This study, through literature research, sorted out the evolution of China′s patient medical experience-related policies and the shift in concept from satisfaction to medical experience. It divided the historical evolution of patient medical experience policies into four periods: the exploration period, the development period, the policy improvement period, and the new policy implementation period, based on the implementation of reform and opening up, the introduction of new medical reforms, and the proposal of the " theme activity" in 2023.
