The paper argues that if the policy of separating pharmacy from medicine is to be implemented in China in the current situation, medical institutions will appear to be the direct interest losers while the broad masses of drug consumers (or payers) will be the eventual interest losers. In other words, consumers (or payers) will have to cover the costs entailed in separating pharmacy from medicine whereas the channels for drug circulation(wholesalers and retailers) and the drug producers will benefit from the policy. The government will be faced not only with the pressure of either raising the level of charges for medical services or increasing compensations for medical institutions, but also the dilemma of whether to stunt the development of medical institutions or to allow the abnormal growth of medical expenses. Besides, it will be confronted with moral accusations of supporting the channels for drug circulation at the expense of the interests of medical institutions and consumers and increased government input. These problems have already emerged in an embryonic form in the cunent implementation of the policy of "progressive separation of pharmacy and medicine" by the drug administration agencies. The ideal state for adopting the policy of separating pharmacy from medicine would be the overall reduction of drug prices by 26% to 30%, the turnover of the drug gross profit valued at 46.9 to 54.7 billion yuan into the scope for readjusting the level of charges for medical services, and a yearly readjustment in future of the level of charges for medical services according to the price index.

Proceeding from the problems confronting hospitals, the paper first offers an analysis of the relationship between the coordination of the "three reforms" and the reform of the management system of public hospitals and then provides some views on the steps for the coordination of the "three reforms" including the reform of the management system of public hospitals, the breakthrough point of the issue in particular. The author holds that the breakthrough point of the coordination lies in reforming the mode of payment and the compensation mechanism of hospitals. The current method of payment by service items ought to be changed into the mode of total quantity control and payment by the amount of service so as to form a policy and operational environment wherein hospitals will seek substantial development on their own initiative. Under such an environment, hospitals can achieve maximum benefits only by minimizing the costs and the primary goals of the coordination of the "three reforms" can thus expect to be attained. On the basis of this, relevant models for the reform of the management system of public hospitals can be promoted. system; Public; Reform

In light of the scientific procedure of policy making and based on the logical deduction of direct and indirect factors related to the chaotic drug market, the authors found the root of the chaos, viz. The mechanism of reimbursement ofr medical institutions that formed a vicious circle. Inview of the root, a policy model was developed and verified, viz. The optimal utilization of medical resources. The prerequisite condition to the implementation and success of the policy is the exertion of concerted efforts by various departments concerned underthe centralized leadership of the government. And it has been proven by experience that to tackle the chaos of the drug market it is necessary to start with medical institutions and the logical order of the steps to be taken to carry out the policy is as follows: control of the total drug expenses, gradual control of the gross profit from drugs, extrication of medical institutions from their dependence on drugs, improvement of the management of the frug market,perfection of the "rules of game" of the market, and development of key techniques for each procedure. Evaluation of the results of the implementation of the policy indicates that the policy is scientific, rational and easy to operate and the steps are feasible.

The paper describes the short and medium term (within 2 to 5 years) priorities that any region in China right now faces in working out and implementing its regional health planning, viz. the coordinated development strategy of medicine and health, medical security and social economy. The authors hold that to achieve the coordinated growth of the health cause and society, it is imperative to overcome in the short run logically related obstacles in four aspects: ineffective solution to the apparent problems followed with interest by both the social and health sectors and lack of effective operating conditions accompanying medical insurance reform, both resulting in the lack of a driving force in the reform within hospitals; difficulty in achieving breakthroughts in the development of the health cause; and the probability of a regional health planning becoming a mere formality because of the above factors. In addition, the fact that reform of medical and health institutions in their setup and ownership of property rights lags behind macroscopic social economic reform obscures the explanation of and solution to the above problems. Based on the research results, the paper sets forth the priorities in short and medium term planning.

Objective To evaluate the appropriateness of hospitalization days at a tertiary hospital in 2014 by means of the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol ( AEP ) , and to analyze the causes of inappropriate stays. Methods Medical records of inpatients admitted at a tertiary hospital in 2014 were randomly selected. AEP( US version) was used to evaluate the appropriateness of every hospitalization day, while the causes of inappropriate hospitalization day were also analyzed. Results A total of 1 641 days of stay from 148 medical records were reviewed, and 129 days of stay (7. 9%) were seen as inappropriate. Two major factors for inappropriate stays were waiting for surgery and waiting for test, roughly 89. 1% of the inappropriate hospitalization days. The proportion of inappropriate hospital stays reduced to 4. 8% after adjustment of two-day weekend. Inappropriate hospital stays mostly appeared during the second day to the eighth day after admission(93. 8%). Logistic analysis results showed that with concomitant symptoms, preoperative waiting days > 5 days, high level surgery, non-emergency admission were significantly associated with appropriateness of hospital stays (P<0. 05). Conclusions The rate of inappropriate stays will be reduced and the quality of medical services will be improved if comprehensive measures could be carried out according to the causes of inappropriate stays.

Objective To evaluate the curative efficacy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) on bile leaks after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Methods Data of 12 cases, hospitalized in our hospital from March 2013 to February 2016, with bile leaks after OLT confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging of the pancreas (MRCP) or ERCP were retrospectively analyzed . The curative efficacy of ERCP was evaluated including clinical symptoms of bile leaks and complications, occurrence time and location, diagnosis and treatment process and efficacy. Results In this study, 12 cases were male patients, with the average age of 49.75 ± 8.55 (age from 35 to 62 years old). Among them 11 cases were successfully treated by endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD), and the success rate of endoscopical therapy was 91.7%, the curative rate of bile leaks was 91.7%(11/12). No ERCP related serious complications and death were found in patients. Nine cases combined with biliary strictures and/or biliary duct stone/bile plug were performed endoscopic sphinctrotomy (EST) during the first time of ERCP, and accepted further ERCP treatment after 2 weeks when the bile leaks were healed. All patients with ENBD were carried out well except one case. Conclusion ERCP is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment method for different types of bile leaks after OLT.

Objective To perform the epidemiological analysis of the developmental dysplasia hip(DDH) in Shigatse of Tibet in order to explore the correlation between the onset of DDH with some risk factors such as altitude and take targeted intervention measures to reduce the disability rate of DDH.Methods A total of 5900 children aged 0 to 14 year-old from different altitudes in Shigatse of Tibet were surveyed randomly from June 2013 to June 2014.SPSS 18.0 statistical software was used to analyze the correlation of the onset of DDH with residence altitude,production and living ways,binding method of the lower limbs,delivery situation and genetic factor.Results One hundred and ninety-one DDH cases were screened out,and the average incidence of DDH in Shigatse of Tibet was about 32.4‰,and unilateral was higher than bilateral,fight side(33 cases)∶left side(68 cases) =1.00∶ 2.06.The result of Pearson correlation analysis of the onset of DDH with residence altitude showed that there was significant correlation (r=0.820,P=0.046).The result of Spearman correlation analysis of the onset of DDH with production and living ways showed that there was significant correlation(r=0.530,P =0.048).The result of x2 test analysis of the onset of DDH with binding method of the double lower limbs and breech delivery showed that there was statistical significance (P=0.0017,0.0082).Conclusions The DDH incidence of children living in high altitude areas in Tibet has certain regional characteristics indicating that it has clear correlation with some environmental risk factors such as altitude,methods of the lower limbs binding,production and living ways and breech delivery,especially the bundled package of lower limbs is the main environmental risk factor of DDH.

Objective Measure the variation trend and the problems of bed allocation and its equity at primary medical institutions and provide theoretical basis for optimizing the policy of health resources allocation for the government.Methods Analysis of the distribution and equity of the inpatient beds at primary medical institutions in terms of geographical area by means of the survey of regular overall statistics forms and the methods of Gini coefficient and Theil index.Results From 2009 to 2012,the number increase of beds at such institutions geographically was 7.72%,while that in eastern,central and western regions of China were respectively 5.35%, 3.97% and 27.88%.The number increase at community healthcare centers was 46.58%,while that in eastern,central and western regions of the country were respectively 18.09%,29.57%和 81.53%.The number increase at township hospitals was 2.33%,while that in eastern,central and western regions were respectively - 3.83%,- 0.43% and 22%.The Gini coefficient of bed allocation at such institutions was beyond 0.6,while that in eastern, central and western regions were respectively under 0.3,0.3-0.4 and 0.6 above.The Gini coefficient of bed allocation at community healthcare centers fell from above 0.4 to under 0.4.The Gini coefficient in the western regions increased from 0.3-0.4 to over 0.4.The variation trend of township hospitals was similar with the overall conditions at such institutions.The intra-regional Theil indexes and their contribution rates of bed allocation at such institutions were higher than those of inter-regional. Conclusions The overall variation trend of bed allocation at such institutions was on the rise,yet its variation trend of equity remains unchanged.The bed allocation and its equity at such institutions were higher than those at township hospitals.The growth rate in western regions was the highest,but the absolute number was the lowest.Moreover,the equity of bed allocation in such regions was not only the lowest,but also was found rising.The influence of bed allocation in intra-region terms was large,while its equity was not only lower but falling as well.
