Medical workers in all levels and types of medical institutions will have ethic records and will be inspected and evaluated annually says China's Ministry of Health.

The Ministry of Health and State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine jointly launched "Directions on Establishing Ethics Inspection and Evaluation System for Medical Workers". It is the first time of raising the idea of building an inspection and evaluation system for medical workers in China. The result of the evaluation will be made public and directly connect with promotions, employment and performance-based salaries. The annual evaluation will be divided into three parts: self evaluation, section office evaluation and unit evaluation.

Ministry of Health says the evaluation result rankings will have four levels: excellent, good, average and poor. The main content of the evaluation will include medical action, dressing and attitude of the medical staff. Yet in this evaluation system, healing the sick and serving the people are the primary criteria within the judging framework.

If any medical worker has a poor performance, he or she will be punished accordingly. Eight types of behavior will be viewed as poor work: asking for money, goods or other profiteering from patients or their families in medical activities; accepting money given by companies who produce medicine, medical equipment, medical consumption goods or salesman of these companies in clinical diagnoses and treatment activities; violating policies of medical services and prices, charging more or charging privately which causes serious results; hiding, faking or destroying medical documents or relative files; careless performance which causes medical accidents or serious medical mistakes; giving fake medical advice or participating in fake medical advertisements or promotions; bad attitude in medical services which causes bad influence on others or serious results in the care of patients; other activity deemed to be serious violations of professional ethics or medical moral and ethics by the audit board.
