Abstract:
OBJECTIVE：To know about the use of policy tools for trad itional Chinese medicine （TCM）inheritance and innovation policies in China ，and to provide reference for subsequent improvement of TCM inheritance and innovation policies. METHODS：The content analysis method was used to classify and code the policy texts related to TCM inheritance and innovation policies at the national level before Sept. 2020. Statistical analysis was carried out from the two dimensions of basic policy tools and the TCM inheritance and innovation system ，and related suggestions were put forward. RESULTS ：Nine related policy texts were collected ，which were published during 2007-2020. In terms of basic policy tool dimensions ，environmental policy tools were the most （46.47％），followed by supplying policy tools （41.36％）and demanding policy tools （12.17％）. The supply-based policy tools included scientific research and informatization support （25.67％），talent training （7.06％），infrastructure construction （5.6％），public health services （2.07％），and capital investment （used the least ，0.97％）. The demand-based policy tools included international exchanges and cooperation （5.11％），organization coordination （3.77％），industry shaping （1.82％），pilot/ demonstration projects （1.46％），the latter two contents were used less. Among the environmental policy tools ，laws and regulations were used the most （24.94％），followed by target planning （9.73％），intellectual property （6.57％），financial support （2.43％），policy publicity （1.95％），quality evaluation （0.61％），and medical insurance support （0.24％）. The dimensions of TCM inheritance and innovation system included scientific research and innovation （34.67％），management mechanism （19.59％）， Chinese medicine industry （18.37％），service system （18.00％）and team building （9.37％），among which team building was related less. CONCLUSIONS ：In order to better implement TCM inheritance and innovation policies in China ，it is recommended to optimize supply-based policy tools and highlight policy promotion functions ；increase demand-based policy tools to form an effective“pull force ”；adjust the structure of environmentalpolicy tools to improve the external environment for inheritance and innovation ；promote the full use of policy tools in the inheritance and innovation system to achieve planning goals.
