The "dividends" of traditional Chinese medicine and health care reform have brought tangible benefits to the people

　　“Transform the policy mechanism for the development of traditional Chinese medicine into concrete measures that can be seen, touched, and enjoyed by the people, continue to meet the people's actual needs for traditional Chinese medicine services, and contribute new strength to the leap-forward development of the city's traditional Chinese medicine industry. ”Jia Tanghong, Secretary and Director of the Party Committee of Jinan Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission and Director of the Municipal Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that the "Improvement of Traditional Chinese Medicine Development Policies and Mechanisms" proposed by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee has once again placed Traditional Chinese Medicine at the strategic level of the overall reform and development of the Party and the country. Our city has always attached great importance to the work of traditional Chinese medicine. Especially in recent years, with the establishment of national advanced units of grassroots traditional Chinese medicine as a carrier, we have continuously improved and implemented grassroots traditional Chinese medicine policies and measures, and continued to improve grassroots traditional Chinese medicine service capabilities. The basic foundation of traditional Chinese medicine has been solidified, and the public's satisfaction and awareness of traditional Chinese medicine services have continued to increase. Our city has gradually established a grassroots TCM service network with Jinan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital as the leader, non-TCM medical institutions such as the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital and comprehensive hospitals at the municipal, district, and sub-district levels as hubs, and grassroots TCM units in counties and cities as the base, integrating medical treatment, rehabilitation, prevention, and health care, covering both urban and rural areas, with reasonable layout, complete functions, distinctive features, and adapting to the needs of the masses.

　　“Currently, 8 out of 10 counties and cities in Jinan City have won the honorary title of National Advanced Unit for Grassroots Traditional Chinese Medicine Work. This year, only two cities in Shandong Province, Jinan and Weifang, have met the application requirements of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The National Advanced Unit for Grassroots Traditional Chinese Medicine Work is the highest honor given by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine to local and municipal governments in traditional Chinese medicine. Jinan City should, on the basis of further consolidating the achievements, further leverage the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine to better serve the people's health. ”A few days ago, Lu Jianwei, deputy director of the Medical Affairs Department of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, led a group of experts to review and accept the establishment of a "National Advanced Unit for Grassroots Traditional Chinese Medicine Work" in our city, and highly affirmed our city's achievements in establishing a national grassroots Traditional Chinese Medicine work. So, what are the highlights of the work that have been recognized by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine?

　　Attaching great importance to improving the organization and improving the development environment

　　The Jinan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attach great importance to the work of traditional Chinese medicine and integrate it into the overall economic and social development of the city. The government takes the lead and each department performs its own duties to jointly support the development of traditional Chinese medicine. Our city has formed a relatively complete traditional Chinese medicine management organization, which has laid a good foundation for the development of traditional Chinese medicine in the city. The municipal government established a creation work leading group with the deputy mayor in charge as the team leader and the leaders in charge of relevant departments as members to strengthen the government's leading responsibilities, clarify departmental responsibilities, and establish a multi-department coordination mechanism. In particular, the Municipal Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been established, and a Traditional Chinese Medicine Management Office has been staffed with full-time cadres. Each county (city) district has also established a leading group with the leader in charge of the county (city) district government as the team leader and the leader in charge of the relevant departments as members, forming a working mechanism for departmental collaboration and linkage between the top and bottom.

　　The situation of departmental support and cooperation with the development of traditional Chinese medicine has basically taken shape. The human resources and social security department has included qualified traditional Chinese medicine medical institutions into the scope of designated medical institutions for urban employees, basic medical insurance for residents, work-related injury insurance, and maternity insurance; qualified traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment technology, Chinese medicine pieces, and therapeutic hospital Chinese medicine preparations Included in the scope of insurance payment; the Food and Drug Administration approved two batches of in-hospital preparations of traditional Chinese medicine for use within the specified scope; the development and reform, finance and other departments have included traditional Chinese medicine work in the national economic and social development plan, focusing on solving the problem of weak infrastructure, and providing strong support in terms of funding arrangements. What needs to be pointed out in particular is that our city has implemented a separate fiscal budget for traditional Chinese medicine expenses, which have accounted for more than 10% of the city government's health investment in the past three years.

　　Scientific positioning, continuous improvement, and gradually improving the service network

　　Various TCM institutions such as county-level TCM hospitals, grassroots medical and health institutions, TCM departments of general hospitals, and private TCM medical institutions are scientifically positioned and have complementary advantages, and the grassroots TCM healthcare network is gradually improving. First, the role of county-level traditional Chinese medicine hospitals has been fully exerted, and the service capabilities of traditional Chinese medicine have been significantly improved. All 6 county-level traditional Chinese medicine hospitals have reached the second-class A standard and above, and one of the county-level traditional Chinese medicine hospitals has reached the third-class standard. County-level traditional Chinese medicine hospitals have 7 provincial-level key specialties and 21 municipal-level ones, and the specialty construction has achieved remarkable results. The traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in the four counties (cities) of Zhangqiu City, Pingyin County, Jiyang County and Shanghe County have launched a comprehensive pilot program for the comprehensive reform of county-level public hospitals. Second, the hub of primary medical and health service institutions is solid and the network base is solid. In 2013, the city launched a project to improve grassroots TCM service capabilities. At present, all community health service centers and township health centers have established traditional Chinese medicine departments and are equipped with traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment equipment. More than 95% of community health service centers and township health centers have established comprehensive traditional Chinese medicine service areas. In 2013, the construction of "National Medical Hall" was launched at the same time. Currently, 70% of the city's primary medical and health institutions have established Chinese Medical Hall. Third, the TCM departments of general hospitals and private TCM medical institutions constitute useful complements. Encourage and guide social capital to establish private TCM medical institutions. Improve the access mechanism for non-public TCM medical institutions. Further standardize the establishment of traditional Chinese medicine departments in general (specialty) hospitals, continue to strengthen the construction of traditional Chinese medicine departments and traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies in accordance with the construction standards of traditional Chinese medicine departments in general hospitals, and set up a certain proportion of traditional Chinese medicine beds. Qualified TCM practitioners, especially well-known veteran TCM practitioners, are encouraged to open TCM clinics or individual medical practices. Qualified drug retail enterprises can hold TCM sit-in clinics with the approval of the municipal TCM administrative department. By the end of 2014, our city had 13 private TCM hospitals, 294 TCM outpatient departments and clinics, and 74 TCM clinics.

　　Leading the way, Xinhuo inheritance service capabilities have been steadily improved

　　During the review and acceptance process, the expert group of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine reviewed the city’s founding materials and inspected the work of the city’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital on the spot. It is no accident that the Municipal Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has made use of its advantages in talent, technology, management and other advantages to support district and county Traditional Chinese Medicine hospitals and township health centers. It is no accident that it has been recognized by the expert group of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

　　In the leap-forward development process of the city's traditional Chinese medicine industry, under the correct leadership of the Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission Party Committee, the leading role of the municipal traditional Chinese medicine hospital has become increasingly obvious. First, the hospital has strengthened the implementation of assistance and achieved full coverage of the assistance to secondary traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in counties and districts; second, it has highlighted the key points, which has significantly improved the service capabilities of Pingyin County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Shanghe County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Yanggu County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital; third, it focuses on the assistance of management, talents, and technology, giving full play to its own characteristics and advantages, and carries out various forms of assistance according to the specific needs of the units being assisted, and continuously extends the connotation of counterpart assistance. Especially in terms of holding "Western middle school classes" and "appropriate technology promotion and application training", it is highly practical and operable, and is very popular among grassroots medical institutions.

　　Jinan City attaches great importance to the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine talents, and has taken multiple measures to cultivate traditional Chinese medicine talents. It has carried out projects such as mentoring and mentoring of famous old Chinese medicine experts across the country, and the "Inheritance of the Fire 231" famous Chinese medicine doctors, etc., and strengthened teacher-to-teacher education. It has held national-level training courses for traditional Chinese medicine continuing education projects, training courses for general practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, and "learning from the West" training courses, etc., focusing on cultivating subject leaders, clinical backbones and grass-roots practical talents. “We have implemented the community health foundation project and promoted the action of "medical experts entering the community", established support relationships with large and medium-sized medical and health institutions, organized community health technicians to further their studies and other measures, and cultivated a group of Chinese medicine talents with high technical levels, retained at the grassroots level, and trusted by the masses, and the results have been relatively obvious.
