The government encourages private capital to enter the medical and health field in order to gradually break the monopoly situation and realize the pattern of "taking public ownership as the main body and implementing various forms of medical treatment". This is one direction of the reform of the medical and health system. However, Zhao Chun, secretary general of the Private Hospital Management Branch of the Chinese Hospital Management Association, pointed out that although the state has encouraged the development of private hospitals, related supporting measures are insufficient. The incompatibility of medical market policies in private hospitals is first manifested in tax policies. The unmatched and inconsistent tax policies have already had a relatively large impact on the survival and development of private hospitals. The health department has identified private hospitals as for-profit hospitals, and the tax department has gradually begun to levy taxes on for-profit hospitals. Since private hospitals are basically new, what kind of tax should they be collected, the policies of the health department and the tax department are not unified. If the tax is collected by the enterprise, the hospital will have to pay 5.5% of the gross income. In addition, there are 16 types of taxes that the hospital can hardly bear. Regarding the tax exemption of for-profit hospitals, there are various policies in various places.

I. Attach importance to the soft environment and build a hospital culture. Many investors in private hospitals have a medical background, and even medical experts or scholars have invested their own technology to conduct secondary entrepreneurship. This type of hospital is characterized by a technology-based specialist hospital. The work of technology investors is often the core, and their interests represent the interests of such hospitals. Other people, whether they are general employees or the backbone of the hospital, are not afraid to go away, because they can only take away their own technology, which cannot affect the development of the hospital. Hospitals are people-oriented, and the backbone of hospitals often ties their own interests with the development of the hospital. Hospital technicians or backbones can create value, and they will seek to maximize their own interests. But many technicians or backbones not only value money, but reputation is also very important to them. Therefore, investors must also consider how to give them a reputation when distributing benefits to them. This is not only a respect for them, but also a good way to attract and unite them. Private hospitals must pay attention to building their own hospital culture. Core values and hospital culture are an important factor in determining the development of a hospital. In particular, the development of private hospitals needs to form core values and hospital culture. Some of the values of the core values and hospital culture are expressed in words, some are reflections of will, philosophy, and image, as well as institutional manifestations, that is, to implement core values at the institutional level.

2. Entering the ranks of designated medical insurance hospitals The biggest significance of allowing private hospitals to enter designated medical insurance hospitals is that private hospitals have won a more fair and relaxed living environment, patients have more choices for medical treatment, and medical insurance departments have expanded the space for screening designated medical institutions . But not every private hospital can win this honor. Some people in charge of private hospitals privately believe that there is a certain degree of discrimination in reality when applying for medical insurance fixed points. At present, most private hospitals basically do not have the qualifications for medical insurance fixed points. In this regard, relevant persons of the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau did not deny that public medical institutions are still the service providers that provide basic medical insurance, and it is logical for them to assume the basic medical insurance tasks. Private medical institutions basically do not assume this social obligation, and it will provide more choices for patients with different levels of medical needs.
