Quantitative Evaluation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Talent Policy in Chinabased on PMC Index Model
Objective To quantitatively evaluate traditional Chinese medicine talent policies at the central and local levels in China,we analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the policies,and provided targeted suggestions for the current problems in the policies,so as to provide reference for optimizing the work of traditional Chinese medicine talents in China.Methods We retrieved traditional Chinese medicine talent policies issued by the country govern-ment and local governments in the past decade in Peking University's PKULAW.com and government web-sites.After the text mining with ROSTCM 6.0 software,we constructed a PMC index model containing 10 primary variables and 41 secondary variables.Based on the correlation between policy levels and the diversity of policy con-tent,we selected the representative policies and used the PMC index model to analyze them.Results The quantita-tive evaluation results of policies showed that the average PMC index score for 10 representative policies was 6.72 points,of which 5 were excellent policies and 5 were good policies.The overall design of policies was relatively rea-sonable,but the scores for policy content,policy tools and policy evaluation were relatively low.The scores for cen-tral policies were generally higher than those for local policies.Conclusion The policy contents of China's traditional Chinese medicine talent policies need to be further improved,and the use of various types of policy tools should be balanced and coordinated.The evaluation and supervision of work effectiveness and progress also need to be strengthened.Meanwhile,the local governments should actively introduce special policies for traditional Chinese medicine talents and optimize local policy design.
