Objective:To formulate the Guidelines for the Construction of Community Health Service Centers in Pudong New Area, Shanghai. Methods:This was a qualitative study. This study was divided into 2 stages. The first stage of the study was conducted from June to August 2023 and involved the heads of the General Affairs Departments of the 47 community health service centers in Pudong New Area. These individuals completed online questionnaires to compile a database on the current status of matching supply and demand resources in community health service centers in Pudong New Area. The second stage of the study run from September 2023 to August 2024. Firstly, the functional modules of China′s community health service centers would be clarified through a literature review. The construction scale and design requirements of similar institutions at home and abroad would be benchmarked, as well as practical experience. The results of Phase 1 research would then be combined to form the " Community Health Service Center Infrastructure Configuration Requirements and Design Suggestions (Draft)". Then, relevant experts were brought together to discuss the draft and form the " Community Health Service Center Infrastructure Configuration Requirements and Design Recommendations (Revised Version)".
