Objective To investigate current situation of medical service and management in Gaozha Central Township Health Center (GzC), so as to provide baseline data for township health centers in both key techniques research and product development of drugs allocation and delivery. Methods A questionnaire combined with a special interview was carried out, which included the general information, human resources, medical service and management, and the practice of essential medicine list. Results a) The hardware condition of GzC was not good enough, and the economic status of the service recipients was lower than the average level of both Wuzhong City and China mainland; b) The constituent ratio of general practitioner (GP) and nurse, and GP and laboratorian were all lower than those of national level, while, the constituent ratio of GP and technician was a little bit higher. GzC was in short of medical technical personnel and, especially, the professional pharmacists. The logistics technical workers were as the same proportion as the nurses. The medical technical personnel without professional education background accounted for 3.4%, and about 38% of the staff members had no college degree, about 86.2% had at most primary profession titles. There was no personnel turnover of GzC in recently years; c) The bed utilization ratio was lower than national level (46.4% vs. 60.7%), while the average duration of stay and the in-patient and out-patient service workload of GP were longer or heavier than national level (8 vs. 4.8, 9 vs. 8.3, 4 vs. 1.3); d) The out-patient service in 2010 decreased 26.9% compared to 2009; and the in-patient service in 2010 decreased 42.4%; e) The average medical expense per outpatient and per inpatient increased 127.3% and 56.2%, respectively in 2010 compared to 2009; and f) Essential medicine list was put into practice in April 1st of 2010 and there was only 195 species available in GzC, which has not met the requirements of the national essential medicine list. Conclusion In order to meet the standards of general rural township health center in western China, GzC needs to cope with challenges of insufficient hardware conditions, short of staff, unreasonable personnel structure, low educational background and professional title of the staff, none human resources flow and low technical level of medical service. GzC dose well in drug expenses control, and the hospitalization costs are lower than those of the national level. However, it increases rapidly in 2010. The management of GzC may be influenced by zero-profit sale of the essential drugs, and appropriate subsidy and policy support are necessary to maintain its service quality. And it is required to complement the medicine based on the evidences, to carry out staff training and usage guidance of essential medicine, and to finally guarantee the safe and reasonable use of medicines.

Consensus reporting items for studies in primary care (CRISP) is a newly developed measurement tool developed abroad to standardize primary health care research, so as to improve the quality of reporting and enhance the applicability, comprehensiveness, transparency and operability of reporting. The report contains 24 Entries that follow the Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion (IMRaD) format, and is primarily concerned with describing the research team, the patients, the study subjects, the health status, the clinical experience, the health care team, the interventions, the study interventions, and the findings in the PHC study / implementation of results, etc. This article introduces and interprets the reporting guidelines to help researchers better understand and apply this statement to improve the quality of reporting in primary health care research
ObjectivesTo analyze the economic burden caused by delay in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes.MethodsThe employee/non-employee health insurance and medical examination data from Japan Medical Data Center (JMDC) and Milliman Inc. were used to analyze the health economic burden of the situation in case the diabetic population receives timelydiagnosis and treatment with real world data.ResultsThe overall population delaying the diabetes diagnosis and treatment in Japan was estimated to be 916 000, and the average time of delay was 39.6 months. The increase in time of delay was related with the increase in monthly medical costs after diabetes diagnosis. If the whole delayed population could receive timely diagnosis and treatment, it can totally save about 38.24 billion yuan (1.5% of the annual Japanese national medical expenditure.ConclusionsThe current study suggests a huge potential health economic burden that can be improved by promoting the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, which provides reference for the economic evaluation of similar health policies and also the application of real world data in China in future.
Objective To explore the research progress of the multimodal clinical support system (CSS). Methods With recognized development and operation of the multi-model CSS, and compared to the traditional CSS, to explore the research progress of the multimodal CSS. Results Based on the realization of the concept, purpose and characteristics of the multimodal CSS, it has been known that the international research progress of the multimodal CSS. Conclusion The developing and evolving of the CSS model have offered a new assist to the multi-disciplinary treatment model, and have enhanced the improving system associated with the practice of evidence-based medicine. However, the application of clinical support system program (CSSP) in our country still needs more research.
