Precautions for outpatient medical treatment: patients go through a complete process from admission to departure, including registration, waiting for medical treatment, doctor's examination, various examinations, X-ray and special examinations, pricing, payment, medicine taking and treatment.
Every patient wants to see a doctor as soon as possible, and they all want a clear diagnosis and proper treatment. The quality of outpatient service mainly depends on early diagnosis and timely and reasonable treatment.
However, a common problem in outpatient clinics is that doctors are not careful. Due to the concentration of patients in a unit time, the patient flow is large, and the time of seeing a doctor is short, which brings certain difficulties to doctors' consultation and examination, poor organization and coordination, and is prone to "three long and one short" (long waiting time for registration, long waiting time for seeing a doctor, short time for seeing a doctor), which makes patients feel inconvenient, even increases their pain, and some even have cross infection.
For these problems, hospitals are trying to solve them, shortening the waiting time as much as possible, simplifying the procedures and making it convenient for patients. In addition to hospital reform and management, patients should also cooperate from the following aspects.
2. What is the common sense of studying in Canada for medical treatment?
There are many similarities between Canada's medical system and the United States. The way to protect people's medical care is through comprehensive, systematic and perfect medical insurance. Therefore, the best medical insurance for international students after arriving in Canada is to buy local medical insurance in Canada.
China students studying in Canada should buy their own medical insurance as soon as possible after entering the country. Of course, different provinces in Canada have different regulations on medical insurance, and some stipulate that the medical insurance for international students should be directly included in the provincial medical insurance plan. International students and their families in Alberta, Canada need to register at the medical insurance center in the province within 3 months after entry, and pay the medical insurance fees themselves, so that international students and their families will be included in the medical insurance plan in Alberta.
The cost of medical insurance in Alberta, Canada is about 34 Canadian dollars per person per month. If you join the medical insurance plan as a family, it will be 68 Canadian dollars per month for each family. After purchasing the medical insurance plan, international students will mark the date of the insurance period on their student visas. The medical insurance plan in British Columbia, Canada requires international students with student visas to join the medical insurance plan in the province. According to the local medical insurance regulations, as long as the visas held by international students last for more than half a year, they must be included in the provincial medical insurance plan.
3. What are the common medical knowledge of studying in the United States?
Everyone gets sick, and students studying in the United States are no exception.
Studying abroad is very troublesome. I accidentally got sick in the field and had a headache. Below I will introduce the common sense of medical treatment in the United States to students who want to apply for studying in the United States, hoping to help everyone.
No wonder, in the United States, there are many kinds of hospitals with different costs, so it is difficult to find a suitable hospital. Even if you find a hospital, it will cost hundreds of dollars. Such high medical expenses are unacceptable to ordinary international students.
For minor ailments and pains, you can go to the school health center first. If the illness is more complicated and serious, you'd better go to the hospital. At this time, it is extremely necessary to participate in medical insurance.
Exchange students buy medical insurance from training institutions. Students with F- 1 visas can take out school insurance or buy their own insurance. Different insurance companies and different types of insurance have different reimbursement rates. It is best to ask before going to the United States for medical treatment.
Don't forget to bring your relevant documents when you go to the doctor. You may need to fill in the name, insurance period and number of the medical insurance company. If you don't have insurance, don't be shy to ask the staff in charge of accounts in the hospital if you can get a discount.
It has been suggested that China is the cheapest, and the clinics run by China people are definitely not expensive, and they are our own, at least there are no communication barriers. That's right. There are indeed many clinics run by China people in some large and medium-sized cities in the United States. These clinics are complete in variety and relatively cheap in price. Relevant information can generally be found on websites and Chinese newspapers.
4. What is the common sense of medical treatment in Australian life?
You need to buy medical insurance before you go to Australia. In fact, international students need to buy medical insurance before coming to Australia.
According to reports, there are three major insurance companies that provide health insurance for overseas students in Australia, namely MedibankPrivate, OSHCWorldcare and AHM. They will pay more than 80% of the medical expenses, prescription drugs and emergency ambulance expenses incurred by international students during their study in Australia.
In the case of hospitalization, the health insurance for international students will pay 100% of the medical expenses, but it does not include dentistry and optometry. It must be noted that international students have to go to pharmacies to buy medicines in Australia, and hospitals do not sell medicines.
Usually, students have to pay in advance for medical treatment, and then take the invoice to the personal medical insurance company for reimbursement. Most universities in Australia have medical service centers. You can go to the medical service center for common diseases, and the service is generally free.
Generally speaking, minor illnesses can be checked there first. Three types of medical institutions provide services. In addition to the school doctor's office, there are three types of medical institutions in Australia, including: 1.
Clinical (private clinic). The so-called GP in clinic is the general family doctor.
Generally speaking, you need an Australian family doctor to know your physical condition. You can see a family doctor for minor illnesses such as a cold and fever. 2。
Medical center (private general hospital). Suitable for students with slightly complicated illness.
However, compared with private clinics, the cost of private general hospitals will be higher, especially if instruments are used for testing. 3。
Hospital (public hospital). In Australian hospitals, patients don't get treatment first. Nurses will classify patients into 1 to 5 grades according to the urgency of symptoms.
Patients with 1 grade and grade 2 must have been pushed by ambulance beds. However, if the condition is classified as level 4, the patient will have to wait until the level 3 patient has read it.
Patients with grade 4 or 5 diseases usually have to wait for several hours. If China students are used to seeing Chinese medicine, they can go to the local Chinese medicine clinic and receive acupuncture, acupuncture and other treatments. However, these treatment costs are borne by international students themselves and are not covered by medical insurance.
In addition, some family doctors also have home visits, but the cost of home visits is five to six times higher than that of ordinary doctors. Ordinary people don't invite doctors to their homes without special circumstances. Comprehensive physical examination before departure+vaccination Although Australia requires every international student to have a routine physical examination before the visa is passed, it is only a routine physical examination. It is best for international students to have a comprehensive physical examination in a large domestic hospital before going abroad, and prepare relevant therapeutic drugs according to the results of the physical examination.
In addition, Australia * * * and schools do not require international students to be vaccinated. Students can complete the corresponding vaccination according to their own physical conditions and on the advice of doctors. It should be reminded that if students need multiple vaccinations, they must be prepared in advance, because different vaccinations need time intervals.
5. What are the precautions for medical insurance?
1. When you bring a medical insurance card to see a doctor, you should also bring some cash appropriately, because the balance of the medical insurance card may be insufficient.
2. Having a medical insurance card does not mean having medical insurance benefits. Some people's cards are expired or invalid, so they may not be insured or stopped. Only those who enjoy medical insurance benefits have outpatient co-ordination treatment.
3. Some people who joined the insurance in 200 1 or 2002 should add three zeros (000) when entering the card number, otherwise it will be displayed as invalid or nonexistent. Although the medical insurance center does not require the insured to bring an ID card, some hospitals need to show it to verify personal information, so it is better to bring it.
Take one-inch color photos when choosing scenic spots. If you forget to bring it, the hospital will generally handle the point selection and medical reimbursement, but you need subsidies when you go home, otherwise it will affect your second medical treatment. 5. When choosing two medical institutions, one large and one small, it must be handled on the spot, or relatives and friends can bring information to handle it on their behalf.
Both hospitals need to be present, not just one hospital.
6. Medical tips
First, foreign bodies enter the eyes. Any tiny object or liquid, even a grain of sand or a drop of detergent, will cause eye pain and even damage the cornea.
First aid: First, blink hard and frequently, and wash away foreign objects with tears. If not, pinch your eyelids and rinse your eyes under the tap.
Be sure to take off your contact lenses. Absolutely forbidden: Don't rub your eyes, even tiny foreign bodies will scratch the cornea and cause infection.
If a foreign body enters the deep part of the eye, you must seek medical attention immediately. Light alarm: if corrosive liquid spills into eyes, you must go to the hospital immediately for treatment; If the eyes are still uncomfortable after self-treatment, burning sensation, edema or blurred vision appear, you need to ask a doctor to treat them with professional instruments, and you must not act rashly.
Second, sprain When the ligaments around the joints are stretched too much and exceed the level they can bear, sprains will occur, and sprains are usually accompanied by bruising and edema. First aid: within 24 hours of sprain, try to use ice packs for half an hour every other hour.
Wrap the injured part with elastic pressure bandage and pad the injured part. After 24 hours, the affected area was replaced by hot compress to promote blood circulation in the injured area.
Absolutely forbidden: you can't move the injured joint at will, otherwise it will easily cause ligament tear and it is relatively difficult to recover. Warning: If after several days of self-treatment and rest, the affected area is still painful and inconvenient to move, then it may be a fracture, muscle strain or ligament rupture, and you need to go to the hospital immediately.
Third, nosebleeds nosebleeds are caused by the rupture of blood vessels in the nasal cavity, and the blood vessels in the nose are very fragile, so nosebleeds are also common small accidents. First aid: lean forward slightly and hold the cartilage under the bridge of the nose with your fingers for about 5- 15 minutes.
If conditions permit, putting a small ice pack on the bridge of the nose can also stop bleeding quickly. Absolutely forbidden: Forcibly raising your head backwards will cause nosebleeds to flow into your mouth, and some blood will be sucked into your lungs in a panic, which is neither safe nor hygienic.
Warning: If the nosebleed cannot be stopped for 20 minutes, the patient should go to the hospital for help immediately. If nosebleeds are too frequent without any reason, or accompanied by headache, tinnitus, decreased vision, dizziness and other symptoms, you must also go to the hospital for treatment, because your brain may have been shaken or hit hard.
Fourth, burns and scalds are divided into three levels: first-degree burns can cause redness and tingling of the skin; After the second degree burn, you will see obvious blisters; Third-degree burns can lead to skin ulceration and blackening. First aid: Once scalded, immediately wash the scalded part under running water or apply cold compress with a cold towel. If the burn area is large, the injured person should soak his whole body in a bathtub filled with cold water.
Gauze or bandage can be loosely wrapped around the scald to protect the wound. Absolutely forbidden: don't use ice to treat burns. Ice will damage the damaged skin and make the wound worse.
Don't puncture the blister, or you will leave a scar. Don't casually apply antibiotic ointment or grease to the wound, these sticky substances are easy to get dirty.
Warning: Third degree burns, electric shock burns and chemical burns must go to the hospital. In addition, if the patient has cough, watery eyes or difficulty breathing, he needs the help of a professional doctor.
If the second degree burn area is larger than the palm, the patient should also go to the hospital. Professional treatment can avoid leaving scars. 5. Asphyxiation Real suffocation rarely occurs in real life. Choking on drinking water or choking on food is generally not suffocation.
When suffocation occurs, the patient will not have a strong cough, can't talk or breathe, and his face will turn red or blue-purple in a short time. First aid: First of all, call an ambulance.
In the process of waiting for the ambulance, the following measures need to be taken: let the patient lean forward and pat the patient's back between his shoulders with his palm. If it doesn't work, you need to stand behind the patient, put your fist against the patient's abdomen and back, hold your fist with the other hand, and push it up and down five times to help the patient breathe.
Patients can also take such self-help measures: put their abdomen against hard objects, such as kitchen countertops, and then squeeze their abdomen hard to make things stuck in their throats pop out. Absolutely forbidden: don't feed water or other food to patients who are coughing.
Light the alarm: as long as there is suffocation, you need to call an ambulance to rescue the patient quickly. 6. Family poisoning is generally caused by eating cleaning products, inhaling carbon monoxide or ingesting pesticides.
First aid: If the patient is unconscious or has difficulty breathing, call an ambulance quickly and be prepared to answer the following questions: what substance is ingested or inhaled, how much, the patient's weight, age and poisoning time. Absolutely forbidden: Calling an ambulance only after symptoms appear will often delay the treatment time.
While waiting for help, don't give the patient anything to eat or drink, and don't try to help the patient induce vomiting, because some toxic substances may harm other organs of the patient during vomiting. Early warning: As long as poisoning happens, you need to call an ambulance to rescue the patient quickly.
Seven, the head "attacks" the skull itself is very hard, so the general external force rarely causes skull damage. If the external force is too strong, the fragile blood vessels in the neck, back and head will become "victims".
First aid: If you have a bag on your head, applying an ice pack to the affected area can reduce edema. If the head begins to bleed after being smashed, the treatment is the same as being cut, that is, use a clean towel to hold the wound to stop bleeding, and then go to the hospital to sew the wound and check whether there is internal injury.
If the injured person faints, you need to call an ambulance and take it to the hospital without delay. Absolutely forbidden: don't let the injured fall asleep alone.
Within 24 hours of being smashed, someone must accompany the injured. If the injured person is asleep, wake the injured person every three hours and ask the injured person to answer a few simple questions to ensure that the injured person is not in a coma and has no intracranial injury, such as concussion. Light alarm: when the injured person has convulsions.
7. What is the common sense of studying abroad for medical treatment in the United States?
Seeing a doctor in the United States is different from seeing a doctor in China. Generally speaking, when you are sick, you don't immediately go to the hospital to queue up and then go to see a doctor.
If it is not an emergency, it is generally necessary to make an appointment 3-4 days in advance (even if it is a school hospital, it is generally necessary to make an appointment one or two days in advance) and arrive on time. Be sure to briefly describe your illness to the doctor's assistant when making an appointment.
Finally, your designated private doctor or family doctor will listen to and check the condition, make a diagnosis and prescribe. Different from China, the first thing to do in the hospital lobby is not to pay money, but to go to the reception desk to get some forms, including insurance information form and physical condition statement form.
The former only needs to fill in the insurance company, insurance type and insurer number correctly (so the medical insurance card should be carried with you at any time), while the latter describes the physical condition in detail. Fill out the form and send it back to the reception desk, just waiting for the nurse to call.
The named patient will be taken to a special examination room by the nurse, and finally you will be examined. About purchasing medicines: In America, medicines are separated. General hospitals do not provide any drugs. In addition to general drugs such as vitamins, prescription drugs must be prescribed by a doctor.
Drugs can basically be bought in pharmacies such as CVS and Walgreen. About dental care: dental care is extremely expensive in the United States.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you have a good examination of your teeth and wisdom teeth in the hospital before you leave. For TA or RA, the medical insurance of many schools usually does not include dental insurance, so if necessary, you need to buy dental insurance separately.
Dentist insurance usually has more restrictions than general health insurance, for example, you can only go to a designated dentist and have a high out-of-pocket payment. The following are some tips about studying abroad for medical treatment in the United States, which I hope will help you: Appointment: No matter what illness you see in the United States, you must make an appointment by phone. Don't go there in a hurry. Many doctors will not accept patients without appointments.
The medical expenses in the United States are world-famous, so it is recommended that international students get medical insurance as soon as possible. Generally speaking, American colleges and universities have a student insurance system.
It is best for international students to carry their medical insurance cards and credit cards with them at ordinary times, because most hospitals will require patients to fill in the name of medical insurance company, insurance period and number when seeking medical treatment. Avoid saving money: for international students, headaches, fever, colds and colds can be solved by buying some pills in supermarkets or pharmacies.
But if it is a serious illness, it is best to go to the hospital. Don't delay treatment in order to save money. Seek relief: For patients who are seriously ill and must be hospitalized, but have not participated in medical insurance due to economic reasons, some states (such as California) and hospitals in the United States will help patients find some charitable organizations to provide relief.
8. What is the common sense of medical treatment in Australia?
Handling medical insurance Generally, when Australian students arrive at Australian universities, the school will arrange for students to purchase medical insurance.
Medical expenses in Australia are very expensive, especially hospitalization expenses. After purchasing medical insurance, the burden on students can be greatly reduced. There are three major insurance companies in Australia that provide health insurance for international students, namely MedibankPrivate, OSHCWorldcare and AHM.
They will pay more than 80% of the medical expenses, prescription drugs and emergency ambulance fees for international students during their study abroad. If you are hospitalized, all medical expenses (except dental and optometry) will be paid by you.
In addition, general universities have their own medical service centers, and minor illnesses such as colds can be treated in the medical service centers, and services are generally free. To study and live in Australia, you need to know three major medical institutions: 1 and private clinics: the doctors in these clinics are general family doctors.
In Australia, you can see a family doctor for minor illnesses such as a cold and fever. 2. Medical Center: If students are slightly ill, they can choose a private general hospital to see a doctor. It should be noted that the cost of private general hospitals is higher than that of private clinics, especially the cost of instrument testing.
3. Hospital: Unlike domestic registration queues, nurses in Australian hospitals will classify patients into 1 to 5 grades according to the urgency of their symptoms. 1 grade and grade 2 patients are seriously ill and are the first patients to see a doctor. Patients in grades 4 and 5 have to wait until the patients in grade 3 have finished reading.
9. What is the common sense of studying abroad for medical treatment in France?
In France, medical care is open, and everyone is free to choose their own doctor.
According to the regulations, a student studying and living in France, if under the age of 28, needs to buy medical insurance of 165 euros, valid for one year. This is necessary for international students to apply for a one-year student residence permit in France.
165 euro medical insurance stipulates that common headaches and brain fever are fully reimbursed, and major diseases such as pneumonia, tumor and cancer are reimbursed according to a certain proportion. It can be said that as long as it is not a serious illness, you can basically reimburse yourself.
But experts suggest that it is best to find a doctor who has an agreement with * * *, that is, their consultation fee is determined by the social security department (20 euros for general doctors and 24 euros for specialists, of which about 70% can be reimbursed). Doctor's prescription and medical record certificate: a prescription is a medicine prescription or a test certificate issued by a doctor. You must show the prescription when you go to a pharmacy for dispensing or testing.
Feuille de maladie is a voucher for medical expenses such as medical treatment, dispensing and examination; When applying for reimbursement to social medical insurance institutions, medical records and copies of prescriptions must be sent. Vitale universal medical card Since 2000, France has gradually implemented the universal medical card system in Vitale.
Everyone who enjoys social medical insurance can get this medical card for free, and doctors and pharmacists can use this card to automatically record and transmit medical expense reimbursement applications through electronic channels. Using this card can avoid sending medical records to social medical insurance institutions and speed up reimbursement processing.
The university infirmary is dedicated to serving college students. The infirmary can provide medical and health checks.
The department of preventive medicine of the school can also provide a series of free services, such as disease prevention and control investigation, dental diagnosis and expert consultation. Experts studying in France pointed out that there are several different types of medical institutions in France, such as public hospitals, private clinics and ordinary private clinics.
The difference between them lies not in the quality of medical care, but in the reimbursement ratio of medical expenses. In public hospitals and social medical insurance institutions, the medical expenses of private clinics can be reimbursed 80%, while the medical expenses of non-private clinics can only be reimbursed about 10%.
Every public hospital has an emergency department that is open day and night. When seeing a doctor in a public hospital, the self-care part (called "Ticket modérateur" in French) that is not reimbursed by the social medical insurance institution must be paid by itself.
If you are hospitalized, both public hospitals and private clinics should pay 10. Accommodation fee is 67 euros/day; Only when the supplementary medical insurance is insured, this fixed fee will be reimbursed by the supplementary medical insurance company.
In France, if you go to see a dentist and get glasses, if you don't apply for supplementary medical insurance, the reimbursement level of ordinary social medical insurance institutions will be very poor. However, in the affiliated health centers of universities or medical schools with dentistry and ophthalmology, fresh graduates of related majors can provide free treatment under the supervision of doctors.
The list of free compulsory vaccination and prevention centers can be obtained from your city. Pharmacy In France, all drugs that need a doctor's prescription to be sold are monopolized by pharmacies.
The green cross sign of the drugstore is very eye-catching. Business hours are 9:00- 19:00, and some are open until 23: 00. It is closed on Sunday, Monday morning and holidays. However, every market generally has a pharmacy on duty in case of emergency.
All licensed pharmacists must hold a national doctorate in pharmacy and register with the National Pharmacists Association. Therefore, pharmacists are capable and qualified to provide pharmaceutical advice.
In order to ensure medical emergency services, doctors and pharmacists are on duty in both urban and rural areas of France. The list of doctors and pharmacists on duty can be found in pharmacies or in the service column of local newspapers.
The emergency telephone number that can be used in case of emergency in France is: Sam: 15 Fire and Rescue Office: 18 If you make a phone call, you can dial the unique number: 1 12.
