
The fundamental way to eliminate such disputes is to accelerate relevant medical reforms.
Eliminate the use of medicines to support doctors, change the payment by project to payment by disease and other comprehensive methods, and include epidemic prevention, chronic disease management, etc. into performance. These measures can reduce the importance of the number of disease diagnosis and treatment to medical institutions, and can also reduce excessive diagnosis and treatment. become unprofitable.
Basic public health services with poor economic benefits but significant social benefits also need further attention.
Such a change will have a positive impact on the operation and management of medical institutions.
At present, the salaries of medical staff can be called "quantity incentives". If they become "quality incentives" and "contribution incentives", the salary will be decoupled from the income of diagnosis and treatment, and linked to quality and contribution, so that high medical quality and social contribution can be achieved. Large medical staff will receive higher honors and better treatment, then medical staff will change from the single pursuit of the number of diagnosis and treatment to the pursuit of medical quality and social contribution, and the topic of medical performance will gradually "desensitize".
