Improving people's health security level is an important symbol of building a well-off society in an all-round way. To build a well-off society in an all-round way, we must first maintain good health. People's health is not healthy, even if the material wealth is rich, it can't be regarded as a well-off society. With the increase of life expectancy and chronic diseases, how to use limited resources to improve the quality of life and minimize the social burden is a major challenge we are facing in the new era. According to a research report of the World Health Organization, one third of human diseases can be avoided through preventive health care, one third can be effectively controlled through early detection, and one third can improve the treatment effect through effective communication of information. Therefore, our maintenance of health is not only the treatment of diseases, but also the "prevention" before diseases come.
Health management is a personalized health affairs management service based on personal health records. Based on modern biomedical and information management technology models, it provides all-round health protection services for everyone from social, psychological and biological perspectives. It helps and guides people to master and maintain their health successfully and effectively. However, the traditional medical professionals can no longer meet the growing demand for health care services. Therefore, it is necessary for health managers to become an independent profession.
As a discipline and industry, health management occurred in the last twenty or thirty years. It was first popular in Europe and America, and gradually formed an independent industry. The rise of this industry is due to the needs of the market, especially the extension of people's life expectancy and the increase of various chronic diseases, and the resulting medical expenses continue to rise sharply. The need to control medical expenses and ensure personal health benefits has strongly promoted the development of health management.
