Financial autonomy mechanism at the National Lung Hospital

Implementing the financial autonomy mechanism has created opportunities for public hospitals to be proactive in financial and asset management, using the state budget thrifty and efficiently, and increasing income through production and business. However, with the requirement of financial autonomy at public hospitals in general and the National Lung Hospital in particular, many problems arise from management mechanisms and policy systems to create and effectively use financial resources. The author collected data with 175 satisfactory questionnaires and used descriptive statistics to determine the factors affecting financial autonomy status at the National Lung Hospital. The results show that the policy mechanism, management capacity, staff qualifications, and facilities have different levels of relevance to the degree of financial autonomy, from which the author proposes some solutions to improve the financial autonomy mechanism in the near future.
