The implementation of comprehensive budgeting within clinical departments is particularly crucial to overall hospital budget management. Against this backdrop, this paper investigates the current state of daily budget execution, identifies existing challenges in a clinical department of a large Grade A Tertiary public hospital in Sichuan Province, summarizes the importance of implementing comprehensive budget management at the clinical department level and proposes adaptive, feasible optimization strategies for comprehensive budget management methods. These strategies are expected to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of comprehensive budget management in clinical departments, improve the quality of refined management, and provide references for optimizing comprehensive budget management in clinical departments.</p> Qing He, Chunyi Chen Copyright (c) 2025 Hospital Administration and Medical Practices https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://www.hksmp.com/hamp/article/view/1091 Tue, 23 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0800 Overcrowding in emergency departments: organisational strategies - ‘Cingolo Project’ and fast track https://www.hksmp.com/hamp/article/view/735 <p>None.</p> Arturo Pasqualucci, Maria Cristina De Lio, Daniele Torroni, Margherita Rosi Copyright (c) 2025 Hospital Administration and Medical Practices https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://www.hksmp.com/hamp/article/view/735 Wed, 16 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0800 PICU ward construction based on 5G unified cloud-edge collaborative AI smart healthcare https://www.hksmp.com/hamp/article/view/1090 <p>The traditional ward management model fails to meet the growing medical needs, necessitating the integration of various technological means to enhance medical quality and service levels. Currently, smart healthcare remains in an exploratory phase both domestically and internationally. The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University has utilized a 5G medical private network that integrated healthcare monitoring, treatment, and assisted intelligent medical terminals into one to establish an integrated platform for PICU based on a cloud-edge collaborative architecture. It facilitats a seismic shift from traditional towards smart healthcare, promots information symmetry among healthcare providers, improves work efficiency, and tailors the requirements of patients as well as the needs of their families. This platform serves as an inspiration for the intelligent construction of PICU.</p> Kexin Yang, Zifeng Liu , Xiangwei Chen, Zhannan Duan, Yating Li, Qintai Yang, Zhuanggui Chen, Mengqi Duan Copyright (c) 2025 Hospital Administration and Medical Practices https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://www.hksmp.com/hamp/article/view/1090 Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0800 The strategic role of clinical competence mapping to leverage hospital governance https://www.hksmp.com/hamp/article/view/734 <p>None.</p> Paolo Bordon, Lorenzo Severini, Caterina Macciantelli, Aldo Bonadies Copyright (c) 2025 Hospital Administration and Medical Practices https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://www.hksmp.com/hamp/article/view/734 Mon, 26 May 2025 00:00:00 +0800
