2016 China's top ten health care industry trends

One of the hot trends: improving community health care and reducing medical costs

Reducing medical costs is a hot topic for many years. As the medical payment model is gradually linked to value, the medical system will pursue a more cost-effective medical environment in 2016, and for most medical institutions, cost reduction is no longer just a talk.

Everywhere around the world, we are trying our best to reduce costs. Some medical systems are reducing inpatient care costs by using new facilities to reduce hospitalizations. They are called "no bed" hospitals. Some medical institutions have reduced medical costs by establishing virtual hospitals. The Mercy Virtual Medical Service Center in Missouri is the first institution in the world to offer virtual medical services. The digital medical center uses audio and video technology to monitor and treat patients anytime, anywhere.

In China, the rational allocation of medical resources and the expansion of access to health care services are the two major priorities of China's health care reform, and are re-emphasized in the 13th Five-Year Plan. The study found that older people under the age of 70 are more likely to care for the elderly at home or nearby, while older people over the age of 70 need more professional care, such as nursing homes, elderly communities and special care. In addition, a professional and efficient grading system will help improve the accessibility of medical care in rural areas and communities, while not overly increasing the burden on large social hospitals and specialist hospitals. This means we need to provide the right treatment at the right time and place. We have also noticed that more and more regional hospital groups and their affiliated health centers in nearby communities have also provided patients with more choices and increased their confidence in medical services. We need to use a variety of models, such as hospital beds, to improve community health and coverage.

Trend 2: High-tech databases help medical development

In 2016, the global medical industry will enter the era of diversified “non-associated” databases such as doctor notes and medical records with new high-tech methods, fully supporting the medical service system through analysis and summary of a large number of patients and medical data. Change to achieve better service to patients.

To promote such databases, efforts to have a medical system are not enough. Consumers must be willing to share their personal information in order to promote the application of these new features. PwC’s 2015 survey found that consumers are more willing to share personal medical information for their own benefit. Therefore, providing patients with training to understand the importance of data sharing and how to use medical information to improve medical quality and make treatment decisions is an important step in addressing privacy concerns.

In China's medical industry , more and more leading and powerful large-scale general hospitals have realized that the effectiveness of information technology construction has entered the new era of medical information construction and began to focus on building integration. Medical quality control system for electronic medical records. In particular, under the policy guidelines of the 13th Five-Year Plan, the government proposes to promote the promotion of general practitioners, family doctors, and the urgent need for medical services in the urgently needed areas, as well as the in-depth promotion of the national electronic health archives, and to build a clinical decision support system based on a new database. The realization of clinical knowledge with the support of decision-making tools is associated with a specific clinical environment; the knowledge base is integrated into a specific rule engine or clinical system, thereby enabling precision medicine . The establishment of a new database, combined with the integrated electronic medical record system as the core of the clinical information system is the core of future hospital information construction, and will become the key way and means to implement the "medical quality process control, link quality control."

For most domestic hospitals, building a complete quality control platform requires five stages: clinical system with EMR electronic medical record as the core, integrated platform for SOA architecture, construction of quality control rule base, CDR clinical data center, CDSS clinical The construction of a decision support system. In this construction process, the hospital needs a lot of investment in manpower, material resources, financial resources, etc. Therefore, building a new high-tech based database and electronic health file requires value mining and value-adding capabilities as the focus of attention.
