Outline of Final Research Achievements

Under the national public hospital reform guidelines, changes in management style are being encouraged to improve the management of municipal hospitals. In this research, we examined how changes in management style will affect the health of staff and local residents. By management style, the most numerous were “partially applicable" to “fully applicable" types. Changes in management style were found to affect the health of staff and local residents. However, as we could not apply a method of Health Impact Assessment (HIA) to specific hospitals prior to the management style change, we could not assess its relevance.
