The 'White Reform' Period in Hospitals
The 'White Reform' Period in Hospitals
Provincial Health Director Prof. Dr. Mehmet Koç met with the
chief physicians of state hospitals at the Provincial Health Directorate
Conference Hall and exchanged ideas about the 'White Reform' program implemented
by the Ministry of Health.
Prof. Dr. Koç, who made the opening speech of the meeting,
stated that a new era has been passed with the 'White Reform' program in
hospitals and said, "How will the new working order of our hospitals be
within the scope of the 'White Reform' whose details are shared with the public
by the Ministry of Health? What does the White Reform mean? We will discuss
such issues in this meeting and make plans to quickly implement the
requirements of the White Reform in our hospitals."
Prof. Dr. Koç, who started his speech by emphasizing that
there are 3 main title of the White Reform and the first of these is the gains
for physicians and health workers, said, "First of all, the 'Violence in
Health' law enacted and put into practice for all our health workers. With this
law, crimes committed in the line of duty against health workers began to be
considered within the scope of catalog crimes. This went down in history as an
extremely important step. Later, the 'Malpractice' law was enacted and another
important gain that virtually guaranteed the future began to be applied to
physicians and health workers. Finally, changes were made that provided
significant gains in the financial and personal rights of our health workers
and physicians. All these have taken their place as gains that increase
employee satisfaction. Now, the 'White Reform' program will continue to be
implemented with measures to increase the satisfaction of our patients."
Stating that the White Reform will be continued with the
measures to increase the quality of health services provided to citizens, Prof.
Dr. Koç said, "It is our most important priority to facilitate the access
of our citizens to our health facilities and to produce solutions to the
problem quickly without allowing any patient victimization. At this point, by
rapidly implementing the criteria required by the Ministry of Health in our
hospitals, the number of polyclinics will be rapidly increased in all branches
where there is difficulty in taking turns and especially in taking turns."
Underlining that it is important to carry out health worker
and citizen satisfaction in a sustainable way, Prof. Dr. Koç said, "Our
hospital administrators have important duties in terms of not victimizing our
citizens by working efficiently with our health workers. First of all, as the
chief physician, you should be able to master all the problems of your hospital
by working interactively with all our hospital managers. Knowing the
responsibility of our work, we should be able to carry citizen satisfaction to
the highest point together. Especially in our hospital services, in areas such
as emergency, outpatient clinic, inpatient treatment services, we should work
to reach our pre-pandemic data quickly and put our plans into practice."
