Health think tanks serve as a crucial intellectual support for the Healthy China strategy. The authors systematically analyzed the definitions, classifications, and operational status of health think tanks, categorizing them into five types: government-affiliated think tanks, university and research institute think tanks, social think tanks, hospital think tanks, and corporate think tanks. It was indicated that current health think tanks had significant room for improvement in both quantity and influence, particularly concerning deeper integration with policy decision-making and interdisciplinary collaboration. Although these think tanks played a unique role in supporting government decision-making, issues such as lagging institutional development, insufficient collaborative effectiveness, and difficulties in translating research findings into practice remained prominent. To enhance the ability of think tanks to serve the Healthy China strategy, this study proposed strategies including strengthening top-level design, improving participation mechanisms, optimizing management and evaluation systems, establishing data-sharing platforms, and deepening collaborative governance, with the aim of fostering the healthy development of China′s health think tanks.

Objective:To estimate the scale,expenditure and financing structure of potentially preventable hospitalization(PPH)for diabetes in Shenzhen,and provide data support for improving the utilization efficiency of medical and health resources.Methods:The System of Health Account 2011 was used to calculate the status of PPH for diabetes in Shenzhen and its cost scale and structure.Results:In 2019-2022,there will be a total of 441 426 avoidable hospital admissions for diabetes,hypertension,angina,influenza and pneumonia and dehydration and gastroenteritis,which cumulatively account for approximately 70.00%of admissions.The cost of hospitalization could be avoided by 525 028.06 million yuan,accounting for 6.18%of the total costs.The out-of-pocket costs were 1 762.724 4 million yuan,accounting for 33.57%of the total avoidable hospitalization costs.The out-of-pocket payment of angina pectoris,gangrene and rheumatic heart disease were higher and the proportion of out-of-pocket costs was larger.Conclusion:The large scale of hospital can be avoided in Shenzhen,and the waste of medical resources caused by unreasonable hospitalization is serious.The level of primary health care should be improved,the behavior of doctors should be regulated,the role of intervention in diseases of key populations should be increased,and the system of reimbursement of health insurance should be optimized.
