Abstract

By defining the concepts of medical corruption, public hospitals, and integrity culture within these hospitals, this paper explores the causes of medical corruption. It proposes strategies such as improving power supervision and balancing, enhancing professional ethics and integrity education, fostering a culture of transparency, refining medical service processes and management systems, and promoting healthy doctor-patient relationships. These strategies aim to effectively prevent medical corruption while improving hospital management and service quality, thereby enhancing the hospital's credibility and social influence. Integrity culture is a crucial part of hospital culture construction. Exploring effective paths for building this culture helps create a clean medical environment and supports the comprehensive fight against corruption and the smooth implementation of healthcare reforms in China. The elaboration and explanation of this paper provides insights and inspiration for the current integrity culture construction in public hospitals.
