Abstract:
Construction of a compact county medical community is an important measure to deepen the reform of the medical and health system, promote the downward flow of medical resources, and enhance the capacity of primary medical services. Building and improving the county medical community rehabilitation medical service system is of great significance for optimizing the allocation of medical resources and providing patients with full-cycle and all-round rehabilitation services. Starting from March 2019, Ningbo had explored the construction of a rehabilitation service system based on the compact county medical community, which combined the collaborative linkage of three levels of institutions and the deep empowerment of digital technology. This practice strengthened the digital infrastructure to deliver smart healthcare, facilitating the extension of high-quality rehabilitation medical resources to underserved areas. It promoteed the integration of standardized and specialized rehabilitation therapies by unifying protocols for homogeneous management while encouraging grassroots institutions to develop distinctive specialties. By emphasizing the synergy between clinical care and rehabilitation, multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams were established to operate joint clinics and wards. Additionally, home-based rehabilitation services were advanced through remote collaboration via " virtual wards" . As of 2024, this rehabilitation system had been implemented across 25 county medical community in Ningbo, significantly enhancing regional rehabilitation service capacity and expanding the scope of primary-level rehabilitation care. It had achieved continuity and intelligence in rehabilitation services, meeting diverse patient needs with notable success. This practice provided valuable insights for other regions seeking to strengthen their rehabilitation service systems.
