Chapter 215: County Hospital Reform

On March 10, the County Party Committee held an enlarged Standing Committee meeting, and the topics of the Education Bureau and the Health Bureau were successfully passed.

As the leader in charge, Lu Fan held consecutive meetings to deploy these two important tasks.

On March 15, County Chief Bian Jide came to the County Party Committee building. It was heard that the purpose of his trip was to attend an important meeting—the Five-Person Small Group Meeting. The convening of this meeting meant that personnel adjustments had been officially put on the agenda.

In this small county, every personnel adjustment is like a surging change, representing the reshuffling of interests and the redistribution of power. It involves the fate and future of countless cadres, making everyone's heart hang.

The Five-Person Small Group Meeting is the core leadership layer of the whole county. They gather together to discuss and decide on major affairs of the whole county.

Others can only try their best to inquire about news from various channels, trying to understand the inside story and trends.

Lu Fan is no exception. Even at the vice-county level, there is a distinction between high and low. If you can't hang on to the Standing Committee, you have no right to speak and are still some distance from the real center of power.

After County Chief Bian Jide returned to his office, Lu Fan took his water cup to inquire about the news, wanting to see if Du Wenlong, Yang Minghao, and Xia Li had entered the promotion sequence, as well as the candidate for the Education Bureau Director.

Bian Jide naturally knew Lu Fan's intention. After chatting for a few sentences, he said, "The Education Bureau is out of play. Secretary Hu's attitude is very firm. It was finally decided that the Civil Affairs Bureau Director would be adjusted over."

Lu Fan looked slightly disappointed. He basically hadn't dealt with this Civil Affairs Bureau Director. He needed to run-in for a period of time, and it was best not to have any moths.

Then he asked, "County Chief, Du Wenlong of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Yang Minghao of the Political and Legal Committee, and Xia Li of our Government Office, is there any situation?"

"You worry a lot! Let me think, it seems there are all. Yang Minghao should be the section chief of the Law Enforcement Supervision Section, Du Wenlong is the director of the Petition Office, and Xia Li was nominated by me to serve as the deputy director of our Government Office. Now you can rest assured!"

Lu Fan laughed, "It still has to be the old leader. Thank you for your support in my work!"

Returning to the office, Education Bureau Deputy Director Wang Fei was waiting at the door.

After entering the door, Wang Fei said worriedly, "County Chief Lu, I heard that the candidate for the Education Bureau Director has been decided?"

Lu Fan said in a deep voice, "Judging from the current situation, it should be eight or nine out of ten. After all, it passed the Five-Person Small Group Meeting."

"Sigh, there is no way. I can't find a way!"

Lu Fan advised, "Don't be discouraged. Look for opportunities in the future! Although you missed the opportunity this time, you must not fall behind in your work, especially the graduating classes of junior and senior high schools, which must be grasped constantly!"

Wang Fei nodded and said, "Please rest assured, County Chief Lu. No matter what, work is definitely the first priority. No matter who is the director, we will definitely listen to County Chief Lu's greetings. It won't work no matter who comes!"

"Still need to pay attention to unity. Don't make the unit smoky, otherwise no one will end up well!"

After Wang Fei left, no one knew that he went straight to Yinzhou.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Organization Department Head was asking for instructions on work in the County Party Committee Secretary's office. Suddenly, Hu Chengwei's phone rang. It was actually Li Guoquan, Deputy Minister of the Provincial Organization Department, calling, vaguely mentioning the candidate for the Education Bureau Director, and mentioning Wang Fei by the way.

Hanging up the phone, Hu Chengwei helplessly said to the Organization Department Head, "Sigh, don't go to the Municipal Organization Department to report the plan tomorrow. Let's put it aside for now!"

Jiang Guanyu seemed to have expected it and followed the order. He had always supported Wang Fei.

Everyone thinks the County Party Committee Secretary holds immense power, but who knows the helplessness of Hu Chengwei? For a mere Education Bureau Director, five leaders at the deputy-department level or higher have already reached out, including one at the deputy-ministerial level!

Everyone thought this was a good job, and through "giving hats," they could make friends with higher-level leaders. But who had thought that there was only one hat, and how to handle the faces of other leaders? No matter how many reasons you have, the leader will only think you don't give face, and invisibly, you may offend the leader, and it is very likely that you will be tripped at a critical moment, making you want to cry without tears!

The next day, many people were waiting for news. According to the procedure, the Organization Department would go to the Municipal Organization Department to approve the personnel adjustment plan, but there was no news until noon.

So, the people on the list couldn't sit still and inquired about the news one after another, but they couldn't ask anything. The promotion and adjustment matters sank into the sea!

On March 20, after careful planning, Lu Fan organized and convened a special meeting on county hospital reform, and County Chief Bian Jide attended the meeting and spoke.

At the meeting, Health Bureau Director Li Daqiang read out the "Reform Plan" and interpreted some details in it in detail.

County Chief Bian Jide pointed out that county hospital reform is an important starting point for promoting the implementation of the whole county's medical system reform and is a major livelihood reform project, which is widely concerned at all levels and must implement the principles of fairness, justice, and openness to effectively solve existing problems. We must reform, refine, and summarize at the same time, so that medical reform becomes a model for the whole county.

Vice County Chief Lu Fan emphasized that the reform steps should move forward with big strides, establish a modern management system, break traditional thinking, boldly innovate and develop, and achieve reform in one step without taking detours.

On the morning of March 21, the sunlight passed through the thin clouds. The reform leading group led by Vice County Chief Lu Fan officially entered the county hospital, and a major adjustment involving the vital interests of hundreds of people kicked off.

For a time, a tense and fearful atmosphere permeated the entire county hospital. Especially those administrative personnel and seconded personnel were like birds of prey, sitting on pins and needles. After all, the rumors had long spread: this reform would carry out large-scale simplification of administrative positions, and many personnel would be restored to front-line positions; at the same time, for seconded personnel, measures to solve some backbone establishment slots and clear out some personnel would also be taken.

Everyone was afraid that the ruthless "hail" would hit their heads. Therefore, all kinds of ways to find connections and greet appeared one after another, and the target was Lu Fan without exception, because he was the actual operator of this reform!

At this time, Lu Fan was also under great pressure. Facing the human relationships and interest entanglements coming from all sides, he must maintain a clear head and a firm stance, and must be selfless and adhere to principles. Otherwise, once the "opening" is opened, the reform might become a joke!

On the first day of entry, the reform leading group organized and convened a general meeting of all employees of the county hospital.

At the meeting, Vice County Chief Lu Fan made an important speech, emphasizing that as the most important place for providing medical services in the whole county, the allocation of human resources in the county hospital directly affects medical quality and service efficiency. The hospital has a relatively bloated proportion of administrative and logistics personnel, while clinical departments are understaffed, which will lead to excessive work pressure on front-line medical staff, thereby affecting the quality and efficiency of medical services.

Lu Fan requested that the purpose of this reform is to ensure that there are enough front-line clinical personnel to meet the needs of patients, and through information construction, improve administrative efficiency and reduce the number of administrative personnel. Optimize processes, reduce unnecessary administrative procedures, reduce the non-clinical burden of medical staff, and achieve efficient and stable hospital operations.

After the meeting, the first round of democratic evaluation began, and every employee of the county hospital received a form. Although the content was numerous, everyone filled it out seriously.

At the same time, suggestion boxes were hung at the hospital gate, the county government gate, and prosperous street sections to collect opinions from the whole society on county hospital reform.

Unexpectedly, the reform leading group suddenly decided to review the county hospital's income and expenditure for the past five years without any warning!

This news was like a heavy bomb, causing a huge uproar within the county hospital.

Especially for Hospital Party Committee Secretary Yuan Gang, this decision was simply a head-on blow, making him break out in a cold sweat.

He knew very well what the review meant. If any problems were really found...

At this moment, Yuan Gang deeply realized that danger was quietly approaching, and he had to take action; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He began to think nervously about countermeasures, and at the same time prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that everything was just a false alarm...

Yuan Gang was racking his brains when the office door was pushed open, and the "Hospital Flower" walked in with enchanting steps.

If it were normal times, Yuan Gang would immediately lock the door and enjoy the gentle village.

But today, he immediately stood up and said, "Pay attention to the influence! Don't you know what the situation is now?"

The "Hospital Flower" said coquettishly, "I'm worried! President, I don't want to go back to be a nurse. You have to protect me!"

Yuan Gang frowned and said, "You are not blind. Lu Fan came personally, the director is sitting in command, and I am only a member of the leading group!"

Unexpectedly, the "Hospital Flower" changed her face immediately, snorted coldly, and said, "My President, do you intend to pull up your pants and not recognize people? I tell you, if you let me go back to the obstetrics and gynecology department, don't think about having a good time!"

Yuan Gang really wanted to curse, but today is different from the past. He could only persuade with good words, saying that even if this adjustment was to a front-line post, the future is long, the reform leading group would not stay in the hospital, and he would definitely find an opportunity to adjust her back in the future.

After spending a lot of saliva, he finally stabilized the harem! But before long, another "lover" came in, walked straight to Yuan Gang's side, sat in his arms, and began to act like a spoiled child.

This move made Yuan Gang jump up directly, hurriedly pushed the beauty in his arms away, rushed over to lock the office door, and said in a low voice, "My grandmother, don't look at what the situation is now? Don't come to me during this time!"

"When you need me, you call me 'Little Sweetie,' and when you don't need me, you don't even let me come? Look at how scared you are! Fine, listen to you! Just say one thing, I don't want to go back to the damn emergency room, otherwise, I'll make you look good!"

For a whole afternoon, more than a dozen female comrades came to Yuan Gang's office, making him exhausted to deal with, and he said a lot of good words before temporarily stabilizing the harem!

However, Yuan Gang didn't know that many of the beauties he was usually proud of had reached a unified front, waiting to see the results of this major adjustment.
