ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the time consumption of clinical trial projects in each link of contract signing in medical institutions and its influencing factors, to provide a reference for further optimizing the clinical trial management process and improving the efficiency of contract signing.Methods:All of the review records of projects that signed clinical trial contracts at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1st, 2018 to December 31st, 2021 were retrospectively analyzed by comparing the time consumption in each link before signing the contracts and the frequency of contract reviews. Multiple linear regressions were applied to multivariate analyze the influence of different factors on contract signing.Results:A total of 761 clinical trial contracts signed at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2018 to 2021 were included in this study, and the average time consumption of contract signing was 127.0 days, among which the consumption of contract review by the hospital was 10.5 days and by sponsors was 99.0 days. The time consumption of contract signing has been decreasing in recent 4 years, from 154.0 days in 2018 to 104.0 days in 2021. The phase of clinical trials, category of sponsors, frequency of contract reviews, and different policies of the institutions were the main influencing factors for contract signing time ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Clinical trial institutions should optimize the contract approval progress, provide agreement templates and targeted service, and strengthen propaganda and information system construction, to improve the efficiency of reviewing and signing clinical trial contracts.
ABSTRACT
Objective To put forward suggestions for improving the scheme of general practice for functional communities from the perspective of supply and demand,guide the efficient use of the resources of general practice by the communities,and incorporate the general practice of communities into hierarchical diagnosis and treatment management. Methods In July 2021,stratified random sampling was employed to conduct the questionnaire surveys of the young and middle-aged (demand side) and the general practitioners (supply side),respectively.SPSS 20.0 was used for data analysis. Results The two sides had the same cognition about the main reasons for not signing a contract with a family doctor,which were the lack of knowledge about general practitioners and the lack of face-to-face communication opportunities.They had the same response about the form of services,with high acceptance of medical services via WeChat,outpatient consultation,and the internet.There were differences in service content between the two sides.The top three demands of the young and middle-aged were appointment registration and referral in superior hospitals,medication guidance,and massage,acupuncture,and moxibustion.The top service self-rated by general practitioners was personalized guidance and report interpretation of physical examination,and the bottom was massage,acupuncture,and moxibustion. Conclusions The general practice varies between the demand and supply sides.General practitioners should be encouraged to enter and learn functional communities and provide personalized services,thus improving the general medical service in functional communities.

Objective:To investigate the awareness rate of " 1+ 1+ 1" contracted residents in the outer suburbs of Shanghai on the extended prescription policy of the family doctor contract service, and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:From March to May, 2021, the cluster random sampling method was used to select one community health service center in Fengxian district, Shanghai, and a smart voice telephone assistant survey was conducted among the contracted residents aged 18 and above in the area, to understand their awareness of the extended prescription policy. χ2 Test was used for single factor analysis on the influence of different factors on the policy awareness of the contracted residents, while a multivariate analysis was performed by binary logistic regression, presenting P<0.05 as statistically significant. Results:A total of 13 495 " 1+ 1+ 1" contracted residents were surveyed via phone calls. Their awareness rate of extended prescription policy was 67.5% (9 115/13 495), while those with higher awareness rates were patients with ≥2 chronic diseases (92.3%), patients with 1 chronic disease (88.5%) and those aged 81 and above (88.4%). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, marital status, the number of chronic diseases and signing duration were all independent factors influencing the awareness of extended prescription policy (all P<0.05), while whether the residents were key population groups presented no significant influence on the awareness of extended prescription policy ( P=0.431). Conclusions:The awareness rate of " 1+ 1+ 1" contracted residents in the outer suburbs of Shanghai to the extended prescription policy needs to be further improved and publicity should also be strengthened to extend the policy benefit coverage.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the behavior of seeking medical care for people with disabilities under the background of Health Poverty Alleviation. Methods:Descriptive statistics method was used to analyze the behavior of seeking medical care for people with disabilities based on the data of the National Health Poverty Alleviation Dynamic Management System. Results:The Three Batch action plan mainly focuses on contracted services for chronic diseases; the number of visits for people with disabilities gradually increases, the proportion of visits within the county increases, and the proportion of hospitalizations decreases. The hospitals visited are mainly secondary hospitals, township health hospitals and community health service centers, and the medical expenditure is relatively high. These phenomena are different among disability conditions. Conclusion:The behavior of people with disabilities was remarkably improved after Health Poverty Alleviation. In the future, we should consolidate the achievements of Health Poverty Alleviation, increase the prevention of chronic diseases for people with disabilities, and further improve the accessibility of medical services and the level of medical security for people with disabilities.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the demands and needs of patients contracting for family doctor service in Nanjing Gulou district. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted between July and December 2017 among residents in Nanjing Gulou district. The questionnaire included basic information of residents, willingness to sign service contract with family doctors, annual outpatient needs, demands of service mode, expectation for family doctor service, and willingness to pay. Results A total of 420 questionnaires were distributed and 415 questionnaires were valid. Multivariate analysis of variance suggested that age, income, and understanding of signing family doctor service were independent factors influencing signing intention (P<0.05).The variance analysis trend test indicated that the healthy people had highest willingness of signing, followed by the patients and the pregnant women (F=6.82, P<0.01). The number of annual outpatient service needs for healthy population, hypertensive patients, diabetic patients and pregnant women was(2.64±3.48),(7.02±4.80),(9.98±5.37)and(11.20±4.33)respectively (F=77.94, P<0.01). The average need of outpatient visit for health males was higher than that for females (P<0.01). There were significant differences in outpatient needs between patients with non-complicated hypertensionand complicated hypertension (P<0.01). The most anticipated services for healthy people were health records (74.26％,101/136), medical appointments (56.62％,77/136), and physical check-up (56.62％,77/136);those were management of blood glucose, blood pressure and body weight (70.13％, 108/154), regular testing (66.88％,103/154), follow-up supervision (66.23％,102/154) for chronic patients;those were regular physical examination (80.26％, 61/76), follow-up supervision (50.00％, 38/76) and health records (46.05％, 35/76) for pregnant women. The most popular health communication channel is WeChat, accounting for 44.10％(183/415), followed by outpatient clinic, telephone and internet services, accounting for 37.11％(154/415), 31.57％(131/415)and 11.08％(46/415)respectively. Among those who chose WeChat, 81.4％(149/183) were under 45 years old. And 86.27％(358/415)of people were willing to pay for corresponding signing fees. Conclusion Age, income, and understanding of general practice will affect residents′ willingness to sign the service contract with family doctors. Gender, disease spectrum and number of illnesses affect residents′outpatient service needs. Individualized family doctor service should be provided for people with different health needs.
ABSTRACT

The Matlab simulation software were used to analyze the influencing factors of residents and family physician strategy-making system. We proposed the advice enhancing the enthusiasm of signing the family physician, increasing the proportion of residents signing the personalized service package, reduction of utility loss caused by family physician's "lazy" strategy, the cost reduction of basic medical service provided by family physician, improving the award of effective signing and the punishment mechanism of not ideal health management to make result develop towards the residents' signing the family physician and an integrated basic medical service system.
ABSTRACT
From a review on the reality of Dong-In Hospital which was a hospital founded by Dong-Aa Dong-In-Hywe Foundation which was a corporation of governmental patron around Ulsa(1905) protective treaty between Japan and Korea, and this hospital seemed to be dissoluted just before the annexation signing of Korea to Japan. The building with site of Dong-In Hospital in Taegu was sold to Kyung-Sang Pook-Do province and Jaa-Hye Hospital was constructed instead as a virtual conscience. So it is impossible to say this Jaa-Hye Hospital as the predecessor of Dong-In Hospital although Jaa-Hye Hospital which was belonging to Kyung-Sang Pook-Do province as Kyung-Sang Pook-Do Hospital had changed the name several times until being Taegu Medical School Hospital by using as Taegu Medical Institute College Hospital which was absorbed to U.S. military government after the restoration of independence from Japan. Since 1953 Kyungpook National University absorbed Taegu Medical School, it is possible to use Taegu Medical School Hospital as the predecessor of Kyungpook National University Hospital whereas it is impossible to use Jaa-Hye Hospital as the predecessor with nationality on the basis of the health and medical administrative system.
