Abstract:
In February 2008 the Xiamen Municipal Government reorganized the health service in Xiamen City to create a"Xiamen Model"for community health service.The community health service centers were divided into two parts:the public health service was directly undertaken by the loal government,and the medical service was affiliated to one of the tertiary hospitals.Both were financed by govemment budget,but operated separately.A recent survey showed that the "Xiamen model" promoted the vertical integration of Xiamen medical resources.increased the service efficiency,reduced the medical and drug cost,and improved the satisfaction of local residents.Nevertheless,there were still some problems;the tertiary hospital should change its service pattern and enhance general practice in the community,the finance compensating mechanism need to be improved.
