Hospital category A and B refers to the state regulations of two different levels of medical institutions. Category A hospitals are the highest level of tertiary hospitals, with advanced equipment and professional medical team, and bear the heavier task of treatment. Category B hospitals are categorized according to the size and facility level of the hospital, and are divided into Level II and Level I, with relatively more advanced equipment and technology. The division of hospitals A and B is mainly to enable medical institutions to realize the classification management and functional division of labor, to ensure that patients can get standardized, professional medical services.
The different levels of hospitals A and B have differences in medical services. Category A hospitals, because they are at a higher level of medical technology and discipline building, have more medical resources and diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, and are able to provide more complex diagnostic and therapeutic services and surgical treatment. Category B hospitals, on the other hand, may have certain limitations in certain aspects and need to refer for some difficult diseases and diagnostic and treatment means.
The division of hospitals into Category A and B is intended to achieve rational synergy between different levels of healthcare organizations, and is also conducive to the supervision and management of healthcare quality by regulatory bodies. All hospitals must be managed in accordance with the prescribed classification standards to determine the scope of medical services and medical tasks to be undertaken to ensure the rapid development of medical institutions and improve the construction of the medical system. By constantly improving the level of medical science and technology, the gap between hospitals A and B will also gradually narrow, and constantly improve the public's trust and satisfaction with medical institutions.
