The number source of large hospitals is sinking towards the grassroots level, and the public has more options for seeking medical treatment, making it more convenient for elderly patients to seek medical treatment at the grassroots level. According to a press conference held by the National Health Commission in Guangzhou on the 21st, various regions have steadily promoted the implementation of grassroots health and convenience services, and more people are enjoying high-quality services at their doorstep. The implementation of measures to facilitate and benefit the people has taken effect. In early August, the General Office of the National Health Commission issued the "Grassroots Health and Convenience Service Measures for the People". What is the current implementation situation in various regions? Zhu Hongming, Deputy Director of the Grassroots Department and First Level Inspector of the National Health Commission, stated that nearly two months have passed since the issuance of the document, and various regions are steadily promoting its implementation. ——The public has more options in terms of medical treatment time. According to reports, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province has listed "improving medical and health services" as one of the top ten livelihood practices. Currently, more than 800 social health institutions have opened night clinic services, with an average delay of 2 hours. Night clinic services account for nearly 20% of the total number of social health patients. ——The public has more choices in seeking medical treatment nearby. Beijing has chosen to carry out the construction of special disease departments in grass-roots medical and health institutions, and community health service institutions have linked with tertiary hospitals to jointly build special disease departments for common and frequently occurring diseases such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes, to meet the needs of residents for medical services nearby. ——The public can access multiple types of chronic disease prescription services at the grassroots level. In addition to hypertension and diabetes, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, has also included chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hyperlipidemia in long-term prescriptions, and has also developed community clinical management paths for each disease. ——Elderly patients are more convenient to seek medical treatment at the grassroots level. It is reported that some township health centers in Xinxiang City, Henan Province have set up agency offices to assist elderly and disabled people with mobility difficulties in handling medical insurance subsidies and replacing chronic disease certificates at administrative halls and medical insurance centers. They also collect examination results from higher-level hospitals and communicate with village doctors to transfer the results. Staff "run more errands" and elderly patients "run less". High quality medical resources continue to sink. Currently, the demand for medical services among the public is diversified and personalized, and higher requirements are also put forward for grassroots institutions. Zhu Hongming stated that in promoting the sinking of high-quality resources, there are mainly three measures: first, to promote the sinking of appointment numbers from second and third level hospitals to the grassroots level; Secondly, promote the appointment of doctors with intermediate and senior professional titles in outpatient clinics of grassroots institutions; The third is to actively carry out remote diagnosis and treatment. Wang Hongbin, Deputy Director of the Guangdong Provincial Health Commission, introduced that Guangdong is promoting secondary and above medical institutions to allocate 30% of their account sources to grassroots family doctors, with expert account sources no less than 30%. More and more family doctors can directly make appointments with higher-level hospital accounts in their own clinics. Wang Xiaoyi, director of the Community Health Service Center in Shayuan Street, Haizhu District, Guangzhou, said that the the Pearl River Hospital of Southern Medical University has opened cardiovascular, endocrine, digestive, rheumatic immunity and other departments to the center, so family doctors can make appointments for residents in the center for the Pearl River Hospital within a week. Since 2017, the Pearl River Hospital has also arranged more than 30 experts to take turns to visit the center, which not only enables residents to enjoy the diagnosis and treatment services of experts from the tertiary hospitals at the "gate", but also improves the ability of grassroots doctors.
