Abstract

Objective: Explore the homogeneous management of appropriate technology for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) care based on the county medical community platform. Methods: The hospital has formed a county medical community since 2020, based on which the platform develops homogeneous management of appropriate technologies for TCM nursing, establishes a medical training center, a remote consultation center and a TCM nursing quality control center, strengthens the construction of TCM nursing specialties, integrates TCM with public health and consolidates information support. The “321” model was developed, with January 2021 to December 2021 as the post-implementation period and January 2020 to December 2020 as the pre-implementation period, to compare the application of TCM nursing techniques before and after the implementation. Results: After the implementation of homogeneous management of TCM nursing techniques in the medical community units, the TCM nursing competence of primary care staff, patient compliance and satisfaction were significantly improved. Conclusion: The implementation of homogeneous management of TCM nursing techniques in the medical community units can enhance the TCM service capacity of primary care staff and improve the “sense of access to care” of patients.
