Influence of the Integrated Delivery System on the Medical Serviceability of Primary Hospitals

Abstract

Objective. To explore the change in the medical serviceability of primary hospitals since the establishment of the Huzhou No. 1 People’s Hospital medical care group incorporating the integrated delivery system. Methods. With reference to the “Grade Evaluation Standard of General Hospitals in Zhejiang Province” and the “Guidelines for Service Capacity Evaluation of Township Hospitals (2019 Edition),” we analyzed the influence of the integrated delivery system on the capacity of primary medical services and selected the targeted core indicators. From the four dimensions of diagnosis and treatment breadth, diagnosis and treatment efficiency, surgical ability, and patient satisfaction, an index evaluation system was established to explore the changes in the medical serviceability in primary hospitals. Results. The measurements were aimed at four specific issues, that is, the low medical technology level of grassroots personnel, the poor information communication among medical institutions, the difficulty in recruiting people, and the imperfect training mechanism in primary hospitals. After establishing a series of measurements related to the problems faced by the primary healthcare sector in China, the score of breadth of diagnosis and treatment, efficiency of diagnosis and treatment ability, surgical ability, and patient satisfaction of the primary hospitals in our medical group have greatly increased. Conclusion. The integrated delivery system improved the primary hospitals’ medical health ability obviously. Our study also provides various useful and operable suggestions for primary healthcare.

What are the experiences of medical students and their trainers regarding undergraduate training in primary health care at four South African medical schools? A qualitative study

“…Coordinated care has been described as the integration of health care among providers “across levels of care and time” ( 52 ); care that is patient-centered, taking into consideration the patient’s needs and preferences ( 53 ), and sharing information among all the participants concerned with a patient’s care, aimed at achieving safer and more effective care ( 54 ). In this study, students narrated that various disciplines trained them on collaborative patient care, giving them insight on which patient’s condition should be attended to by which discipline, including receiving back patients who had initially been referred to other disciplines.…”

Trends in output of hypertension management and associated factors in primary care facilities: a latent trajectory analysis in China from 2009 to 2017

“…Therefore, we recommend that township hospitals improve management quality to increase the prevalence of control and decrease or delay complications by increasing the frequency of follow-up visits and medication guides [ 33 ]. By comparison, facilities in urban areas had lower management output, which might be related to the self-medication [ 34 ] and the disconnect of the information system between hospitals and primary care facilities [ 35 ]. Urban residents sought treatment freely because of more hospitals in urban areas, and the lack of trust in primary care facilities led to bypassing community health centres [ 36 ].…”

Utilising Failure Mode and Effect Analysis and the Kano Model for Induction Stove Performance Improvement During Indonesia’s Energy Conversion Program

“…Induction stove manufacturers are also highly suggested to develop a service centre to handle complaints, damage and guarantees for induction stoves. Ease of repair and service has been shown to increase user satisfaction (Afshar-Bakeshloo et al, 2021;Feng et al, 2021) and has become part of the dimensions of product quality (Garvin, 1984).…”
