Abstract:
Objective:To analyze consecutive patients visits in a community health service station in Beijing.Methods:The basic information and behavior of the patients who visited Sanliheerqu Health Service Station in Beijing Xicheng district from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019 were retrieved from the electronic health records. The visiting situation, the stratification of the number of visits, and the correlation between the basic information and the consecutive visit was analyzed.Results:A total of 4 696 patients visited 202 560 times during 2015 to 2019, of whom 1 162 were consecutive patients (24.7%) with a total of 100 083 visits (49.4%).The annual number of visits, the total number of visits and the number of consecutive visits all showed an upward trend during the five years.The top 5 reasons for consecutive visit were all chronic diseases (hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, and stroke) with median annual visits of 11 to 18, and it was increasing with the year. The rates of incidental visits (1-3/year, 66/1 162, 5.7%) and continuous visits (4-26/year, 1 020/1 162, 87.8%) in 2015 were higher than those in other years; while the rates of frequent visits (27-52/year, 71/1 162, 6.1%) and very frequent visits (>52/year, 5/1 162, 0.4%) were lower. The rates of frequent visits (181/1 162, 15.6%) and very frequent visits (78/1 162, 6.7%) in 2019 were higher than those in other years (χ 2=182.40, P<0.001).Compared with the non-consecutive visit group, the proportion of women (38.1%,735/1 930) and overweight/obesity (39.6%, 777/1 960) in the consecutive visit group was higher (χ 2=36.09, 69.69, P <0.001). Conclusion:The consecutive visit rate of residents in this institution needs to be improved. The utilization rate of primary medical resources for patients with consecutive visit is high and the number of medical visits is on the rise. Gender and BMI of patients may be related to consecutive visit.
