China News Service, Hangzhou, July 29 (Reporter Zhang Yuhuan) The number of traditional in-hospital visits has been reduced from 8 to 3, and the number of queues for payment has been reduced from at least two to today's "zero queuing", saving nearly 20 minutes on average for a single outpatient service …Now in Zhejiang, the new phenomenon of seeking medical treatment has gradually replaced the "worry to see a doctor" phenomenon that has been widely criticized by the people, and has opened up a "new possibility" for a well-off life.

Streamline the medical treatment process from mobile phones to mobile self-service kiosks
"This electronic card can replace the physical medical treatment cards, social security cards and citizen cards of various hospitals in the hands of the people, and it carries the whole process of hand-held medical treatment, such as appointment registration, queuing number, scanning code for medical treatment, inspection and inspection report inquiry, and mobile payment. The functions include all-round services such as Internet hospitals, medical insurance settlement, and health management," said the relevant person in charge of the Zhejiang Provincial Health Commission.

The "invisible" virtual card not only simplifies the medical treatment process and promotes the solution of the problem of "difficult and troublesome medical treatment", but also actually achieves "cost reduction and efficiency improvement".

Based on the annual cost of 200,000 self-service equipment for each hospital, it has saved nearly 70 million yuan in the past year. .
After a year of promotion, the Zhejiang Health Insurance Card has now covered 16 provincial hospitals, 72 municipal hospitals, 239 county hospitals and 231 primary medical institutions within the province, and most of the urban areas of Hangzhou and Jinhua The pharmacy has supported the settlement of health insurance cards.

It connects residents' personal medical and health information and aggregates various online medical and health services. , Avoiding repeated card application, repeated queuing, and repeated inspections during the process of medical treatment, greatly enhancing the sense of experience of medical treatment." said the relevant person in charge of Zhejiang Provincial Health Commission.
