What is a medical association?

Medical association refers to the joint organization of medical institutions formed by the integration of vertical or horizontal medical resources of different levels and categories of medical institutions.

Promoting the construction of medical association is an important measure and system innovation to deepen the reform of medical and health system, an important step to speed up the establishment of basic medical and health system, an institutional innovation to build an integrated medical and health service system, and an important starting point to actively promote the vertical integration of medical and health service resources in the whole region, promote the sinking of high-quality medical resources, build a scientific and orderly medical order, and effectively facilitate people's medical treatment.

Extended data:

The construction of medical association is a systematic project, and the promotion work mainly focuses on the following aspects:

1. Promote the integration of internal medical resources.

Achieve a unified medical management system, service behavior norms and diagnosis and treatment norms within the medical association, and improve the scientific, standardized and refined management level of the medical association. Strengthen the management of medical quality and safety and standardize the management of pharmaceutical consumables. Unify the drug list in the medical association to provide necessary drug supply guarantee for patients who see a doctor at the grassroots level and transfer to the grassroots level for treatment.

2. Establish a standardized two-way referral mechanism.

Give full play to the advantages of talents, technology and equipment in the core hospitals in the medical association, and at the same time use the service functions and network resources of each member unit to establish a two-way referral green channel. Based on the principles of slow treatment, continuous treatment, scientific and orderly, safe and convenient, the medical association guides patients to cooperate voluntarily and smooth two-way referral.

3. Increase technical assistance and departmental assistance.

Strengthen the business guidance and technical support functions of the higher-level institutions of the medical association to the lower-level institutions, strengthen the construction of weak departments of the lower-level institutions, actively promote appropriate technologies, and cultivate at least 1~2 characteristic brand departments for each member unit.

4, strengthen the "trinity" to ensure the foundation.

We will promote the contract service of family doctors, set up a family doctor service team with general practitioners as the core, and give priority to health guidance, outpatient appointment, chronic disease management, family beds, two-way referral and other policies through the contract service. Timely supplement, stabilize and optimize the team of rural doctors, constantly consolidate the "net bottom" and play the role of "gatekeeper" for people's health.

5. Realize the integration of information systems.

Relying on the regional population health information platform, we can realize the interconnection of information systems among medical and health institutions in the medical association, form a collaborative mechanism, effectively enjoy service resources, and timely and smooth medical information, so as to realize the "upward push" of residents' electronic health records and the "downward transmission" of the core contents of electronic medical records.

6. Improve the sharing platform of regional medical resources.

Give full play to the role of regional imaging consultation center, ECG consultation center, inspection and testing center and disinfection supply center, provide homogeneous and integrated services for medical and health institutions in the medical association, and realize mutual recognition of inspection results in the region.
