ABSTRACT

Building an integrated health care service system is key to the Healthy China strategy. Based on the integrated health care service conceptual framework, the authors took two pilots regions of health-centered medical alliances in Zhejiang province as an example, and analyzed their conception framework, organizational structure, operation elements and effects. The study found initial success of the two alliances in terms of the contents, capabilities, effects and satisfaction of primary health care service. Such alliances feature a health-centered multi-entity participation mechanism, carry out health care and prevention integration leveraging the information platform, hence conducive to the effective governance of the alliances. However, the contents of their health related services are expected to be broadened and deepened; functionalities of health-related institutions need to be clarified and refined, while their performance appraisal needs to be further improved.
