How are hospitals graded?

It is divided according to the scale of the hospital (size, staffing, hardware facilities, scientific research capabilities)

It is divided into three levels: one, two and three

Each level has A, B, C, and three levels

Third A hospitals are the best, followed by triple B

After the restart of hospital rating evaluation, three levels and nine levels are used to divide the grades. Adhering to the "six-fold and three-no" principle, that is, emphasizing service, emphasizing management, emphasizing quality, emphasizing safety, emphasizing foundation, emphasizing guarantee, not engaging in sports, not engaging in formalities, and not engaging in fraud, private hospitals can participate in the rating assessment on an equal basis with public hospitals. . The main assessment items include medical services and management, medical quality and safety, technical level and efficiency. A 1,000-point system is implemented, with scores above 900 being rated as Grade 3A, scores between 750 and 900 being graded as Grade 3B, and scores between 600 and 750 being graded as Grade 3C. There is no tenure system at the hospital level and dynamic management is implemented. In addition, the comprehensive evaluation standards for medical quality highlight the "patient-centered" service concept, requiring hospitals to regularly collect patient opinions and hold patient opinion symposiums every quarter. Hospitals must also set up free drinking water supply, public telephones, implement electronic telephone appointments for diagnosis and treatment, etc., require laboratory test reports to produce results within 24 hours, publicize charging prices, provide fee inquiries, and implement a fee list system.

1Tertiary hospitals mainly refer to municipal hospitals directly under the national, provincial and municipal levels and hospitals affiliated with medical schools

2Second-level hospitals mainly refer to general municipal and county hospitals and District-level hospitals in provincial cities, as well as employee hospitals of considerable industrial, mining, enterprises and institutions

3 First-level hospitals mainly refer to rural township and town health and urban street hospitals

Levels Hospital management divides hospitals into first, second, third and special four levels. There are no grades A, B, and C in first-level hospitals; there are grades A, B, and C in second- and third-level hospitals. The classification of levels is based on the number of hospital beds: with less than 100 beds, the township health center is a first-level hospital; with more than 500 beds, it is designated as a third-level hospital, in principle, one or two at the provincial level and in each city; 500 beds Below, 100 or more are rated as Level 2. In addition to these three levels, there are also special levels, which refer specifically to those very large hospitals. As for the classification of A, B, and C, they are determined based on differences in technical level, medical conditions, management level, etc., that is, they are evaluated according to the requirements of the thousand-point system.
