The Technical Specifications for Evaluation of Age-friendly Medical Institutions is a set of evaluation standard for admittance of age-friendly medical institutions. The standard was prepared by Beijing Geriatric Hospital, organized by Beijing Municipal Health Commission and issued by Beijing Municipal Bureau of Market Supervision and Administration in 2021. The standard evaluates the construction of age-friendly medical institutions in four profiles, involving age-friendly culture, age-friendly management, age-friendly service, and age-friendly environment, and standardizes the specific links in the medical institutions evaluation and acceptance, displaying important guiding value for construction activities of national age-friendly medical institutions.
Objective To provide some theoretical reference and practical guidance for the medical risk management and early warning of private medical institutions, and to improve the service level and social reputation of private medical institutions. Methods China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, and Web of Science database were searched for literature on medical risk management of private medical institutions published from the dates of establishment of databases to July 31, 2023. CiteSpace software was used for analysis. The aspects of literature number, literature source, author-institution cooperation, keyword co-occurrence, keyword clustering and burst were analyzed. Results A total of 2 635 literature were detected. Among them, there were 1446 articles in Chinese and 1189 articles in English. Although domestic research started late, it covered a wide range of disciplines and research fields. The Chinese literature showed a growth trend in the medium term, but the growth trend was slower than that of foreign literature. At the same time, the cooperation network of foreign authors and institutions was closer than that of domestic ones, and the overall development was relatively insufficient. There were differences between domestic and foreign research hotspots in terms of disciplines and research contents. Conclusions It is necessary to strengthen the theoretical and practical research on medical risk management of private medical institutions, and accelerate the construction of risk management and early warning models suitable for the characteristics of private medical institutions in China. In the future, the emerging research fields such as moral hazard, emergency and internal control need to be deepened and expanded.
Objective To understand the situation and technical level of aeromedical rescue in medical institutions in Qinling-Daba mountainous area. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted on the staff of medical institutions of the medical consortium of Renmin Hospital of Hubei University of Medicine, located in Qinling-Daba mountainous area between June and September 2023. The basic information and development, demand, and knowledge mastery of aeromedical rescue were investigated. Results A total of 45 medical institutions participated in the research, 500 questionnaires were sent out, and 479 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective rate of 95.8%. Among them, there were 7 tertiary hospitals, 23 secondary hospitals, and 15 township health institutions; 11 medical institutions had participated in aeromedical rescue, and 17 hospitals had participated in aerial rescue drills. The survey subjects were mainly from emergency departments and intensive care medicine departments, women, aged>30 and ≤40 years old, undergraduate students, intermediate professional titles, and doctors. Twenty-one medical workers had received formal training in aeromedical rescue skills, 77 had received short-term theoretical and practical training, 123 had participated in short-term simulation exercises, and 93 had participated in aeromedical rescue activities. There was a statistically significant difference among the scores of first aid knowledge, aviation flight knowledge, and aeromedical rescue knowledge (9.34±0.35 vs. 4.65±2.91 vs. 3.28±3.44; F=15.048, P=0.001). There were statistically significant differences between first aid knowledge and aviation flight knowledge, as well as between first aid knowledge and aeromedical rescue knowledge (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between aviation flight knowledge and aeromedical medical rescue knowledge (P>0.05). Conclusion There is an urgent demand for aviation rescue in medical institutions in Qinling-Daba mountainous area, and there is a shortage of professionals, so it is necessary to strengthen the training, rehearsal and practice of aeromedical rescue.
Objective To explore the impact of Diagnosis-Intervention Packet (DIP) reform on the operation of pilot county-level hospital, analyze the challenges that hospitals may face in DIP reform, and propose strategies to adapt to the reform. Methods The settlement list data of inpatients insured by medical insurance for 2022 from a county-level tertiary public hospital in Jiuquan City, Gansu Province were collected, where DIP was planned to operate. The DIP payment was simulated, and the operational status of the hospital and departments after implementing DIP reform was analyzed based on enrollment status, cost deviation, length of stay, hospitalization expenses, and DIP payment as relevant indicators. Results Under the implementation of DIP payment, the overall enrollment rate of the hospital was 98.1%, including 85.4% in the core group, 7.0% in the comprehensive group, and 7.6% in the grassroots group. Normal costs accounted for 88.9%, deviation costs accounted for 11.1%, with high magnification cases accounting for 1.9% and low magnification cases accounting for 9.2%. The payment standard for all cases included in the hospital according to DIP was 15.464 million yuan, the total amount paid by the pooling fund was 19.986 million yuan, and the difference between DIP payment and payment by project was –4.522 million yuan. Conclusion There is a significant difference in the medical insurance payments received by county-level hospitals after implementing DIP payment, and there is an urgent need to adapt to the DIP payment reform as soon as possible.
