The Coupling Coordination of Medical Coverage,Public Health,and Medical Services in China:Accurate Depiction and Development Path
The coupling coordination of public health,medical coverage,and medical services is crucial for advancing high-quality healthcare development and improving governance efficiency.Empirical research reveals substantial disparities in the development levels of these three subsystems,with uneven progress across regions.In most provinces,medical coverage is observed to be the lagging component.The overall coupling degree,averaging around 0.49,indicates strengthened interaction and mutual influence among the systems,highlighting the intrinsic drive toward people-centered integrated development.However,with the notable exception of Beijing,most regions are still in the early stages of coupling coordination,indicating a need for stronger governance synergy.Structural adjustments to enhance coupling coordination can effectively boost overall health sector efficiency and address reform challenges.Development strategies involve two pathways:those that are economy-driven and those that are policy-driven.Economically disadvantaged areas should focus on policy-driven efforts to enhance coupling coordination,whereas economically developed areas should leverage economic momentum to accelerate the development of integrated health services to better meet people's needs throughout their life cycle.
