People Focus And Health Focus: Outcomes Of Performing A New Strategy For Hospital Management In PR China

摘要

A modern hospital operation has its focus on patient health. Along the development of economy and society, the concept of health changes. "to have a good health" is a good will of everyone in the 21st century. Therefore, on the basis of research of health policy, we firstly brought forward a new theory of "people focus" and "health focus" to direct Peking University Shenzhen Hospital's operation, a newly established hospital in the most economically developed city, Shenzhen, PR China. The new theory provides a practical principle for "health industry". This article touches with the theory's background, content, and operation strategy as well as the outcome of this new strategy -directed hospital management. Background And Content Of The Theory Development of human beingSince the 1990s, international health organization (WHO) has begun to shift its attention to human development, and considered people's demands and capabilities as the core of human development. WHO emphasizes that no damages should be imposed on the interests of people, neither on us, nor on our next generations. During this period, international organizations such as United Nations proposed the ideologies and strategies of sustainable development of human being, human health, social safety and protection, and developing capital. All of these items were illustrated in the documents of World Summit for Social Development, Copenhagen, 1995 and United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, 1992, which intended to promote worldwide human development through common efforts. According to the United Nations, development “should start with and lay its emphasis on human being”, with intention to enable that all human comprehensively participate in every aspects and area-countries and regions-involved in development activities1). As for the health industry, statistics from SARS, prevailed in some countries and regions this spring, indicated that medical personals are the most vulnerable to be attacked by the pathogens. During the spread of the SARS epidemics, many medical staff were infected severely and many of them died from SARS-CoV infection, a situation implied that it is not right to confine the target of medical service to patients. The medical service should be accessible to medical personals themselves as well as all others. Therefore, hospitals must pay their attentions to all people and their health. This is just in line with the demand on human development.Healthiness and Health QualityAccording to WHO, healthiness means not only the removal of diseases and weakness, but also the perfect physical, intellectual and social status. From this definition, healthiness must contain 3 elements, i.e. physical healthiness, psychological normality and mutual dependence and harmonious development between human and nature, society and social environment. This clarifies the wrong recognition that ‘human body without diseases is health”, promotes medicinal model shifting from “pure biological model” to “physiological psychological-social-environmental model”, and enhances medical mode shifting from simple treatment model to the model of integrated precaution, health care and colony as well as active participation as a one unit. Healthiness quality can be microscopically viewed as social adaptability of human body and psychological reaction of each individual, and macroscopically viewed as comprehensive response to human healthiness in a country or region. Setting up a well off in-all-rounds society, rather than an economic concept which is only measured by GDP, requests that besides economics development, efforts should be made to upgrade human's health, education, and social development, emphasize on factors affecting social development, so that we can realize healthy, harmonious and sustainable developments between human and society, human and nature, and among human being themselves.Human demand on healthinessSince humans have stepped into a new century, life
