Objective To systematically review the impact of Beijing's comprehensive reform of medical consumption linkage on medical expenses, hospital services, and hospital income. Methods Databases including CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched to collect empirical research on evaluating the impact of Beijing's comprehensive reform of medical consumption linkage on patient medical expenses and hospital operation (service volume and income structure) from June 15th, 2019 to August 15th, 2021. A descriptive analysis was performed after two reviewers independently screened the literature and extracted data. Results A total of 23 studies were included, and most of them found a relatively small change in the average outpatient and emergency medical expenses after the reform. However, the average inpatient expenses in some hospitals showed an increasing trend; the service volume of most hospitals increased slightly, and the income structure was optimized (e.g., surgery and other medical technology services revenue and its proportion increased). Conclusion The comprehensive reform of the medical consumption linkage in Beijing is the practice of deepening the reform of the medical service price mechanism. Based on the summary of the reform effect, it is recommended to further improve the price mechanism, improve service quality, and promote hierarchical diagnosis and treatment.
Objectives To compare the differences of the medical charity donations between at home and abroad in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, so as to provide the evidence for the management and development of medical charity in West China Hospital and China. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate and analyze the current situation and problems of the medical charity donations at home and abroad in West China Hospital from January 2005 to December 2006. Results The total amount of the charity funds at home and abroad was 2.043 mill ion and 14.6 mill ion, respectively. The main target diseases of domestic donation were tumor, hematologic disease, dangerous and severe diseases and congenital heart disease, which accounted for 43.3%, 35.9%, 15.8% and 1.0%, respectivley. While the main targeted interventions and diseases of overseas donation were hearing rehabilitation, prosthetic replacement, cataract and congenital heart disease, which took up 52.1%, 27.4%, 13.7% and 6.8%, respectively. Conclusions There are differences in the amount of charity funds, target diseases, behavioral motivations, organizations, objectives and criteria of the charity donation between the donations at home and abroad. It would probably cause the problems in recruitment, distribution and monitoring of the charity funds. It is suggested that the hospital management committee of charity funds and the related law to regulate the charity behaviors should be developed.
The outpatient multi-disciplinary team (MDT) model is an important measure to improve the quality of medical services and enhance patients’ medical experience.

Objective To analyze the policy and guideline, the institutional management and the operation mechanism of ICU medical risk management in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada and Taiwan, so as to provide evidence and recommendations for health care risk management policy in China. Methods Such databases as PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library were searched to include the literatures such as the guideline documents and the research reports on ICU medical risk management in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada and Taiwan; the institutional management and the operation mechanism of the risk management in the above four countries and one area were comprehensively analyzed, and especially the UK model was highly emphasized. Results A total of 31 literatures were included, including 1 guideline, 5 reviews, 2 investigative reports and 23 research documents. The United Kingdom guided the ICU risk management in forms of the standard and the guideline, formulated a clear tool of event classification and corresponding response mechanism. The United States learned from Australia’s experience and established the ICU safety reporting system; both of them regarded ICU as one part of the medical risk management and set up a special management column. Conclusion The ICU risk management with the independent report system in the United Kingdom is brought into the scope of national patient safety management, and is regarded as the relative complete system at present. In Australia and the USA, the national institutions are in charge of setting up the research projects of ICU risk management; the industry associations and the non-governmental organizations lead the risk research; and the experimental units popularize gradually after self-application.
Objective To investigate the safety of thoracic surgery for high-altitude patients in local medical center. MethodsWe retrospectively collected 258 high-altitude patients who received thoracic surgery in West China Hospital, Sichuan University (plain medical center, 54 patients) and People's Hospital of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (high-altitude medical center, 204 patients) from January 2013 to July 2019. There were 175 males and 83 females with an average age of 43.0±16.8 years. Perioperative indicators, postoperative complications and related risk factors of patients were analyzed. ResultsThe rate of minimally invasive surgery in the high-altitude medical center was statistically lower than that in the plain medical center (11.8% vs. 55.6%, P<0.001). The surgical proportions of tuberculous empyema (41.2% vs. 1.9%, P<0.001) and pulmonary hydatid (15.2% vs. 0.0%, P=0.002) in the high-altitude medical center were statistically higher than those in the plain medical center. There was no statistical difference in perioperative mortality (0.5% vs. 1.9%, P=0.379) or complication rate within 30 days after operation (7.4% vs. 11.1%, P=0.402) between the high-altitude center and the plain medical center. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that body mass index≥25 kg/m2 (OR=8.647, P<0.001) and esophageal rupture/perforation were independent risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative complications (OR=15.720, P<0.001). ConclusionThoracic surgery in the high-altitude medical center is safe and feasible.
