Chapter 374 The Year Healthcare Reform Begins



Inside the meeting room.

Feng Shilun glanced at everyone present and said:

"Our hospital is a pilot unit for medical reform this year, and we are currently promoting related medical reforms. I hope that every department in the hospital can earnestly complete the tasks assigned by the higher authorities."

At this point, Feng Shilun seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to his son, Feng Xuegong, asking:

"By the way, Deputy Director Feng, have you discussed the issue of medical reform in our hospital with Director Su?"

"ah?"

Feng Xuegong paused for a moment, as if just realizing what was happening, and said, "No...no."

"Hmph, how did you become the deputy director of this department?"

Feng Shilun couldn't help but snort softly, feeling that his son was somewhat unreliable.

He's almost forty years old.

I always drag my feet when I go to work, and I don't get up until the sun is high in the sky before I rush to the hospital.

Seeing that his father's gaze was not right, Feng Xuegong quickly explained, "It's just that Director Su has only been here for a few days. He's been getting familiar with the department's situation, and I haven't had a chance to tell him yet!"

Feng Shilun glared at him, waved his hand, and said, "I don't care about your reasons. Anyway, before you leave work today, you must explain the situation of our hospital to Director Su. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Dean."

Feng Xuegong quickly agreed, afraid that his father would continue to be angry.

Su Zhengnan turned to look at him and asked softly, "I said, isn't Dean Feng your father? Why are you still calling him Dean?"

Feng Xuegong coughed and said, "Ahem, my dad said that when we're at work, we should only use our job titles!"

Hey, why does that sound so familiar?

Su Zhengnan chuckled and shook his head slightly. Hearing this answer, he didn't press the matter further.

The meeting ended quickly.

Feng Shilun had originally called everyone together for a meeting simply to inform them that the health department leaders would be coming to inspect the area the next day; it wasn't a major meeting.

So the brief meeting ended in less than ten minutes.

After the meeting.

As they stepped out of the conference room, Feng Xuegong pulled Su Zhengnan aside and said:

"Director Su, let me tell you about our hospital's medical reform first, so you won't be completely unaware when the health department leaders come to inspect tomorrow."

"Yes, let's talk as we walk!"

Su Zhengnan nodded in agreement.

As Feng Xuegong followed Su Zhengnan toward the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he explained:

"Actually, this medical reform came very suddenly. The higher authorities suddenly released the 'Hospital Management Evaluation Guidelines,' which concluded that our current domestic medical and health system reform is basically unsuccessful."

"Therefore, after a series of discussions, the higher authorities decided to make this year the starting point for a new round of medical system reform."

"The specific reform plan is still unclear, but a hospital management year campaign themed 'patient-centered, improving the quality of medical services' has been established, and a medical system reform coordination group has been specifically set up..."

Listening to Feng Xuegong's introduction.

Su Zhengnan raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling that he didn't seem to know much about the medical reform.

It's because he wasn't a doctor in his previous life!

However, judging from what Feng Xuegong said, this year should be a new year for medical reform, and previous medical reforms have been deemed failures.

This means that starting this year, China's medical reform will be re-planned and improved.

Su Zhengnan was not clear about the specifics of the medical reform, but he did know that the more the reform progressed, the more expensive it would become for ordinary people to see a doctor.

So where exactly did the problem lie?

Su Zhengnan followed Feng Xuegong back to his office. After listening to Feng's story, he sat down in his office and fell into deep thought.

The success of healthcare reform hinges primarily on whether it truly makes medical care more convenient and affordable for ordinary people.

However, the outcome was not the same on Earth in the previous life.

Now I've become a doctor myself.

If I were to participate in this healthcare reform, what would I do to make it more successful?

In a short while, many ideas flashed through Su Zhengnan's mind, but he rejected them all one by one.

After all, this is a major issue involving the healthcare of the entire population.

Without relatively high intelligence and insight, it is impossible to come up with the most suitable reform plan.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, it's giving me a headache!"

Su Zhengnan rubbed his temples, deciding to stop thinking about it for now, since it was still a long way off before the actual medical reform plan was finalized!

After thinking for a moment, he turned to Feng Xuegong and said:

"I understand what you've said, Director Feng. However, I think medical reform is not just a matter of policy, but more importantly, how to implement it for every patient."

"Oh, Director Su, what you said is certainly correct, but we are just grassroots medical staff."

Feng Xuegong smiled and shrugged, saying, "We only have the right to make suggestions on medical reform, not the right to make decisions. So we just need to do whatever the higher-ups say."

Su Zhengnan was silent for a moment, then sighed and said:

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's focus on our own jobs!"

"Director Su, that's the right way to think. Alright, I'll get back to work now."

Feng Xuegong smiled and waved his hand, then turned and left Su Zhengnan's director's office.

Watching Feng Xuegong's departing figure, Su Zhengnan sat in his office and thought about it carefully again. Perhaps only his teacher could speak on the matter of medical reform.

How about we talk to the teacher about our thoughts another day?

Maybe when the teacher goes to the meeting, they can offer some useful suggestions to the higher-ups?

This is probably all I can do right now!

Ring ring!

Just as Su Zhengnan was thinking about these things.

His phone suddenly rang.

Su Zhengnan took out his phone and saw that it was Director Zhu calling. He immediately pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Dr. Su, are you free to come to our hospital tomorrow?"

As soon as the call connected, Zhu Jiangcai said directly on the other end of the phone, "We have a patient who wants to consult with you; the condition is a bit complicated."

Oh no, I forgot to tell Director Zhu about this!

Su Zhengnan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he didn't know how to respond to the other party.

It's worth noting that he is now the director of a Beijing-based integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine hospital, and he rarely has time to conduct consultations outside the hospital anymore. However, he still holds a contract as a temporary doctor in the emergency department of the Third People's Hospital.

Originally, it wouldn't have been a problem if he had gone to another hospital for a consultation tomorrow, Saturday.

But the health department leaders are coming to inspect the area tomorrow, and Su Zhengnan simply can't leave!

Thinking of this, Su Zhengnan touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly and replied:

"I'm sorry, Director Zhu, I might not be able to make the consultation tomorrow. Could you perhaps have another doctor take a look?"

"You don't have time to come for a consultation?"

Zhu Jiangcai, sitting opposite him, was stunned and asked in bewilderment:

"Dr. Su, what do you mean by that? Why don't you have time to come for a consultation? Isn't your school supposed to be closed tomorrow, Saturday?"

"Cough cough..."

Su Zhengnan coughed awkwardly, and after a long while, he replied:

"I'm sorry, Director Zhu, I forgot to tell you, I'm no longer the school doctor at Beijing Film Academy."

"What? You're no longer the school doctor at the Beijing Film Academy?"

A look of surprise flashed across Zhu Jiangcai's face as he pressed, "Then where have you gone now?"

Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "I'm at the Beijing Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine Hospital right now!"

"The Beijing Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital?"

Zhu Jiangcai asked, somewhat puzzled, "That doesn't make sense either. Even if you changed jobs, is it really such a coincidence that it's your turn to be on duty on Saturday?"

"Well, this is something that can't be explained in a short time. Let me treat you to a meal another day when you have time, and we can sit down and talk about it!"

Su Zhengnan looked embarrassed and said, "I really can't go to the consultation on Saturday. I'm so sorry, Director Zhu. How about I call my senior brother to come and help me out?"

"ah?"

Zhu Jiangcai felt speechless. "No, we still have a temporary assignment contract, Dr. Su!"

Su Zhengnan sighed softly and said, "I think I'll have to terminate this temporary assignment contract with you. Don't worry, this termination is my problem, so you don't need to pay me the consultation fees afterward. Just consider it my breach of contract penalty!"

"......."

Upon hearing Su Zhengnan say this...

Zhu Jiangcai seemed a little incredulous at his ears and said urgently, "No, I mean, Dr. Su, if you're not available for the consultation on Saturday, we don't need to cancel the contract, right? There's always next time, isn't there?"

"Uh, there probably won't be a next time, and I'm not suitable to continue working there."

Su Zhengnan said somewhat awkwardly.

"What's the meaning?"

Zhu Jiangcai continued to press for answers.

"It means that my work will be very busy in the future, and I will hardly have time to go to other hospitals for consultations, except in special circumstances."

Su Zhengnan knew that if he didn't explain the matter clearly, the other party probably wouldn't hang up the phone.

After thinking for a moment, he had no choice but to patiently explain:

"To tell you the truth, Director Zhu, I'm currently the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at the Beijing Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine Hospital. I'm busy with about the same things as you every day, and I can't leave at all!"

"So I'm afraid I won't be able to continue my temporary post at your Third People's Hospital."

"What? Dr. Su, you've become a department head?"

Zhu Jiangcai could hardly believe his ears.

It's only been a few days!

So the other person became the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department?

Did I mishear, or did the other person say something wrong?

Zhu Jiangcai murmured, "Dr. Su, you're not joking with me, are you? You've become the head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department? And the head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at a hospital that integrates traditional Chinese and Western medicine?"

"Yes, I'm not kidding you."

Su Zhengnan nodded and replied, "So this matter can't be explained in a short time. Let's have a meal together and talk about it when we have time later! Also, we need to terminate that temporary assignment contract."

In fact, it's not just the Third People's Hospital whose temporary assignment contracts need to be terminated.

I'm afraid that Fifth Senior Brother's temporary post contract will also need to be terminated, otherwise things will get complicated later.

After all, he is now the head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at a hospital that integrates traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and he no longer has the same freedom in many things as before.

Even for cross-hospital consultations, registration must be completed at the hospital.

Unless he is a private consultant.

Otherwise, if he were to go out for a consultation as the head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, he would have to obtain the hospital's consent first.

Zhu Jiangcai: "╭(#°Д°)╮!!"
