The Shanxi Provincial Health Commission and the Food and Drug Administration announced the suspension of online medical first consultations, sparking speculation that the right to first online medical treatment will be withdrawn nationwide. In December last year, the Internet hospital obtained the first diagnosis of patients with new crown symptoms for the first time, but on February 10, all levels and types of medical institutions in the province stopped the first diagnosis of the Internet, and this good news was fleeting. The development of Internet medical care has always attracted much attention, especially during the epidemic, the first diagnosis of Internet medical care was temporarily opened, which contributed to the fight against the epidemic. However, now it seems that the right to the first diagnosis on the Internet has been cancelled again, which has sparked heated discussions in the industry and patients. In December 2022, due to the adjustment of epidemic prevention and control policies, Internet medical treatment ushered in the second spring, and obtained the first diagnosis permission for patients with new crown symptoms.
This has allowed many patients to obtain COVID prescription drugs by uploading antigen-positive **, which is greatly convenient for them. However, in the past, internet healthcare has been limited by strict policy red lines, and can only provide follow-up and prescription services for chronic diseases. During the epidemic, the number of online diagnosis and treatment in hospitals under the National Health Commission has increased significantly, but most of them are consultative and doctors cannot directly prescribe them. While it is relatively easy to buy prescription drugs on some e-commerce platforms, on platforms such as JD.com, prescriptions need to be uploaded in strict accordance with regulations. Therefore, after the announcement of the temporary opening of the Internet for the first diagnosis and prescription of new crowns, the entire industry was encouraged. However, the inability of doctors and patients to meet in Internet medical treatment has made the first diagnosis on the Internet controversial.
Some people believe that online diagnosis and treatment is feasible in the diagnosis of some diseases, but others are concerned that doctors may have a risk of misdiagnosis. Despite the fact that the number of people infected with the new coronavirus has dropped to 60,000, the Shanxi Provincial Health Commission has decided to stop the first diagnosis of online medicine. Although internet healthcare has been more understood and recognized during the pandemic, for some patients with chronic diseases, internet healthcare has gradually replaced offline medical treatment. However, the removal of the right to the first consultation on the Internet also means that the reimbursement policy will also be terminated on March 31. The development of Internet medicine has always attracted much attention, especially during the epidemic. What is the future of Internet Healthcare?
