ABSTRACT

Since 2007, the State Administration of TCM has implemented the preventive treatment of TCM health project, support the development of the Preventive treatment Section, issued the TCM health management service standards for special groups, and vigorously established the TCM preventive health service system. The thought of preventive treatment in TCM fully embodies the thinking mode of preventive and health care for TCM, but health management is a specific process of monitoring, evaluation, intervention and follow-up of health risk factors. In this paper, through comparative research methods, we analyzed the similarities and differences between preventive treatment of TCM and health management from historical origins, ideological content, guiding ideology, and key strategies and techniques, and we have discovered preventive treatment of TCM has more obvious advantages in theoretical height and comprehensive conditioning, and modern health management is more advanced in the application process and technical means. Their common points in the pursuit of health promotion and disease prevention, the emphasis on holistic medical concepts, and the focus on health risk factors, and the possible fusion of preventive treatment of TCM and health management in core ideas, theory and practice and technical methods, especially for prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of sub-health, constitution bias, chronic diseases and other groups. The phased monitoring-assessment-intervention approach under the guidance of the idea of preventive treatment can provide suggestions for the development ideas of TCM health management. Research on TCM health risks monitoring and assessment in different life cycles needs to be strengthened.
