Abstract
The development status of regional longitudinal healthcare alliances in China was analyzed in the paper. As found by the authors, such existing problems as the healthcare administrative system and fiscal input system, the crisis of confidence on primary medical institutions, poor information platforms, and limited means of medical insurance payment, constitute roadblocks for healthcare alliances to play their roles. Proposals of the paper cover such grounds as follows: the government to make a top-down design and a longitudinal and integrated healthcare system can be built; to build a corporate structure for the alliances, with greater fiscal support; to reform the medical insurance payment practice for integrating interests of medical associations; to clarify the responsibilities of tertiary hospitals, for building a win-win mechanism among stakeholders, and improving the information sharing platform. These measures, if in place, can propel the healthy development of healthcare alliances in China. Key words: Regional longitudinal; Healthcare alliance; Hierarchical medical system; Development status; Policy suggestions
