Why community hospitals should use the machines most

The structure of Shanghai hospitals is a three-tier, two-tier to the community, as well as specialty hospitals and private hospitals, of which community hospitals account for about two-thirds. Community hospitals are the most grounded, most of the first patients in the community, the community is the first contact with the "hospital" place, but also the initial impression of the medical environment. How to improve the quality of health care, improve the medical environment, I think the first from the community to start, we must find ways to let the majority of patients, the people experience good medical resources in the community, if the patients in the community can enjoy quality medical treatment, then the hospital and the doctor will have confidence, and no longer think that in the community can not see the disease.

As far as ultrasound is concerned, if the results are basically the same as those of the second and third tier hospitals, the problem of queuing up for examinations can be greatly improved, and the second and third tier hospitals can provide further precision examinations, such as various new ultrasound technologies. How can this be realized? First of all, it is the hardware and equipment. It is well known that community machines are the worst and inferior to the second and third tier hospitals in all aspects, so of course, patients should be skeptical about the accuracy of their examination results. To cite a simple example, a polyp of 2-3 millimeters reported in a tertiary hospital may not be available in the community because it cannot be seen with low resolution. So the community is actually the most important place to use the machine, which not only makes up for the doctor's shortcomings, but also gives patients great confidence.

Community hospitals only need excellent resolution of the machine, do not need to carry any new technology, in the second and third hospitals good machine is to apply new technology, and the community as long as the resolution is good on the line, which greatly reduces the cost. All these have to rely on government investment, and community hospitals are not efficient enough to provide such conditions. The Government's investment in this area can well improve the people's experience in seeking medical treatment. Since the hardware facilities have been improved, the next step is of course to raise the diagnostic standard of doctors, provide regular training and graded consultation, so as to address the worries of patients. In this way, patients no longer need to squeeze in the big hospitals to queue up for tests, greatly reducing the time to see a doctor.
