"Just thinking of taking an X-ray in the hospital, I also have to go through the process of **, initial diagnosis and so on. A few days ago, Mr. Zhou, a citizen of Chongqing, asked when sharing his medical experience on social platforms: If the patient's request is only to do an examination, can the hospital simplify the process and let the patient go for the examination directly, instead of registering the outpatient number first and waiting for the doctor to issue an orderSome netizens "posted" their own examination experience in the message, saying that the examination procedures of some hospitals are indeed cumbersome, and the inspection efficiency should be improved and the "first inspection and then medicine" should be implemented. Some medical workers also said that patients may not be able to make accurate judgments about the examination items they want to do, and they can better check the symptoms by seeing a doctor first.
Make an appointment for days, stand in line for hours, check ...... for a few minutesIt is not new to complain about the cumbersome process of seeing a doctor in the hospital. For some patients, sometimes all they need is an examination result in a large hospital, and then sink to the primary hospital for injections and medicines, unfortunately, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, the "first examination and then medicine" model has not been fully rolled out, patients want to have an examination result, still need to make an appointment **, queue up to start a complete set of procedures, and then get the examination results, which has long caused public dissatisfaction.
In fact, some hospitals have already tried to "check before you get treated".
For example, as early as June 2016, Beijing opened a test clinic, but it was suspended in less than a month, because "the demand is too great, some unnecessary examination items also prolong the time for patients to do the examination items prescribed by the doctor, and the convenience function has not achieved the best effect".
Later, some hospitals in Dalian, Qinghai and other places opened up, but they did not achieve the expected results, which made the hospital feel pressure.
One of the main reasons why hospitals are reluctant to promote "test before treatment" is that due to medical technology considerations, most of the inspectors are only at the level of technicians, and they cannot determine whether the patient's test items are necessarySome hospitals only accept the results of the examination in their own hospital or at the same level;Some hospitals are also worried about follow-up disputes and so on.
There are both cases of failure and real problems, and it seems understandable that there is a reluctance to introduce a "test first, then heal" model. On the one hand, it can save unnecessary appointments and queues, and on the other hand, it can have more independent choices, whether to go to a large hospital to continue to see a doctor or go to a primary hospital to see a doctor, depending on the results of the examination.
What's more, the "first examination and then treatment" model also has successful experiences worth learning from. Of course, it is not realistic to promote it across the board, but it is advisable to gradually let go of the hooves and continue to move forward in exploration. First, it can be open to patients with regular check-ups and chronic diseases, and it can be open to routine content such as vision examination, gastroscopy, X-ray, B-ultrasound, blood and urine tests. Second, at the hospital level, it is also necessary for the regulatory authorities to take active actions to break down multiple barriers such as mutual recognition of inspection and risk control. Third, the construction of informatization should continue to be strengthened, so that data can run more errands and patients can run less, which should also be reflected in reality in a timely manner.
I believe that with the efforts and promotion of all parties, this model is convenient for patients to be fully released, and better alleviate the dilemma of "difficult to see a doctor".
