Can the “family doctor†play a bigger role in the relatively high incidence of flu in winter and spring? This topic also caused a lot of discussion among the NPC deputies who participated in the two sessions of the National People's Congress. In 2016, the 7 departments of the State Council's Medical Reform Office jointly issued the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting Family Doctors' Contracting Services†(hereinafter referred to as “Opinionsâ€), clarifying that family doctors are the first responsible persons for contracting services. As of the end of November 2017, the national family doctor contract service covered 500 million people, the entire population signing rate reached 35%. Ge Minghua, deputy dean of the National People's Congress and Zhejiang Provincial Cancer Hospital, said that the workload of primary medical institutions is heavy, and tasks such as public health, emergency services, health management, and various types of consultations are complex. In many places, a general practitioner and team (basic nurse and a public health worker) signed an average of nearly 1,000 residents, and there were few days off during the year. Data Map: Dr. Sui Juan, a doctor at the Beijing Road Community Health Service Center in Urumqi, Xinjiang, visited the nearby residents' homes for a round-trip visit. Si Juan is also a family doctor. She and her team have signed up with more than 1,000 families around. “The opinion pointed out that the contracted service fee is shared by the medical insurance fund, basic public service funds and contracted residents. This is the experience of borrowing from foreign mature systems. However, the financial situation varies greatly across China. The enthusiasm of residents for signing services is not high, and the contract service Fees are difficult to guarantee, and it is difficult to form incentives.†Ge Minghua said that these factors have hindered the “mechanism†of signing services. This year's government work report pointed out that "strengthen the construction of the general practitioner team and promote graded diagnosis and treatment." It is also necessary to carry out the signing service for family doctors to meet the growing needs of the people for a better life. Ge Minghua suggested that on the one hand, it is necessary to speed up the reform of medical insurance payment and promote the guiding force of policies; on the other hand, it is necessary to speed up the establishment of a guarantee mechanism for primary medical service personnel. Today, with the complete elimination of drugs and consumables, it is advisable to adjust the prices of primary medical services as soon as possible to protect the enthusiasm of grassroots medical staff. Zheng Jianjiang, the deputy of the National People's Congress and chairman of the Oaks Group, said that the pilot family doctors contracted services will be marketized, considering the entry of social capital such as independent doctors, private clinics, and private hospitals, and the activation of family doctors with market competition mechanism; and the regular replacement of family doctor registration. By the residents themselves, they choose to sign the doctor, and they force the service provider to "sign and must agree."
