Shanghai： Critical patients should be treated immediately even if there is no nucleic acid test result.

　　On May 16th, Shanghai held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control to introduce the latest situation.

　　Some media have asked questions. After the unsealing, the number of people seeking medical treatment will definitely increase. How can medical institutions in this city meet the medical needs of citizens? What are the convenience measures?

　　Zong Ming, deputy mayor of Shanghai, said that as the situation of epidemic prevention and control continues to improve, the flow of social personnel will gradually accelerate and the demand for medical services will further increase. Medical institutions in the city will increase the supply of medical services, improve the accessibility of medical services, and meet the needs of the public for medical services.

　　The first is to extend the time of diagnosis and treatment services.From Monday to Saturday, the medical institutions in the city will extend the outpatient service hours according to the number of patients seeking medical treatment, so as to ensure that all the patients on that day can receive medical treatment. On the basis of working day operation arrangement, we hope and have asked all medical institutions in the city to increase weekend operation arrangement in an orderly manner to solve the backlog of operations during the epidemic.

　　The second is to optimize the appointment service.Medical institutions in the city should carry out outpatient service, inspection, testing and other services by time, and fully equip medical staff and consultation rooms according to the number of patients’ appointments to reduce the waiting time of patients.

　　The third is to ensure the smooth passage of critical and severe rescue. The emergency department should set up a buffer area to ensure that even if there is no nucleic acid test result, critically ill patients should be treated immediately under the condition of standardized protection.

　　Fourth, strengthen drug allocation and health management.Increase the drug allocation in community health service centers, and constantly expand the types of drugs extended to community prescriptions by higher-level hospitals. Strengthen the active health management of the elderly, chronic patients, children, pregnant women and other key groups, and carry out COVID-19 vaccination in an orderly manner.

　　The fifth is to continuously improve Internet diagnosis and treatment services.Implement cross-hospital follow-up visits in Internet hospitals, support online reimbursement of major illness medical insurance and volunteer "dispensing" services. In order to meet the needs of citizens for Sunday medical treatment, from May 22nd to the end of June, all Internet hospitals in the city opened free clinic services on Sundays.

　　In order to ensure the epidemic prevention safety of medical institutions, medical institutions use "place code" in an all-round way and set up a health check-up machine with conditional layout. At the same time, do a good job in the environment of medical institutions, strictly protect the personal health of medical staff, implement the district management in the hospital, and prevent the occurrence of nosocomial infection.
