Recently, there have been an endless stream of visitors to North Taipingzhuang Hospital. The reason is that, as a community service center in Beijing, the first-class primary medical service institutions creatively applied network technology and created their own characteristics under the condition of insufficient funds, which was called "North Taiping Zhuang Model" by their peers.
This model integrates digital technology and health resources, and takes community health service centers and community health websites as platforms, which not only enables community residents to obtain community health management problems that cannot be solved by large hospitals, but also can obtain services such as establishing health files, SMS health reminders, online medical treatment, searching foreign medical materials, communicating with experts, online consultation, interactive health education and so on through network communication technology. At present, the community health management model has been widely concerned by community residents and industry authorities. Beijing and the Ministry of Health are going to take this model as a national pilot and vigorously promote it in community-level hospitals.
Community service is the future trend.
Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that with the evolution of family structure in China, China has gradually entered an aging society. Experts pointed out that with the further development of social economy and the continuous improvement of social security system, the conditions for establishing and perfecting a relatively complete social medical and health system are becoming increasingly mature. Therefore, it is urgent to promote and improve this system as soon as possible.
The developed degree of community health service represents the progress level of a modern society. In this regard, western countries have accumulated rich experience. In western Europe, North America, Australia and other countries, community health service has been carried out for nearly 30 years, and family doctors have become the main body of community health service, playing an important role in health service and management.
A foreign statistical report shows that 50% of doctors in developed countries serve in community hospitals. What are the community hospitals abroad like? An expert who has long studied the comparative study of Chinese and foreign medical care told a vivid story: people who have seen the movie Forrest Gump may still remember the doctor in the film. Forrest Gump was a doctor who performed orthopedic surgery for Forrest Gump when he was a child. When Forrest Gump's mother was dying, she was a doctor who stayed in front of the hospital bed. Serving the community for decades is a true portrayal of community hospital services abroad.
Zhou Li, president of Beitaipingzhuang Hospital, said that all developed countries have perfect community medical and health service networks, which are responsible for providing basic medical services to residents. In Britain, the birthplace of community health services, the number of doctors in community hospitals accounts for nearly 50% of the total number of doctors, with an average of one community general practitioner for every 2,000 people.
In contrast, the standardization of community health services in China is still not high, and the collection and statistics of community health information are still very backward, which limits the development of community health services. How to complete the function of community health service with good quality and quantity in the case of shortage of manpower and funds and complicated and heavy tasks is a difficult problem in front of community hospitals.
