ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand and analyze the current situation of core competence of graduate midwives in standardized training in Sichuan Province, so as to provide a reference for the training of midwives in Sichuan Province.Methods:A total of 102 midwives who participated in standardized training and graduated from July 2016 to June 2018 in Sichuan Province were investigated by using general information questionnaire (including 14 items of general information, occupational literacy and hospital conditions) and Midwives Core Competence Scale (including 54 items and 6 dimensions). Among 109 questionnaires distributed, 102 valid questionnaires were collected. SPSS 21.0 was used to analyze the results by single factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Results:The average total score of the core competency scale in this study was (203.470±32.398). The scores of postpartum health care and prenatal health care were relatively high, while the score of public health care was relatively low. Multivariate regression analysis showed that whether the maternal and infant health certificates were obtained during the training period, and whether there was a training system for midwives alone and arrangements of department rotation were the influencing factors of the core competence of the graduate midwives ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The core competence of midwives in standardized training in Sichuan province is at the middle level. The standardized training of midwives is at the initial stage and lack of systematic management. Hence, it is urgent to build a unified and standardized training system.
ABSTRACT
The experience of various countries proves that the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment model can lead to reasonable resources allocation and utilization, however, the waste of China''s disordered treatment model has not been estimated.Nowadays, it is very important to establish a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system during China''s healthcare system reform.Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the benefit the reform may bring.We take Zhejiang Province as an example, and adopted the system dynamics model to build the health delivery system, to emulate the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment model and the disordered model, and to evaluate the benefit.Results showed that if first option at the primary health institutions increased 10%, it could save 0.251 billion yuan, and if increased 15%, it could save 0.39 billion yuan.If the first option at the primary health institution reached 72.35% and the treatment in county reached 90%, the outpatient in tertiary hospital could reduce by 13 million, and those in primary healthcare institutions could increase by 74 million yuan.The direct healthcare cost could reduce 3.016 billion Yuan.
ABSTRACT
Analyzed in the paper is the current subsidy mechanism for public hospitals in Zhejiang province, with analysis of problems found. The authors recommended to build a mass fraction subsidy mechanism to cover up the insufficiency of government financial subsidy; to fully leverage the price compensation of medical services; to subsidize in view of the functional positioning of various medical institutions;and explore more channels for public hospitals′subsidies.
ABSTRACT
Objective To find a selection method system appropriate for China's essential drug list.Methods Collection and analysis of technical paper literature on essential drug list developement,adjustment technical papers,and literature on evidence-based medicine,pharmacoeconomics evaluation,and medical insurance budget analysis from WHO and other countries.On such basis,a method system for selecting China's essential medicine list can be proposed,with its feasibility analyzed and demonstrated.Results The GRADE assessment proposed by WHO was used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the drug;the pharmacy economics evaluation is added to assess the economic efficiency;these were aided by the pharmacoeconomics evaluation for a comprehensive evaluation of the pharmacoeconomics of the drug in question,supplementing analysis of the medical insurance,and ensuring its affordability of essential medicine so selected.The theory of this system is well developed,and supporting software ready for application.Examples in Zhejiang Province regarding essential medicine for diabetes have proved this method feasible.Data acquisition constitutes a major roadblock for scientific selection due to barriers against medical insurance data sharing.Conclusions Theoretic basis and method tools are fully available for essential medicine selection,and the selection method system as proposed in this study prove feasible to some extent.Decision makers are recommended to scientifically select the essential drugs,and to encourage data sharing,in order to make the list more scientific and pragmatic.
