Health management needs standardization / 中华预防医学杂志

ABSTRACT

This article illustrates that health management, as one of the tools of health service, plays an important role in the control and treatment of chronic diseases as well as the history of health management development in China. It was pointed out that currently the concept of health management is not well established in China and the practice of health management in the Chinese market is quite in a mess. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the standardization of health management practice. The China Health Management Association released an organizational standard entitled "Standard for Chronic Disease Health Management" in November, 2019. It is comprehensive, science-based, easy to use and fit into the Chinese situation and it is expected that it will facilitate the development of health management in China.
