Research and Survey on the Status of Hospital Graded Care System and its Related Industries

The graded treatment system refers to the gradation of diseases according to their priority and ease of treatment, with medical institutions at different levels undertaking the treatment of different diseases and gradually realizing the medical process from general practice to specialization. Since the “new medical reform”, China has been committed to promoting “primary care”, “two-way referral”, “separation of acute and slow treatment” The “new health care reform” has been implemented in China since the beginning of the reform. However, in the process of implementation, the effectiveness of the system has always been controversial due to the inadequate construction of primary medical institutions and the weak awareness of graded treatment among residents.

The Relationship

This study examined the existing relationship between community health centres and General Practice Divisions in the State of Victoria, including the nature of joint working arrangements and the identification of barriers to greater collaboration. Improved integration of primary health care services has been advocated to improve consumer and population health outcomes and to reduce inappropriate use of acute and extended care services. General practitioners (GPs) and community health centres are two key providers of primary health care with potential for greater integration. The current study conducted telephone interviews with 20 community health centre CEOs and 18 Executive Officers of divisions, which were matched according to catchment boundaries. Results suggest, while some joint planning is occurring, especially on committees, working parties and projects, there is an overall low level of satisfaction with the relationship between community health centres and GPs and GP divisions. Major barriers to greater integration are the financial or business interests of GPs and misunderstanding and differences in perceived roles and ideology between GPs and community health centres. Improved communication, greater contact and referral and follow-up procedures are identified as a means of improving the relationship between GPs, GP divisions and community health centres. Community health centres and general practitioners (GPs) are key providers of primary care (Australian Community Health Association, 1990).
