Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to bring together innovative methodologies in analyzing the model of organizing healthcare. Healthcare systems have undergone big changes in terms of development of a public health system, medical delivery system, and drug supply system for urban and rural residents. In urban areas, hospitals are leading in health technology and clinical skills, and the treatment of major or complicated illnesses, and community health centers provide care for common or minor illnesses. However, owing to a lack of effective planning, health resources and patients continue being directed to big hospitals. Health reforms’ main tasks include enhancing fund pooling and reimbursing capacity, exploring effective integration of various insurance schemes, and establishing a uniform health insurance scheme for all.

Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, a broad range of topics on “Organization Models of Healthcare” are expected to be covered, including but not limited to the following:

  • Corporate social responsibility;
  • Financing healthcare;
  • Healthcare accessibility;
  • Healthcare information systems;
  • Healthcare network;
  • Hospital strategic planning;
  • Human resources in healthcare;
  • Reforms of public hospitals.

(1) Background: The main research aim of this paper is to investigate the commonly stocked medicines in Chinese households. Firstly, a large number of questionnaires were collected to uncover the problem: most Chinese families have the habit of stocking their family medicine boxes. However, there is a lack of a standardized, systematic, and scientific list of household medicine stockpiles. As a result, there are major problems in stocking medicines in households: (1) There is little connection between the type and quantity of medicines stocked and real life; (2) The expiration date of medicines leads to misuse and waste of medicines; (3) The existing list of medicines can provide little help. (2) Methods: The preliminary drug stock list was summarized through case studies; the authenticity of the questions and the credibility of the list were verified through interviews; the number of different types of drugs and the relationship between the resident’s perception of the importance of drugs and their frequency of use was determined through questionnaires; the authenticity of the list was verified through interviews with senior doctors. (3) Results: We finally composed a scientific and practical list of common household medicines, developed a practical domestic-medication system for Chinese families, and conducted validation studies, which received the approval of senior doctors. (4) Conclusions: (1) Chinese families need to prepare medicines according to the actual composition of the family; (2) Chinese families need a scientific and systematic list of commonly prepared medicines; and (3) in addition to the types of medicines, it is also necessary to consider the number of individual types of medicines to be stocked.
