“The hospitals should manage four areas including healthcare, medical insurance, human resources and culture. Establishment of an accreditation system will result in good management, which means to improve the management system level. The main purpose of improved management is to identify issues and push for gradual improvement over time，”said Mr. Tang Weixin, Vice President of China Hospital Association.
