Beijing plans to introduce 22 unified medical cards

At present, almost every hospital has a separate visit card and can not be common with each other, which makes many often run the hospital's "old disease" quite frustrated: a few doctors, you can get a lot of cards. In response, the city's Hospital Authority recently introduced a New Deal and plans to launch a unified "Beijing Medical Communication" card for 22 hospitals. The health department hopes to gradually replace the visiting cards used by various hospitals through the convenient features of the card.

Visit the doctor's cards to help patients

Patient sees a handful of cards in hand

Yesterday, the reporter went to Jishuitan Hospital. The staff in the registration hall window said that if he is seeking medical treatment for the first time, he needs to apply for a doctor's card at the same time when registering. This card does not require deposit deposit. After the patient completes this visit, there is no need to process the card.

However, some patients suggested that this situation is more suitable for patients who need to attend the hospital many times. "If it is an old case, it can be more convenient to use the card once, but it does not make sense for patients who occasionally go to one time."

One patient reluctantly stated that he usually went to a different hospital to see a doctor. At least five or six medical cards have been accumulated in his hand. “If you go to a home, you have to have one, and sometimes you forget to take it and you have to make it up again. There are two cards in my hand."

Different districts have to set up separate cards

Later, the reporter went to a third-level specialist hospital in Dongcheng District, and the situation was even more complicated. Because the hospital is divided into different districts, although not far away from each other, they need to handle different cards.

The reporter first took the medical insurance card to the registration window, hoping to hang an ordinary number, the staff told the need to apply for a hospital visit card, the card requires a 10 yuan deposit, after completing the treatment, you can apply for a refund of the card. About 3 minutes, the reporter successfully completed the entire process of card and registration.

However, when it was necessary to go to the other district of the hospital to see the number of a specialist, the registered office staff asked the reporter to re-run a doctor's card used in the district. Similarly, a deposit of 10 yuan was required.

Silver medical card hospital is not universal

The reporter learned that in order to facilitate the patient's medical treatment, last year the Chaoyang Hospital and the 301 Hospital launched the "Silver Medical Card" in cooperation with banks. With the "Silver Medical Card," you can make an appointment at the bank self-service terminal and you can also achieve "first treatment, after payment."

However, at present, the "silver medical cards" of various hospitals cannot be used between hospitals. In addition, cooperative banks are also limited. For example, the “Silver Medical Card” of the 301 Hospital can only be applied to four banks: the Agricultural Bank of China, the Bank of China, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Construction Bank.

Reservation needs to activate the medical insurance card first

In the investigation, the reporter found that there are also some hospitals that do not use cards, but take other measures. In the appointment window of the Tiantan Yard of the Beijing Stomatological Hospital, the reporter was informed that before the appointment number source, it was necessary to visit the card-building center to activate the medical insurance card. The reporter went to Jianka Center. After simply filling in a form, submitting the medical insurance card will be activated soon. Then, go back to the appointment registration window to complete the appointment or registration. There is no need to apply for a separate visit card at the hospital.

â– Cause Analysis

The hospital doctor's advice system is not uniform

The reporter learned that the reason why the hospital visit cards cannot be unified is that the basic reason is that the doctor's advice system is not uniform. The visit card is equivalent to a “pass” for visiting a doctor in the hospital. The card records various types of patient information. For example, what photos were taken in the radiology department, what tests were performed in the ultrasound department, and what prescriptions the doctor prescribed were recorded in the card. The ID of the medical card is unique, which is equivalent to a total index, connecting the patient's visits in different locations in the hospital. "A patient's record of each medication visit will be stored on a computer. It is more convenient to use the referral card for referral at the time of referral," said a staff member from a top-three hospital.

22 hospitals plan to push "Beijing Medical Communication"

According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Hospital Authority, the city plans to launch pilot “Beijing Medical Communication” visit cards at four hospitals, including Friendship Hospital and Chaoyang Hospital. After the pilots mature, they will be promoted in 22 major municipal hospitals in the city.

According to reports, the "Beijing Medical Communication" card is mainly for the convenience of non-medical insurance patients, given that currently all the major hospitals in the city have already had doctor workstations, they can achieve information networking and interoperability functions in the hospital, such as inspection, testing, payment, and so on. The “Beijing Medical Communication” card stores a certain amount of money and can perform multiple inspections and other services within the hospital. It also settles the bill when it completes a diagnosis and treatment process, avoiding the waiting time for duplicated pricing and queuing payments.

Medicare patients temporarily missed the "Beijing Medical Communication" card

According to the relevant person in charge of the Hospital Authority, the “Beijing Medical Communication” card will be used in parallel with the hospital's visit card and will not force the patient to handle it. He hopes to gradually replace the visit card through the convenient features of the former. At the same time, because the “Beijing Medical Communication” card does not have the function of social insurance card segmentation and real-time settlement of medical treatment items, medical insurance patients cannot be used temporarily.
