Abstract:
Objective:To assess capacity of cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment service in primary health care (PHC) in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.Methods:From September to December 2016, document acquisition and abstraction and in-person interviews were conducted on 327 PHC institutions and their medical staff from 43 districts/counties in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to comprehensively assess their infrastructure and services, human resources, health information system and drug availability related to cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment.Results:⑴ Infrastructure and services: 30.0% Community Health Center (CHC) and 100.0% Township healthcare center (THC) provided inpatient services, 20.5%, 98.1% village clinic (VC) could not provide blood glucose tests and lipid tests, respectively; ⑵ Human resources: in CHC, THC or CHS, 19.6% doctors' educational levels were below the requirement for a licensed assistant doctor, and in VC, 32.4% doctors' educational levels were below the requirement for village doctors. 56.3%CHC、THC and CHS, 99.5% VC could not provide government-funded " four insurances and one allowance" for non-registered staff, and 30.0% village doctors had exceeded 60 years old; ⑶ Health information system: 40.0% CHC, 41.7% THC, and 0 VC had electronic medical record (EMR), respectively; ⑷ Drug availability: 71.9% PHC institutions stored all four types of antihypertensive drugs [angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockors (ACEIs/ARBs), β-blockers, calcium channel blockers (CCBS), diuretics], and 2.1% did not have any.Conclusions:The capacity of cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment services in PHC institutions in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region are fair in general, but efforts should still be made to enhance the infrastructure construction, improve the remuneration packages of PHC doctors, promote the comprehensive ability of PHC doctors, optimize the layout of urban and rural health resources, strengthen the information construction, and improve the joint development of medical system in the three cities and provinces.
