Abstract:
Recently , the country actively explores the pattern of an integrated healthcare which enables the as-sociation among hospitals of different levels , aimed to achieve maximum utilization of medical resources and lead a reasonable distribution of the patients .By reviewing the practices related to the integration of healthcare in Beijing , Shanghai , Zhenjiang and Wuhan city , this paper sums up in five typical mechanisms , i.e.organization and manage-ment mechanism , human resource management mechanism , interest distribution mechanism , service continuity and resources sharing mechanism .The effects of these practices were analyzed and the faced challenges were discussed . The following points were made clear during analysis and discussion:the sustainability of the collaboration mode and organization structure , human resource supports and incentive methods , health insurance guidance for hospitals and patients , two-way referral system and supporting measures , and building of information system .Then we put forward some suggestions , hoping to offer some references to the establishment of integrated healthcare in other regions .
