System of property rights and reform in system of hospital property rights

Reform in the system of hospital property rights now confronts hospital administrators and theoretical workers as a practical theoretical, policy and operational issue. For this reason, the author, in his introduction to the basic concept of the system of property rights, gives an account of the notions of property rights of the West, Marx and Chinese scholars and then expounds respectively the intensions of corporation property rights and the system of corporation property rights. At the same time he makes clear the advantages and limitations of the system of corporation property rights and the relationship between the system of hospital property rights and hospital behavior. Finally, the author sets forth three paths of reforming the system of hospital property rights in China: minor reform, viz. strengthened management instead of reform; medium reform, viz. establishment of a para system of hospital property rights; and major reform, viz. establishment of the system of hospital property rights.
