The National Health Commission and other departments issued a notice a few days ago, starting in 2023 to improve the experience of medical treatment and enhance the experience of patients nationwide. At present, night diagnosis and treatment services have been promoted in many places to divert the pressure of hospitals during the day, so that patients can go to work during the day and seek medical treatment at night.
At present, Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places are promoting the construction of night clinics. More and more hospitals and community health service centers have launched night outpatient clinics to provide convenience for patients by adjusting medical resources and extending visit time. Beijing Jishuitan Hospital provides laboratory tests, B-ultrasound, CT and other inspection items at the same time as the night outpatient clinic, so that patients' routine tests and inspections can be completed as much as possible in the evening of the same day.
Shanghai Jiading District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has re-planned the route of medical treatment, and the inspection items, logistics and other guarantees are also relatively centralized, which is convenient for patients to seek medical treatment.
Some hospitals stated that they do not require medical staff to participate in night outpatient work, and medical staff can sign up for night outpatient work on a voluntary basis on the basis of reasonably arranging their working hours.
