Optimization strategies for comprehensive budget management from the perspective of clinical departments

Abstract

With the advancement on the reform of healthcare payment system and the zero-markup drug policy, hospitals are shifting their strategic focus from traditional revenue growth to cost control, which drives the need for robust comprehensive budget management. The implementation of comprehensive budgeting within clinical departments is particularly crucial to overall hospital budget management. Against this backdrop, this paper investigates the current state of daily budget execution, identifies existing challenges in a clinical department of a large Grade A Tertiary public hospital in Sichuan Province, summarizes the importance of implementing comprehensive budget management at the clinical department level and proposes adaptive, feasible optimization strategies for comprehensive budget management methods. These strategies are expected to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of comprehensive budget management in clinical departments, improve the quality of refined management, and provide references for optimizing comprehensive budget management in clinical departments.
