Chapter 675: Burn surgery is not profitable(1/2)

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there is a hospital affairs meeting in the large conference room on the third floor of the Vietnam-China People's Hospital.

Just after the New Year, every unit has to hold an outlook meeting. This kind of meeting is usually "retreaty", that is, each department talks about the work goals and prospects for the new year.

Anyway, everyone is just bragging. Chen Qi was sitting on the podium and listened to every word, his mind kept thinking about his eldest sister's blind date.

Each of the directors spoke in ecstatic terms, spitting, and then secretly observed the dean's face to see if their words were satisfactory.

To be honest, the directors of the clinical department of Yuezhong Hospital really like Chen Qi as the director.

Why? Because Chen Qi gave the directors the greatest freedom and completely delegated power.

Chen Qi's thinking is a bit like Taoism's "governing by doing nothing". Perhaps to put it bluntly, it means making each department "autonomous".

He will not dictate how many tasks each department must complete or how much business it must increase.

It won't tell you which department you want to buy which medicine or equipment you want to buy. You have to get the nod from Dean Chen.

(Under normal circumstances, whether the dean nods or not depends on whether your medical representative can provide support. This is a matter of concern. Many deans cling to the purchasing power and absolutely cannot leave it to the departments to make free choices.)

As the head of the dean, Chen Qi will not interfere, nor will he ask for this black money, and will fully delegate power to the directors and section chiefs of each department.

As long as you think that buying this equipment or purchasing this medicine will help your clinical business, then purchase it.

But things are not that simple.

Since I, the dean, have delegated power to you, if your department still fails to make a career, or if someone reaches out and takes black money, you will have to bear the consequences yourself.

Another thing is, after the drugs and equipment come in, if your department's business still cannot improve, then I'm sorry, based on performance-based salary assessment, the income of your entire department's doctors and nurses will be significantly reduced.

Therefore, Chen Qi's method of managing the hospital is also very simple, which is to adopt the "leadership model".

This neighborhood model supports several specialty departments, such as gastroenterology, burn surgery, plastic surgery, hand surgery, and an emergency department.

These five departments currently have the most patients, the highest business volume, and the average income of employees is more than twice that of other departments. The emergency department is the highest, reaching three times the average income.

Originally, everyone received a salary of 200 yuan a month, and they all worked the same amount. People are lazy, so there were not a few employees who wanted to eat from the big pot.

This group of people can be said to be the key employees of the hospital. If you take drastic measures to break the old distribution system, there will always be some employees who cannot do their job well and will be the first to cause trouble.

If reports and complaints are flying all over the place and employees are always imitating it, then the reform of Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital will definitely not be carried out. In order to maintain stability, the superior leaders will eventually let Chen Qi compromise.

Chen Qi's approach is not to touch the interests of these lazy quacks, but to support a few typical examples first.

For example, when all hospital employees generally receive a monthly salary of 200 yuan, a gastroenterologist can earn about 500 yuan a month. Just tell me whether you are envious or not.

Good guy, the emergency department is even more awesome. The monthly income of doctors can reach an astonishing 6,700 yuan. Just say you are not jealous.

It's okay to be envious and jealous, then just roll up your sleeves and work hard.

The advantage of this is that two department directors have been dismissed by the doctors within the department due to insufficient leadership skills, and smart and capable doctors have been re-elected as department directors.

There is no need for the dean to act as a villain. This kind of self-repair and purification is exactly what Chen Qi wants to achieve.

Others release their military power over a glass of wine, but Chen Qi releases his military power through business.

Therefore, it is relatively easy for Chen Qi to be the dean. In addition, Comrade Lao Guo is in charge of business and administration, so Chen Qi can basically practice with peace of mind.

Just when Chen Qi was in a state of bliss, it was Shan Xintong's turn to speak, and then Chen Qi's dream was shattered.

"President Chen and Guo Shuji, our hospital currently has a balance of 2.87 million yuan in its accounts. There was no loss in 1989. This is a gratifying good thing and shows that our hospital's business income is in a virtuous cycle."

As soon as the big housekeeper reported the accounts, the middle-level cadres in the conference room all smiled.

The hospital paid out a sum each on New Year's Day and Spring Festival, adding up to an average of 1,200 yuan per person. As a result, there was still such a surplus, which has set a historical record for the People's Hospital.

You must know that at this time, most hospitals across the country are on the verge of financial collapse. Let alone paying year-end benefits, it will be good if they can pay the full salary for the year, and forget about bonuses.

The Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is definitely the only one where scorpions poop, causing a sensation in the national health system.

Lao Guo also smiled and said:

"How about it? I must have a vision. When Chen Qi was still in Huang Tan, I planned to bring him to work in the People's Hospital. I remember that when I transferred Chen Qi to work in the People's Hospital, there were still people gossiping behind his back.

, saying that I opened the back door for my godson.

Now you see, when I was the president, although our People's Hospital lived a good life, it was only a little better than the brother hospitals. Good guy, when Chen Qi became the president, the income gap suddenly widened.

Can the hospital still compete with us?"

Hahaha, everyone in the conference room laughed.

Only Lao Guo in the whole hospital can say this. Whoever says otherwise is stupid and is waiting to be slapped to death by Lao Guo's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Others are relaxed, but Section Chief Shan cannot be relaxed because his report also looks into the financial situation for the next year.

"But comrades, we are all too happy. In the next year, the new twin buildings of our hospital will be completed. Although the project funds have been secured, we still need to pay for the decoration, ward furniture and office furniture.

The departments all report that they need new equipment, which all costs money.

In particular, Director Chen also instructed that the endoscopy center building, also known as the Prince Building, should build 20 new operating rooms alone, using the latest international standards. This is another huge sum of money. Everyone thinks, just rely on our accounts.

Is a few million dollars enough?"

Section Chief Shan looked at Chen Qi.

Chen Qi was shocked and blurted out: "Don't look at me, I have already spent 2 million of the 10 million US dollars, and there is still much use left."

Lao Guo tapped the table:

"Old Dan, what was the net profit of each department last year? Which department was the most profitable? Are there any potentials that can be tapped in other departments?"

"Guo Shuji, the most profitable departments last year were of course the Department of Gastroenterology and Plastic Surgery. The net profits generated by them accounted for half of the entire hospital. However, it needs to be noted that the Department of Plastic Surgery was merged halfway, and the potential is still unclear.

In addition, Dr. Chen advocated that the newly established Burn Surgery Department was very successful in terms of revenue generation and achieved both social and economic benefits. However, the net profit was not as high as everyone imagined.

From the establishment of the Burn Surgery Department to the end of the year, it had done a total of 1.06 million in business, which is very impressive for a new department. However, the net profit only reached a fraction of 60,000. This number obviously does not contribute much to the financial revenue of the whole hospital.

Big effect.”

Boom, this conclusion shocked everyone.

Everyone thinks that the burn surgery department has patients coming in and out every day, and many of them are seriously ill, so the money spent on medical treatment is like water. It only takes a long time to make a lot of fun, and you don't make much money.

In this way, Dean Chen's magical method of making money failed for the first time.

Chen Qi knew why the profit of burn surgery was less than 6 points, and this reason also made him deeply helpless.

At this time, Zhu Huoyan, as the director of the Department of Surgery, explained:

"The burn surgery department is mainly managed by Director Luo and I. Dean Chen also has high hopes. As for why the business is so high and the profit is so low, there is actually a special reason. It's not that our employees in the burn surgery department are not caring.

effort.

As we all know, burn patients are brought in urgently. For example, you have heard of the fried child in Chengbeiqiao a few days ago, right? After the child was sent to our hospital, he underwent all our efforts to rescue him, undergo endoscopic surgery and

Anti-inflammatory and anti-infective treatment, followed by skin grafting.

The total cost must be tens of thousands, but the child's family is poor and the parents have only scraped together 2,000 yuan. This means that the gap in treatment costs is at least 10,000 yuan, which is a huge amount.

Now the little patient is lying on the hospital bed with severe burns all over his body and is dying. Everyone is asking, as doctors, can we stop the child's medicine because he has no money to pay for medical expenses? Stop the treatment? Just watch the child die?

Not just this child, do you remember the poor mother and daughter in Huang Tan, who suffered 90% burns on their bodies. The combined medical expenses for these two people have exceeded 30,000, but the family will definitely not be able to afford this money.

Fortunately, these patients with extensive burns are of great academic research significance, and we have produced several papers because of them, which will most likely be published in the four top medical journals. However, a loss is a loss, and this money is really needed.

Our burn surgery fills.

The current situation is so embarrassing. Burn surgery can make money, and it can make a lot of money. But burn surgery can also lose money. A few patients who cannot afford medical bills can eat up all our profits.

It was quite good to have a balance of 60,000 yuan last year. If it weren't for the help of Yue Steel Factory, I might not have reached 60,000 yuan. If we continue to default on medical expenses this year, it will be difficult to maintain this balance of payments and we will lose money.

It’s a high probability event.”

Hiss~~~~

Everyone in the conference room gasped.

Yes, other departments, such as gastroenterology, are chronic diseases, so patients will definitely prepare money before going to the hospital for treatment.

However, burn surgery is an emergency, and patients are in emergencies. They are sent to the hospital for rescue as soon as possible, but they will die if they cannot pay the medical bills.

The "fried child" that Chen Qi brought back from Chengbeiqiao on the first day of the Lunar New Year now seems to be a hot potato. Continuing to treat it will cause huge losses. Failure to treat it is against medical ethics.

Faced with this dilemma, Chen Qi also had a headache:

"Yeah, this situation was something I didn't foresee. No wonder burn surgeries are only opened in the capital, Shanghai, provincial capitals and other big cities, because most of the burn patients in these big cities are workers, and workers are paid for public medical care.

The hospital doesn't have to worry about running a deficit.

But in our Yuezhong hospital, most of the burn patients we receive are ordinary citizens and farmers. Small burns are fine, but at worst they can be tolerated if they cost hundreds or thousands. If you really spend tens of thousands, you will definitely have to default on the bill, which is troublesome.

, a serious patient lost tens of thousands, and all the money earned from a mild patient was filled in.

If what I say today is heard by ordinary people in the society, they will definitely scold me as a director who has bad moral character and only cares about money. But our People's Hospital now has 1,780 employees to support, and I want to buy more advanced medical equipment.

Medical equipment all costs money.

Without money, I have no choice, so if the burn surgery department continues to suffer losses for a long time, no matter how successful it is academically or how well-known it is among the people, it will eventually have to close down and go out of business. In the end, the patients will suffer, and they will have no way to seek medical treatment."

After everyone in the conference room heard this, they all sighed, and the conference room fell into silence for a while.

The marketization of medical care is easy to say, but it is really difficult for hospitals and patients.

Lao Guo turned his head and looked at Chen Qi and said:
