Foreword
Healthcare in China has entered a new era. The key tasks in the near future are to deepen medical system reform and provide safe, effective, convenient, and affordable basic healthcare services to the people, so as to ensure everyone have to right to access to basic healthcare service and improve the health of the whole nation. In addition, some additional requirements will be proposed along with the further reform of medical systems. We must be well prepared for such transition.
To achieve the above targets, it is essential to understand the features and complexities of healthcare services.
First, health care serves human beings and thus involves the most cherished values of “health” and “life”, which should never be neglected by any medical staffs. Meanwhile, healthcare quality and patient safety should be regarded as the core issue of hospital management and be improved continuously. Regardless of the already tight schedule, hospital staffs, especially the hospital directors, should never neglect healthcare quality and patient safety; patients should be cautiously cared, and any harm resulting from negligence should be avoided.
Second, the service target of a medical staff is not disease but human beings who suffer from disease. Human beings have both biological and social properties. Clinical medicine has transited from biological model to bio-psycho-social model, demonstrating the importance of the social property of a human being. It is therefore essential to respect and maintain the rights of the patients and their families, enhance mutual communication, and promote mutual trust.
Third, medicine is an art of humanity. Medical staffs should actively strengthen their understandings on medical ethics and morality; supported by their own professionalism and capabilities, they should contribute to form and enhance the socialist moral values.
Fourth, the management, reform, and development of a hospital depend on a good external environment, which include government policies, health insurance system, integrated health care system, and a well-designed hospital operation mechanism. The improvement of external environment is a progressive progress. More efforts should be made by hospital leaders to improve their own management.

In China, a system governing hospital management evaluation indicators is under development with an attempt to optimize hospital management evaluation system and establish a sustainable hospital management mechanism that is appropriate for China. For this purpose, we should continuously strengthen international exchanges and cooperation and learn the advanced hospital experiences from the developed world so as to promote the scientific, standardized, and normalized management of medical institutions and constantly improve the level and quality of healthcare service. However, considering the variations in the legislations and policies, the structure and cultures of healthcare service providers, and the real situations of specific hospitals in different countries, the application of any international accreditation standards should always be based on national, regional, and local real situations. Indiscriminate imitation should be avoided.
Finally, I sincerely wish all of our readers will find this book beneficial and useful.

High-rise denizens wage effort to regain sense of community
By ERIKO ARITA
Staff writer
Tokyo, for many of its inhabitants, is a faceless concrete jungle lacking any sense of community, unlike the days when close-knit row-house neighborhoods were the norm before the capital exploded into a soaring, postwar urban sprawl.
Residents of Kankan Mori, a collective-housing space taking up part of a high-rise in Arakawa Ward, Tokyo, dine together in a common room.
But in Arakawa Ward, in one of Tokyo's countless nondescript high-rises, an experiment is afoot by a select group of people endeavoring to regain, on two of the building's 12 floors, a sense of community lost.
For the experiment to work at Kankan Mori, as the two floors are known, however, all of the residents know they must pitch in and share with the chores.
On a recent afternoon in Kankan Mori's communal kitchen, women chatted around an industrial-use oven as they prepared dinner for 20.
"Are the potatoes in the oven still hard?" asked Hiroko Kimura, who is on the day's cooking shift.
"They can use another 10 minutes," replied Hatsuko Hiraga, another resident, as she checked vegetables in a large pan.
The thrice weekly "common meal" at Kankan Mori is a typical scene, as residents dine together and take turns cooking. After the 7 p.m. meal is served in a large dining room, many of the residents lingered on to continue chatting.
