The National Health Commission (NHC), National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and National Disease Control and Prevention Administration jointly released a notification to guide the informatization function of compact county-level medical communities. This initiative aims to enhance healthcare service integration and efficiency at the county level through advanced information technology.
Core Functions and Services
The document outlines 36 functions across five key areas for informatization in compact county-level medical communities. These include regional medical service collaboration, convenient service integration, medical management coordination, public health service collaboration, and comprehensive management of grassroots healthcare. Specific informatization functions cover seven resource-sharing centers: medical imaging diagnosis, ECG diagnosis, medical laboratory, pathological diagnosis, remote consultation, disinfection supply, and medical emergency, along with various “Internet plus” medical services.
Implementation Requirements
The notification emphasizes the need for provincial and municipal authorities to strengthen overall planning and integrated deployment. It calls for unified information management requirements, optimized system collaboration and data sharing, and enhanced data security. The document also highlights typical cases in Dongtai City (Jiangsu Province), Sanming City (Fujian Province), and Jiashan County (Zhejiang Province) as models for effective implementation.-Fineline Info & Tech
