Abstract:
Objective:To quantitatively analyze infection prevention and control policy texts related to medical alliance, aiming to provide reference for further policy improvement.Methods:with the " medical alliance" and " infection prevention and control" as keywords, relevant policy documents issued from January 2015 to March 2023 were searched on the Chinese government website, the official website of the National Health Commission, and the Peking University law database. Content analysis method was used to quantitatively analyze policy texts from two dimensions: policy tools (supply oriented, environmental oriented, demand oriented) and systems theory (management, service, human resources, and financing systems as internal subsystems, while political, economic, social, and technological systems as external subsystems).Results:A total of 91 infection prevention and control policy documents related to medical alliance were included, and 199 codes were obtained. There were 114, 78, and 7 codes for environmental oriented, supply oriented, and demand oriented policy tools, respectively; among the demand oriented tools, there were only 1 code for government purchases, 1 code for price subsidies, and 5 codes for demonstration project sub tools, respectively. The internal subsystem had a total of 119 codes, with only 2 codes related to the fundraising system; and the external subsystem had a total of 80 codes, with the least 10 codes related to the technical system.Conclusions:The structure of infection prevention and control policy tools in China′s medical alliance needed to be optimized, and the application of demand oriented policy tools was insufficient. It is necessary to strengthen the use of pull tools such as government purchases, price subsidies, and demonstration projects. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the construction of internal and external systems, especially in terms of fundraising and technology systems, to enhance the overall effectiveness of the medical alliance′s infection prevention and control system.
