Community hospital is an important part of primary medical and health institutions in China, which mainly undertakes the tasks of providing early diagnosis and treatment of common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases, preventive health care and health education for residents. Community hospitals have the advantages of being close to residents, convenient for medical treatment and relatively low cost, and are still the first choice for residents to seek medical treatment. At the same time, it should be pointed out that in some cases, community hospitals can not meet the needs of the disease. At this time, it is necessary to go to a higher level of medical institutions for treatment, such as incurable diseases, rare diseases, and severe diseases. , or in the case of high-tech, high-level medical resources, you need to go to a third-class hospital for treatment. But this does not mean that community hospitals are useless. In addition, community hospitals still play an important role in appointment registration, diagnosis and treatment services, and basic medical insurance reimbursement. Community health service centers and street hospitals can serve as the first medical institutions for residents, provide basic medical and health services for residents, establish cooperative relations with tertiary medical institutions, and guide reasonable medical treatment. Therefore, we should choose the appropriate medical institutions according to the severity and needs of the disease, rather than blindly denying the existence and role of community hospitals.
The medical level of community hospitals is relatively low. How to protect the rights and interests of patients? Although the medical level of community hospitals is relatively low, it has been continuously improved in diagnosis and treatment skills, medical equipment and medical quality. In addition, the state provides policy support and financial assistance to community health service centers, street hospitals and other grassroots health institutions, constantly promotes the construction of primary health care system, strengthens personnel training and team building, and improves the level and skills of medical personnel. At the same time, patients should know their own condition, diagnosis and treatment plan, medical expenses and other related information, and make reasonable screening and selection of doctors' diagnosis and treatment opinions and prescriptions. If you encounter problems in the process of seeing a doctor, you can complain to the community health service center, health supervision institutions or relevant medical security departments.
Community hospitals are still an important part of primary health services in China, providing timely and effective medical services for the residents. But in some cases, it is necessary to go to a higher medical institution for treatment. In order to protect patients' rights and interests, we should fully understand the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of various medical institutions, carefully choose hospitals and consciously safeguard our own rights and interests.
