Objective To evaluate the policies related to the high-quality development of family doctor contract services at the provincial level in China,and put forward policy improvement countermeasures to promote the high-quality develop-ment of family doctor contract services at the provincial level given the shortcomings reflected in the evaluation results.Methods Based on the 22 policies related to the high-quality development of family doctor contracted service at the pro-vincial level,the municipality level,or the autonomous region level in China from March 2022 to October 2023,9 of these policies were selected as policies evaluation samples,and a quantitative evaluation system was constructed through text mining and PMC index modeling methods.To conduct quantitative analysis and evaluate the selected sample policies by this evaluation system.Results The PMC index values of the 9 sample policies were all ≥6.72 points,the policies evaluation grades were all good grades or above,and there were no policies for acceptable and poor grades.The sample policies scored higher in the three dimensions of policy function,policy content and,policy nature,with scores ≥0.93,the overall quality of the high-quality development policies of family doctor contract services at the provincial level in Chi-na was relatively high,which can effectively promote the high-quality development of family doctor contract services at the provincial level in China.However,the scores of the sample policies in the dimensions of policy innovation,responsibili-ty subjects,guarantee incentives,issuing agencies,policies tools,and policy evaluation were relatively low,with scores ≤0.84 points,some indicators subordinated to these six dimensions had different degrees and relatively obvious deficiencies in the sample policies,which means there was still some room for optimization in the high-quality develop-ment policies of family doctor contracted services at the provincial level in China.Conclusion It is necessary to enrich the policy content and attach importance to the internalization of policy innovation;actively mobilize the efforts of all par-ties to create a sound environment for development;and improve the guarantee incentive mechanism to ensure the effec-tiveness of policy implementation.
