How to reduce the burden of ophthalmic examination fees in Guangzhou?
In the face of the high cost of diagnosis and treatment, how to reduce the burden of Guangzhou citizens on eye examination has become an important issue. The following will elaborate on four aspects: improving the coverage of medical insurance, carrying out screening activities, promoting resident health cards, and strengthening the management of hospital medical resources.
Improve medical insurance coverage
First, Guangzhou can consider increasing the coverage of medical insurance reimbursement for visual eye examination and including it into the payment scope of basic medical insurance to reduce the cost burden of patients. The reimbursement rate of medical insurance can also be increased accordingly, especially for specific groups, such as low-income families and retirees.
Second, we should establish a special medical assistance system for eye donation to help patients with financial difficulties. By purchasing services from the government, part of the costs will be transferred to the government to reduce the burden of patients.
Third, strengthen the management of medical insurance, improve the efficiency of the use of medical insurance funds, optimize the allocation of medical resources, and avoid waste and abuse. At the same time, we will strengthen the fight against medical insurance fraud, ensure the rational use of medical insurance funds, and provide more benefits for patients.
Conduct screening activities
First, Guangzhou can carry out eye screening activities to detect and prevent eye diseases early and reduce the cost of later treatment. Screening activities can use places such as community health centers, schools, enterprises and institutions to provide free or low-cost eye examination services to guide citizens to pay attention to eye health in a timely manner.
Second, we should strengthen the screening of high-risk groups, such as adolescents, the elderly, and patients with occupational diseases. By organizing regular inspection activities, potential eye health problems can be found early and treated in time to reduce treatment costs and burden caused by diseases.
Third, we should strengthen publicity and education to enhance the public's awareness and attention to the ophthalmic examination. Popularize relevant knowledge to the public by means of publicity ads, health education lectures, etc., and urge them to actively participate in the visual examination.
Promote resident health card
First, Guangzhou can implement the resident health card system, integrate personal health information and medical records, and facilitate doctors to view patients' medical records and treatment information. This can avoid repeated examinations and over treatment, reduce unnecessary expenses, and thus reduce the cost burden of patients.
Second, hospitals can better manage medical resources with the help of resident health cards. For example, by taking measures such as appointment and registration, visiting patients in different periods, and optimizing the medical process, we can improve the service efficiency of the hospital, shorten the waiting time of patients, and reduce the consumption of medical expenses.
Third, the resident health card can be connected with the medical insurance system to realize the direct settlement of medical insurance funds and reduce the intermediate link of patient payment. This can speed up reimbursement and reduce the burden on patients.
Strengthening the management of hospital medical resources
First, Guangzhou can implement the performance appraisal system of hospital medical resources. Through the evaluation of the diagnosis and treatment process and effect of the hospital, improve the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility of doctors, avoid unnecessary inspection and treatment, and reduce the waste of costs.
Second, strengthen the medical resource sharing and collaboration mechanism. Different hospitals can share experience and resources, avoid repeated construction and procurement of equipment, improve resource utilization and reduce inspection costs.
Third, Guangzhou can increase the update and maintenance of medical equipment to improve the efficiency and service life of equipment. At the same time, strengthen the management and supervision of medical equipment, ensure the normal operation and accurate diagnosis of equipment, and reduce the cost loss caused by equipment problems.
To sum up, measures such as improving the coverage of medical insurance, carrying out screening activities, promoting residents' health cards and strengthening the management of hospital medical resources can effectively reduce the burden of Guangzhou citizens on visual eye examination, so that more citizens can benefit from visual eye examination services.
