Study on the Orchestration Method of Physician Allocation in Internal Medicine Department of a Large General Tertiary Hospital
Abstract：Objective: To get the theoretical number of physician allocation by measuring the physician’s current workloads and expert advices. Methods: Measuring the physician’s workload by self-designed questionnaire, combined with standard working time given by experts, get the theoretical number of physician allocation. Results: There are 197 sickbeds and 49 physicians in the three departments (endocrinology, hematology and respiratory medicine department) which are surveyed at present. The theoretical number of physicians is 110-132, and 61-83 need to be increased. The bed-physician ratio in endocrine departments is 1:0.19, in hematology departments is 1:0.26, and that in respiratory medicine departments 1 is 1:0.37. All the results are relatively low. The research results also show that, the ideal ratio of the sickbed number and the physician number in endocrine departments is 1:0.47-1:0.58, in hematology departments is 1:0.59-1:0.71, and that in respiratory medicine departments 1 is 1:0.72-1:0.85. Conclusion: Physicians are currently insufficient allocated and workload overload, quality of care can not be guaranteed. The number of physicians should be increased.
