In the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Internet medical care has played an important role in responding to the epidemic and meeting the needs of the people for medical treatment, demonstrating the broad prospects for the Internet to empower health care .

The data disclosed by the National Health Commission in March this year showed that during the epidemic, Internet diagnosis and treatment in hospitals under the management of the National Health Commission increased 17 times compared with the same period last year. At the same time, the volume of diagnosis and treatment consultations on some third-party Internet service platforms has increased by more than 20 times over the same period, and the number of prescriptions has increased by nearly 10 times.

Practice has proved that Internet medical care can improve the modern management level of medical and health care, optimize resource allocation, innovate service models, improve service efficiency, reduce service costs, and better meet the people's growing medical and health needs. At the same time, Internet medical services provide new opportunities to promote the integration of the Internet and medical and health services and promote the development of the health industry.

Han Qide, honorary chairman of the Chinese Association for Science and Technology and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, emphasized at the forum that the development of Internet medical care provides an effective way to explore the distribution of medical resources for the whole society to coordinate and enjoy.

He said that innovation is risky, but reform requires innovation. In particular, for reforms that concern the vital interests of the people, we should adhere to an emancipating, prudent and inclusive attitude. Based on the effective actions of the government, we should give full play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, reshape the modern medical system, and promote the development of medical and health care. . According to Huang Luqi, president of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, in the context of national policy support, normalized epidemic prevention and control, and the growth of hospital business volume, information technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data based on the Internet provide traditional Chinese medicine. The innovation of original thinking provides strategies and at the same time improves the diagnosis and treatment level and clinical service capabilities of medical institutions.

He believes that Chinese medicine should seize the opportunity and make practical moves in integrated development; speed up the formulation of big data standards for traditional Chinese medicine to achieve practical results in integrated development; adhere to the people-centered approach and make a difference in integrated development.

During the epidemic, the logistics management of hospitals is a big challenge, and the degree of refined management also tests the ability of each hospital to resist pressure. The logic behind this is a brand new change in the thinking and management of "smart hospital" construction.

Guo Yanhong, Inspector of the Medical Administration and Hospital Administration of the National Health Commission, emphasized at the forum that the medical system is very complex. To improve its efficiency and quality, it is necessary to use the construction of "smart management" as a means to further enhance the refinement of hospital management Level. Local health administrative departments and hospitals at all levels should work together to promote the construction of "smart hospitals" in establishing medical service supervision platforms, formulating access standards, and promoting telemedicine, and vigorously promote the development of Internet medical services.

Liu Wenxian, deputy director of the Department of Planning, Development and Informatization of the National Health Commission, said that “Internet + Medical” must put the safety of medical quality and the safety of data and information as the prerequisite and first to ensure orderly development, while encouraging innovation. At the same time, be cautious.

He said that only by coordinating the promotion of online and offline integrated services, strengthening supervision, and standardizing services, can we better promote the sound and healthy development of the new business model "Internet + medical health". (End)
