National Health Commission: Public hospitals should realize three 'turns'

On May 8, Ma Xiaowei, director of the National Health Commission, said that the management of public hospitals should be strengthened to shift from scale expansion to quality benefit, from extensive management to fine management, and from investment in hospital development and construction to expansion of distribution. Ma Xiaowei further explained that the purpose of public hospitals changing from scale expansion to quality benefit is to improve medical quality; from extensive management to fine management is to improve efficiency; and from investment in hospital development and construction to expansion of distribution is to improve treatment. In addition, the performance appraisal of tertiary public hospitals should be carried out in an all-round way, and the supervision of the whole industry should be strengthened. In the tenth year of the improvement of new doctors, the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system is continually advancing, and the discussion on the comprehensive reform of public hospitals has attracted much attention. Industry insiders believe that under this background, public hospitals should realize three "turns", releasing the signal of further deepening health care reform under the principles of government-led, public welfare-led and public hospital-led.

According to Ma Xiaowei, solving the problem of "difficult and expensive to see a doctor" is the main direction of deepening medical reform. To crack down on the "expensive medical treatment", we must make joint efforts and joint reform of the "three doctors". Strengthening the management of public hospitals is one of them. In addition, we need to improve the drug policy and the national essential drug system. Ma Xiaowei pointed out that the basic idea is to maximize the integration of existing health resources and build an integrated medical service model. First, we need to accelerate the construction of medical conjoined and medical community. In the near future, we should focus on building 100 Urban Medical conjoined bodies and 500 County communities. Two, we should strengthen the construction of county hospitals, implement a new round of county level hospitals' service capability upgrading projects, and promote 90% of the rural medical problems in the county level; three, the development of "Internet + medical health", which has already covered all poverty-stricken counties on the basis of telemedicine. We will continue to cover all medical communities and medical communities and extend them to villages and villages. Fourthly, we will provide contracted services for family doctors and highlight key groups and diseases.
