Abstract:
In order to effectively manage the atrial fibrillation patients, West China Hospital has established an integrated general-specialty management model within medical consortium. This model takes the atrial fibrillation-stroke integrated management outpatient clinic as the platform, combines general practice and specialty to provide standardized care for atrial fibrillation patients. The model was characterized by primary diagnosis, two-way referral, up and down linkage, and differential management for acute and chronic conditions. This article, taking West China Hospital as an example, introduces the integrated team of cardiologists and general practitioners in the tertiary hospital with general practitioners in the community, and the preliminary accomplishment in the management of atrial fibrillation within the medical consortium. It would provide a reference for the long-range management of atrial fibrillation in other provinces and cities.
