【Magnifier】:Day Surgery

The difficulty in seeing a doctor is a problem that the people are tangled up with. There is no solution. Yesterday, 11 delegates jointly submitted a proposal that at present, the medical resources are tight and the medical expenses increase. The contradiction between the “difficult and expensive” patients is increasingly highlighted. How to reduce medical costs, shorten hospital waiting time, and speed up patients Turnover, the full and rational use of bed resources has become a problem that hospitals need to solve urgently.

Day surgery reduces hospital stay

According to investigations by Wang Yuejian and other representatives, many well-known hospitals in China have taken the lead in implementing "day surgery" measures in recent years. Compared with the traditional method, the new model shortens the number of hospital stays for patients and reduces and controls the total medical expenses.

The so-called "day surgery" refers to the selection of patients with certain indications before the admission has completed the preoperative examination, appointment of the operation time, the same day of hospitalization, the day of surgery, a short-term observation after surgery, recovery and discharge of a surgical model . Delegates said that statistics from the medical insurance department showed that "day surgery" can generally reduce medical expenses by 25% to 50% compared with hospitalization.

Inclusion of day surgery in the scope of Medicare settlement

Delegates suggested that the social institutions in Foshan should learn from the practice of developed cities both inside and outside the province, and include day surgery in the scope of medical insurance settlement according to the single-disease “rational treatment” policy. "However, the current difficulty in solving 'day surgery' is that the cost of preclinical routine examinations and inspections of outpatients cannot be included in the 'day surgery' inpatient medical costs, and therefore it is recommended that the cost of social security funds be paid without increasing the cost of social insurance funds. The preoperative inspection items are set up in a menu format to avoid duplication of inspections and non-necessity checks and to effectively control unnecessary medical expenses."

In addition, they also suggested that in order to prevent the waste of “day surgery” medical insurance resources, it is recommended that a rewards and penalties mechanism be established to promptly record medical staff’s violations into credit records and “three hooks” with medical insurance prescription rights, promotion of titles, and performance pay. .
