china youth daily client news (china youth daily/china youth network reporter zhang yi and liu shixin) this year, beijing municipal people's congress representative zhu yicheng experienced a special investigation - he stayed on the ground in a tertiary hospital to gain an in-depth understanding of the room for improvement in the medical insurance payment method based on disease type.
zhu yicheng is the chief physician of the department of neurology at peking union medical college hospital. she said that by choosing this research direction, she could understand her peers' thoughts on the reform of medical insurance payment methods.
to cooperate with the beijing municipal people's congress standing committee's special inquiry on the supervision and management of the use of medical insurance funds, this year, dozens of beijing municipal people's congress representatives formed more than a dozen research groups to conduct on-site research and in-depth exploration of the real problems that need to be urgently solved in the use of medical insurance.
the scope of the investigation covered the entire chain of medical insurance fund use and management. the on-site team intensively visited representative home stations, hospitals, community health service centers, pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies, commercial insurance companies, long-term care insurance service agencies, etc., and listened to opinions from all sides.
during an on-site investigation at the representative home station in nanchizi community, donghuamen street, dongcheng district, some residents reported that now they can only get medicine from the department they go to, but some elderly people have multiple diseases and need to get several medicines at once. they have no choice but to go to different departments at the same time, pay several more registration fees, and have to work hard to get a number.
beijing municipal people's congress deputy nie mengmei carefully wrote down the residents' demands. she works in this community, and people usually talk to her about the inconveniences in their lives, but she said that after conducting research with many people's congress representatives in professional fields, she has a more systematic understanding of the problems.
the third plenary session of the 20th cpc central committee proposed to enrich the content and forms of npc deputies' contact with the people. in fact, in recent years, beijing npc deputies have also been using various means to get a close look at public opinion, and on-site research is a new measure.
the research team consists of 3-5 people in a group. they are flexible and agile. they don't wear formalities or use clichés, and they go straight to the point.
some representatives said that on-site investigations broadened their depth of thinking about problems. chang yi, deputy to the beijing municipal people's congress and vice president of the beijing first hospital of integrated traditional chinese and western medicine, said that on-site investigations have clear themes, and team members can complement each other in terms of expertise, knowledge, and perspectives on problems, and can discuss real problems in depth.
haidian hospital is the first hospital in beijing to open a palliative care department. when deputies to the national people's congress conducted on-site research, they were concerned about hot issues such as whether medical insurance can be used for hospice care and whether hospice care can be carried out in the community.
tian rong, a member of the beijing municipal people's congress and deputy director of the department of respiratory medicine at beijing geriatric hospital, said that this was the first time she had a comprehensive understanding of palliative care and realized its importance.
after 18 on-site investigations, the representatives produced 14 research reports and raised 31 specific questions in eight aspects. in july this year, during the special inquiry on the supervision and management of the use of medical insurance funds held by the standing committee of the beijing municipal people's congress, many representatives frequently asked questions about the use of medical insurance funds, and the q&a interaction with the functional departments was high-quality and in-depth.
chen xuedan, a villager from dongbao village, lucheng town, tongzhou district, beijing, attended the two-hour special inquiry. she said, "the representatives said everything the people wanted to say."
