Private hospitals in China's booming development, in China's health care system reform has occupied a great weight. With the rise of these hospitals, the people reflected for many years the difficulty of access to health care and other issues have been resolved to a large extent, and by the pressure of competition in the market of these hospitals, some of the state-owned large hospitals have also been promoted in the medical equipment, quality of service.
Survival in the cracks, "specialty hospitals" has become the market choice of many private hospitals.
Many careful people have found that among the many private hospitals, specialty hospitals account for a large proportion.
"Take the road of specialty hospitals, in fact, we have no choice. Because we and public hospitals are not in the same starting line." On this issue, a number of private hospital managers expressed great helplessness.
In fact, although private hospitals have made great strides, but basically still generally in the situation of the seams for development.
The issue of health insurance is still the biggest problem for private hospitals. For example, Shanghai's 17 million resident population, about 10 million people enjoy basic medical insurance, private hospitals do not have the qualification of medical insurance can only serve the remaining 7 million people, and these 7 million people are also state-owned medical competition.
Additionally, private hospitals are plagued by an approval system for medical equipment. Now the hospital to introduce the price of more than 1 million yuan of large-scale medical equipment, must be approved by the health department, and the introduction of equipment each year, there is a certain amount, this one alone will be stuck in many private hospitals to the development of large general hospitals.
In this case, the specialties to counterbalance the public hospitals have become the most likely market winning strategy for many private hospitals.
Many hospitals take the road of specialization is there for a reason: First, specialists are relatively easy to find talent, and the second is that most of the specialist diagnosis and treatment of difficult and complicated diseases, such as liver disease, infertility, orthopedics, cancer, etc., the patient's price sensitivity is low, the market potential is good. Thirdly, many specialties mainly rely on the doctor's skills, precision equipment are generally not part of the large equipment category.
