"I felt the convenience of medical treatment! Ms. Liu, a 47-year-old resident of Hefei, Anhui Province, said that she has invasive breast cancer and that it is important to be able to perform a local examination called "fluorescence in situ hybridization". On December 1, 2023, Anhui Province revised and improved the pricing instructions for the "fluorescence in situ hybridization" test, allowing local hospitals to carry out this test, so that Ms. Liu and many cancer patients who need to have this test avoid the inconvenience of seeking medical treatment in other provinces.
What Ms. Liu may not know is that the change she feels is related to a proposal for the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Recently, the list of good proposals for the 2023 National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) was released, and the "Proposal on Further Deepening the Adjustment of Medical Services" submitted by Liu Lianxin, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Secretary of the Party Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital), was selected as one of the 58 good proposals.
When he met Liu Lianxin, he had just returned to the office after checking the room, and immediately devoted himself to the handling of hospital affairs, and after communicating with reporters, he rushed to prepare for the next liver transplant ......
In Liu Lianxin's view, the formation of a good proposal is inseparable from the practice of long-term front-line work. The proposal should not only reflect the voice of frontline healthcare workers, but also meet the needs of the majority of patients.
Medical service is the most direct and realistic interest issue that the masses are most concerned about, and it is also related to the high-quality development of public medical institutions and medical services. Liu Lianxin said that he found in his work that the level of medical and health technology is constantly improving, but the connotation and pricing method of some medical service projects are not clear, and the approval and medical insurance access process of new medical service projects is long.
In the past, complex hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery required an open abdomen, but now it can be done laparoscopically with just a few small holes. The development of new technologies and new projects is of great significance to shorten the length of hospital stay, accelerate the development of patients**, and improve the overall medical efficiency, but our pricing standards often cannot keep up with the update of clinical medical technology and the actual needs of patient treatment. Liu Lianxin believes that it should be started as soon as possible from the approval of new medical service projects and medical insurance access, the clarification of the connotation of medical service projects, and the introduction of scientific pricing decision-making mechanism, etc., to optimize the reform and adjustment mechanism of medical services.
Give full play to the role of leverage and dynamically adjust medical services; Increase the supply of medical services, promote the optimization of the project structure, and promote the rational and orderly convergence ...... in the Yangtze River Delta regionAfter many visits to a number of medical institutions and clinical departments, and discussions with medical staff, at the 2023 National Two Sessions, Liu Lianxin formed a proposal for voices from the front line.
The proposal was quickly responded to by the National Health Insurance Administration and the National Health Commission, and the relevant departments of Anhui Province took active action. In 2023, the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital) participated in the revision of 44 medical service ** projects in Anhui Province, and some projects that were not originally available were carried out, the fees that were not included in the catalogue were officially included in the catalog, and the unreasonable charges were adjusted.
I think this is the ultimate goal of our medical and health system reform and medical insurance system reform to let the people enjoy convenient and inclusive medical services, and to make medical services more reliable and warm. Liu Lianxin said.

This year's National People's Congress and the National People's Congress are about to be held, and Liu Lianxin is preparing for a new proposal. On the desk, several research reports were formed after visiting and investigating the capacity building of primary medical and health services in Linquan, Wuyang, Shucheng and other places in Anhui Province, and the work notes recorded in detail the opinions collected during exchanges with patients and front-line medical staff.
The construction of a national regional medical center is an important measure for the state to promote the expansion of high-quality medical resources and the balanced layout of regions. At present, Anhui Province has promoted the approval of 9 national regional medical center projects, and supported the construction and operation of national regional medical centers from the aspects of strengthening the establishment guarantee, strengthening talent support, optimizing the first-class policy, and implementing the medical insurance policy.
In August 2023, the Anhui Hospital of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital was the first to fully open the National Trauma Regional Medical Center construction project, which was jointly established by Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital). As of February 4 this year, the center has provided 186197 outpatient and emergency services, discharged 2,502 people, and operated 1,540 times.
In the process of construction and operation of the center, Liu Lianxin found that there are still some bottlenecks, such as policy supporting measures need to be improved, and long-term development mechanisms need to be improved. In this regard, he focused on improving the relevant plans for the construction of national regional medical centers to carry out relevant research, and planned to bring the proposal to the two sessions.
It is expected that the proposal can further effectively promote the improvement of medical standards, the flow of medical treatment, and the expansion of the talent team, so that the reform can be steadily promoted. Liu Lianxin said. (Reporter Liu Meizi, Dai Wei).
