Yichang Hierarchical Diagnosis Model
Internet-powered hierarchical diagnosis connecting city, county and township providers, recognized by the State Council.
Project Background
Yichang faced fragmented information across city, county and township providers. Patients found care inconvenient and medical resources were unevenly distributed. Yichang and Healthyway worked together to explore an internet-powered hierarchical diagnosis model.
Solution
Healthyway built a collaborative hierarchical diagnosis platform for Yichang, enabling:
- Information connectivity across city, county and township providers
- Two-way referral pathways that guide patients through orderly care
- Remote consultation so local patients can access specialist support
- Unified health records with real-time sharing of diagnosis data
- Performance tools that encourage stronger primary-care capacity
Impact
The Yichang Model received national-level recognition:
- Recognized by the State Council as a benchmark for hierarchical diagnosis
- Primary-care first-visit rates improved and care order became clearer
- Patient costs decreased while satisfaction improved
- Medical resource utilization improved and primary-care capability strengthened
