Abstract:
Setting up a system wherein general practitioners play the role of the “goalkeeper” in the delivery of community health services may guide the rational flow of health resources from the upper to the basic levels, match the allocation of health resources to the demands, improve the effectiveness of health resources allocation, reinforce preventive strategies, and construct a highly efficient and economic health services system. By introducing the role of general practitioners in Britain, Australia and the United States, the paper aims to draw some enlightenment which will contribute to the establishment of such a system in China in the following aspects: ①perfecting the system of national supporting policies; ② making a good analysis of the parties interested; ③improving the makeup of the medical insurance system; ④accepting useful suggestions from relevant learned societies; ⑤ training general practitioners;⑥ establishing standards for the cooperation between general practitioners and specialists.
