Objective: In order to evaluate the effect of catastrophic disease medical assistance policy in Qingdao and provide suggestions for Qingdao policy reform.Methods: This paper selects NSCLC and liver cancer as the typical deceases to analyze the effects of the policy on patients and medical insurance institutions and finally evaluate the effect of the policy.Results: results shows that after the implementation of special medicines and special medical equipment assistance, the rate of co-paying patients decreased 40.57%, and the pressure on medical insurance institutions' expenditure was significantly reduced;while after the implementation of large cost assistance, but rate of co-paying patients only decreased 7.13%, and the pressure on medical insurance institutions' expenditure was not effectively alleviated.Conclusions: Therefore, the policy not only protects patients with catastrophic disease by greatly reducing their medical burdens, but it also achieves the fine management of medical insurance fund and increases the efficiency of the fund.

Objective To explore the influences of continued nursing care on the recovery of intra-articular fractures of joint function of limbs and the quality of life after operation. Methods A total of 493 intra-articular fracture of limbs postoperative patients,who were discharged from our department from January 2015 to December 2016,were randomly divided into observation group and reference group.After operation,the reference group used self-management mode to practice joint functional exercise,while the observation group uses continued nursing mode to guide physical therapy to recover joint functions.After they discharged 12 weeks,we compared these two groups of patients with satisfaction of nursing care,joint function recovery and quality of life. Results After 12 weeks of operation, in observation group, the patients' joint function recovery rate was close to 79.27%(195/246), which was significantly higher than the rates 55.47%(137/247)in reference group,the difference was statistically significant(χ2=32.947,P<0.01). Respectively, the physiological function score,vigor score, mental health score, physiology role score, body pain score, health condition score, social function score and health score of the observation group in the quality of life assessment were (72.66 ± 4.41), (89.27 ± 4.10), (93.01 ± 3.05), (88.03 ± 3.19), (91.68±3.99),(76.78±4.86),(79.11±4.68),(85.57±7.07).The scores of control groups were(65.71±3.41),(64.02±4.51),(61.43±4.29),(66.49±4.52),(64.24±4.30),(62.02±6.24),(62.94±4.50),(65.02±7.72).The comparative difference of the two groups has statistical significance (t=12.48- 60.15, P<0.05). Meanwhile,in the satisfaction rate of nursing care,the great satisfaction rate of observation group(70.73%, 174/246) was much higher than reference group (37.65%, 93/247), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=59.789, P<0.01). Conclusion Offered outside continued nursing care to the intra-articular fracture of limbs postoperative patients can effectively improve the joint function of patients,their qualities of life and can considerably increase satisfaction of nursing care. Thus,it should to be clinically promoted.
