Abstract:
A discussion of the connotation and key issues of the new normal in the healthcare sector,with an introduction to the new normal.The furthering reform is unveiling roadblocks in the healthcare system.For example,human resources available can hardly support development of the sector, and revenue growth of tertiary hospitals in the cities will decline,while county hospitals will be further challenged by debt crisis.In the meantime of steady elevation of medical capabilities in both urban and rural areas,the gap between the two will be maintained for a while.The authors predict that the sector will be faced with restructuring essential medicine system,grading diagnosis and treatment practice,rising risks for health insurance,and growing market shares of commercial health insurance and private capital, as well as fiercer competitions to challenge public hospitals.
