Hospital profits and economization trends are increasingly becoming the focus of discussions on improving health care systems. Profit-based approaches to generate hospital returns have an ethical dimension, because patient well-being must remain the primary concern. A needs-oriented economic approach without the dominance of primary profit targets should become an overarching framework for the hospital sector.
医院利润和节约趋势日益成为改善医疗保健系统讨论的焦点。基于利润的方法来产生医院回报存在伦理层面的问题,因为患者福祉必须始终是首要关注点。一种不以主要利润目标为主导的以需求为导向的经济方法应成为医院部门的总体框架。
