研究显示，亚太地区的医院经历了从稳步扩张、大流行冲击、上坡恢复到持续增长等阶段。在每个阶段， 我们都分析了医院收入、手术数量和病床占用率与 GDP 同比增长率的关系。 在新冠之前，该地区的医院通过收购和提供更多服务不断扩张。这使得医院收入稳定增长5%至10%，手 术数量增长 10%至 15%，病床占用率稳定在65%至70%，与该地区 4%至 5%的 GDP 增长率保持一致。 尽管医院规模稳步扩大，但大流行病暴露了医院系统的严重弱点，导致收入减少，病床占用率因可用病床 短缺而上升。手术也被推迟或取消，因为病人为了尽量减少接触病毒的风险而回避医院。 后新冠时代，虽然没有了集中性的疾病冲击，医院正面临着一系列趋势和挑战。为了解整个亚太地区目前 的医院经营环境，科尔尼公司在 2022 年至 2024年期间调研了25位医院高管和150多位患者。 与此同时，运营更加灵活的医院能够迅速做出调整。例如，新加坡陈笃生医院（Tan Tock Seng Hospital） 将膝关节置换手术转变为采用增强型术后恢复（ERAS）模式的非卧床手术，将住院时间从六天缩短为一 天。 随着疫苗接种率超过人口的40%，选择性手术出现反弹，到 2 ...
