Research on Optimization Design of Hierarchical Medical System in Post-epidemic Era Based on Sociological Perspective

Abstract

In the post-epidemic era, which is undoubtedly a long-term and complex era, the development of hierarchical medical system is widely concerned as an effective solution to the "difficulty in accessing medical care" in China. Based on the perspective of sociological structural functionalism, this paper analyzes the organizational relationships of various stakeholders in the hierarchical medical system, and discusses the operating mechanism of each organization. Taking the optimization of the organizational relationship between patients and primary medical institutions as the starting point, it advocates that the community-level hospitals’ service platform should be the main body, innovate and expand the service model of primary medical institutions, and increase the "community embeddedness" of primary medical institutions. In addition, we will establish a close two-way referral system between primary medical hospitals and higher-level hospitals based on Internet technology, so that each organizational structure can form a benign and friendly interaction.
