ABSTRACT: Objective: To analyze the
employee compensation status of secondary public hospitals of Pudong New Area
in Shanghai in order to provide information for compensation reform of public
hospitals in Shanghai and as well as in China. Methods: We surveyed all 15
secondary public hospitals of Pudong New Area in Shanghai to collect hospital
annual compensation data for their employees and to investigate their
suggestions for compensation reform in public hospitals in China. We also
collected related annual compensation data of employees in Shanghai and of
physicians in the USA from Shanghai statistical Yearbook 2013 and from Bureau
of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor. Results: The average annual
compensation for the employees in secondary public hospitals of Pudong New Area
in Shanghai in 2012 was 2.65 times of that for overall employees in Shanghai.
The physician’s compensation in these public hospitals was relatively lower
than that in the USA. Conclusion: The physicians’ compensation in the secondary
public hospitals of Pudong New Area in Shanghai should be increased rationally
and new compensation reform in public hospitals in Shanghai should be carefully
designed.
