Wuxi, May 5 (Reporter Zhou Zhaojun, Shen Ran, Zhu Xiaoying) "Admission to the hospital in Wuxi is equivalent to being admitted to Shanghai Ruijin Hospital. On the 19th, the "High-quality Development Research Tour" theme interview group came to the Wuxi Branch of Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (hereinafter referred to as Wuxi Branch) in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, Shao Jie, president of the hospital, told reporters.

With the continuous acceleration of the integration process of the Yangtze River Delta, the mutual circulation and rational distribution of medical resources in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces and cities are becoming the norm, and Jiangsu people can enjoy Shanghai's medical services with local medical insurance.

Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine is a well-known hospital with a century-old history and superb medical technology. As a regional integration cooperation project in the Yangtze River Delta, Ruijin Hospital Wuxi Branch officially opened in 2019, which is a non-profit tertiary comprehensive medical institution invested and constructed by the People's Government of Xinwu District of Wuxi City and entrusted to Ruijin Hospital. The hospital has a construction area of 15,5 square meters, a total investment of 19.3 billion yuan, and 501 approved beds. At present, a total of 42 clinical medical technology departments and 14 inpatient wards have been opened here.

Medical linkage in different places and cities

The 18th is the time when Wang Dong, chief physician of the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, visited the Wuxi Branch. At ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Dong patiently treated a local patient in Wuxi.

Wang Dong told reporters that he came to the Wuxi branch at least twice a month. "There are shuttle buses between the Shanghai General Institute and the Wuxi Branch every morning and evening for employees to travel between the two places. There are also dormitories in Wuxi Branch, and it is convenient to rest here. ”

There are many experts like Wang Dong who have been on call in the two cities. As a pediatrician, Shao Jie basically maintains the rhythm of working in Wuxi from Monday to Friday and returning to Shanghai on Saturday and Sunday.

According to Shao Jie, "The clinical department discipline leaders and executive directors of Wuxi Branch are all medical experts and business backbones of Shanghai Ruijin General Hospital, and nearly 500 experts of the General Hospital have completed practice registration in Wuxi Branch and regularly carry out diagnosis and treatment activities." ”

The homogenization of medical resources in the two places is not only the visit of Shanghai doctors to Jiangsu, but also a large part of the immersive training of young medical staff, as well as the guidance and support of experts on the construction of the entire department of the branch.

Yu Lifen, deputy chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, who visits the Wuxi branch for three days a week, also focuses part of her energy on the training of young doctors in the branch, "The young doctors of the Wuxi branch will be arranged to receive training in the main hospital for a period ranging from three months to three years, and I will give them good guidance in the general hospital." I have also been thinking and supporting the infrastructure of the branch department, which is also the work that many of my colleagues are doing. ”

Small outpatient clinic, large ward

What is the volume of outpatient visits today? How many surgeries are there? Who is doing the surgery? In the background of the general hospital of Ruijin Hospital, the real-time data of Wuxi branch is clear at a glance. Using information technology to open remote interactive platforms such as remote pathology, remote film reading, remote consultation, and remote ward rounds, experts from Ruijin Hospital can provide technical guidance and quality control in Shanghai to ensure the reliability and accuracy of diagnostic results.

"The outpatient volume here is not large or crowded, and we hope to carry out high-end medical treatment, diagnosis and treatment of difficult and miscellaneous diseases and other services with the concept of 'small outpatient clinic, large ward'." Shao Jie introduced.

How to break down regional barriers between Yangtze River Delta cities, push open the "glass door" and share high-quality medical care? Promoting the homogenization of medical standards and medical quality in different places is an attempt by Wuxi Branch.

For example, the medical services received by cases admitted to Wuxi Branch from diagnosis to treatment are all carried out in accordance with the procedures and methods of Ruijin General Hospital; Difficult and severe patients admitted in Wuxi can be quickly transferred from the green referral channel to Shanghai Ruijin Hospital for treatment. Through integrated operation, the medical resources of Wuxi Branch and Shanghai General Hospital have been efficiently circulated and distributed.

"Since the full rollout of the medical insurance remote settlement exemption policy in the Yangtze River Delta Demonstration Area, patients in Jiangsu go to Shanghai for treatment, and medical insurance settlement can be completed in a few minutes by swiping their mobile phones." In Shao Jie's view,

With the acceleration of the process of co-construction and sharing of high-quality medical resources and service resources, the problems of "multiple examinations", "repeated examinations" and "ineffective inspections" that plague people running back and forth for medical treatment in different places and running repeatedly are expected to be gradually solved.
