Objective To explore the challenges and reform strategies of price management in public hospitals under the background of high-quality development.Methods This study uses a tertiary hospital in Guangdong as a case study,analyzed the current situation and challenges of price management from an overall perspective,and proposed effective strategies.Results With the ongoing reforms in medical service prices and health insurance policies,and the increasing need to improve patient expe-rience and hospital operational efficiency,we have identified significant limitations in traditional price management models.These limitations include the inability to adapt to continuous changes in external pricing policies,inadequate organizational structure and professional knowledge,lack of regulatory systems and information platforms,and lagging development of medical service pro-jects.To address these issues,the hospital conducted comprehensive evaluations of the Price Management Committee,Price Man-agement Department,and relevant business departments,adopting a problem-oriented approach to fill institutional gaps and ac-tively respond to new challenges.Conclusion Through the implementation of institutionalized,standardized,intelligent and dy-namic reform measures for price management,the level and ability of hospital price management can be improved and meet the re-quirements of high-quality development.
