“…Coming together in this way also may serve to improve methods of data collection. 41,42 This work has several limitations and strengths. Ecological studies, while allowing for analyses of cancer incidence and mortality trends in relation to FQHC availability, do not allow to control for individual-level factors, such as obesity, behavioral factors, socioeconomic characteristics, etc., which are necessary for estimating effect modification or controlling confounding.…”

“…FQHCs are interested in research, however, they face barriers such as balancing patient care with research and lack of capacity. Providing training and technical assistance would be beneficial to FQHCs to lessen the burden of research engagement . Research partners could assist FQHCs in improving health care outcomes and overcome barriers to research participation through capacity building, especially in terms of addressing staff and financial limitations.…”

Background Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) provide a health care safety net for underserved populations and contribute unique expertise to research that could further enhance quality of patient care. The purpose of this research was to assess interest in, readiness to, and capacity for conducting research in FQHCs in South Carolina (SC). Methods A web-based survey was administered to 20 FQHCs across SC. Fourteen representatives of FQHCs completed the 39-item survey that assessed research experience and interest, partnerships and funding, barriers and benefits to research participation, training and technical assistance needs, and research capacity. Results FQHCs are interested in conducting research. FQHCs reported that health center leadership, organizational benefit, active engagement of staff, and clear roles for partners were important factors for successful partnerships. Inequity of budget and resources were the greatest challenges encountered. Improved patient outcomes, additional resources for the center, reduction in disparities, and academic partnerships were considered benefits for participation. FQHCs were interested in training and technical assistance opportunities for research funding and best practices for the use of research to inform programs and services. Conclusions FQHCs are willing to collaborate on research. For successful research partnerships, collaborators should understand FQHCs’ challenges and barriers to participation.

Community health service centers are community-level medical institutions that implement a tiered diagnosis and treatment system, whose development profoundly impacts the establishment of basic medical and health systems with Chinese characteristics. Improving and enhancing medical service quality is a key problem for community health service centers.This study is based on the gap theory of service quality and the three-dimensional theory of “structure-process-outcome” quality evaluation. Taking the medical service of Beijing Tianqiao Community Health Service Center as an example, this study constructs an index system of medical service quality evaluation. Through the investigation of 211 people, SPSS software was used for data processing and analysis. The study found that most patients has evaluated the medical service quality in beijing tianqiao community health service center as greater than expectations, whose qualified items accounted for 93%. Among them, the scores of efficient business handling, docking and referral with large hospitals and accurately recording the diagnosis and treatment process are high, while the actual perception scores of patients on reasonable distribution of departments and clear signs and multiple types of specialist clinics are lower than the expected scores. Through communication with patients and hospitals, on the one hand, in the form of COVID-19, patients are willing to choose community hospitals if they are not suffering from serious diseases in order to reduce the risk of infection. On the other hand, in order to facilitate the masses and reduce the pressure of class III hospitals, the government has invested a lot of funds in the development of community hospitals, and patient satisfaction has been improved. As more and more people go to community hospitals, people have higher and higher requirements for the distribution of departments and diversified specialist clinics. Based on this, some suggestions are put forward to establish and add specialized departments and consider using technologies such as information IT to improve the convenience of medical treatment for the elderly.
