China Hospital Management Intervention Experiment

“China Hospital Management Intervention Experiment Based on World Management Survey (WMS)” is a routine general project funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 71773002). It is co-chaired by Professor Gordon Liu from the Institute of Global Health Development of Peking University and Professor Tingfang Liu from the Institute of Hospital Management of Tsinghua University. This project is based upon WMS methodology and is the first study that has carried out an international validated study and provide quantitative, rigorous scores of hospital management in China. Also, it is innovative in systematically enhancing hospital management through economic experiment approach. Specifically, the database created from China Hospital Management Survey will enable us to compare the hospital management performance of international and China hospitals, and to conduct comprehensive analyses of determinants of Chinese hospital management. Furthermore, through experimental economics method, we can test the causal relationship between hospital management practice and performance across four dimensions: standardizing care, performance monitoring, target setting and talent management. This study will provide an empirical basis for the development of relevant policies to improve hospital management quality, hospital management, and better shape health governance in China.
