Purpose:The government has actively promoted classified levels of care and two-way referrals between domestic medical centers & medical care institutions intending to have patients with major diseases stay in major hospitals for treatment and patients with minor illnesses be transferred to primary health institutions. This article shares the experience of a medical center using information communication technology to promote classified levels of care. Methods:Based on the four major dilemmas faced by patients, we formulated innovative strategies for holistic integrated care first. The strategies involved building a smart medical information platform which was shared by our hospital and community clinics to provide information on family-based, patient-centric and continuous integrated medical care. Results:By cross-organization vertical / horizontal integration and a two-way referral information platform, we provided physicians in our hospital and community clinics real-time information about referred patients'care to increase doctors'and patients' willingness for referral, and achieved the goal of 2% deduction of the number of outpatients required by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in July 2018. Conclusion:This project used a smart integrated information system, simplified the referral process, significantly increased the willingness of doctors and patients for referrals, and successfully achieved the goal of reducing the amount of outpatients. Supported by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, We will continue to improve the graded medical care model in the future. |
