Research on policy texts of continuity of care in China from the perspective of policy tools
Objective To explore the distribution of policy tools of continuity of care in China,and to provide references for the opti-mization and implementation of continuity of care policies.Methods A total of 28 policy texts of continuity of care between 2012 to 2023 issued in China were selected.A two-dimensional framework from the perspective of policy tools and policy periods were es-tablished.The policy texts were analyzed by using content analysis.Frequency and percentage were used to describe the quantity of the policies.Results In the X dimension,supply-oriented,demand-oriented,and enviromental-oriented policy tools accounted for 25.49％,31.37％,and 43.14％,respectively.In the Y dimension,the 12th five-year,the 13th five-year,and 14th five-year poli-cy tools accounted for 17.64％,50.98％,and 31.38％,respectively.Conclusion The main policy tools of continuity of care are en-vironment-oriented and demand-oriented policy tools,while supply-oriented policy tools are insufficient.It is suggested to increase the application of supply-oriented policy tools,and to explore the model of continuity of care in clinical practice,so as to promote the implementation of continuity of care policies.
