Construction strategy of medical resource integration in regional medical alliance based on grounded theory / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective:To explore the integration path of medical resources in regional medical consortium, find out the problems affecting the process of integration, and put forward relevant suggestions.Methods:Methods According to the purposive sampling and combined with grounded theoretical research methods, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 73 government officials, heads and backbones of medical institutions in different regions of a city from August to November 2019. The data obtained from semi-structured interviews were analyzed by using grounded theory, and the path framework of medical resource integration in regional medical consortium was constructed through open coding, spindle coding and selective coding.Results:Four key links of medical resource integration in the regional medical alliance were sorted out, namely, integration prerequisites, integration strategies, support conditions, and integration methods, which together constituted the main axis of the theoretical framework. In addition, integration methods were affected by integration prerequisites, integration strategies and support conditions. The four factors and integration willingness served as influencing factors to exert impact on the integration tendency.Conclusions:The integration of medical resources in the medical alliance is a systematic project, which emphasizes the organic and overall governance of each key link, and the interaction between various elements will affect the final effect of medical resource integration.

A comparative study on the promotion of grid-based medical alliances at home and abroad / 中华医院管理杂志

With the progress of the hierarchical medical system, the top-level design for building medical alliances is exhibiting a clearer picture. The Chinese government sets about trying to build a grid-based medical system layout, covering from national, provincial, municipal, county, township, all the way to village level. Based on the analysis of regional grid-based medical systems in the United States, Switzerland, Singapore and Canada, the authors reviewed the development of grid-based health service system in China, and found out key roadblocks for grid-based medical alliances. These problems include the organizational structure, service content, management mechanism, payment system and other aspects, and corresponding countermeasures and suggestions were proposed in the end.
