Exploration of a regional shared mode for TCM pharmacies in medical consortia under the background of"Internet+"
Objective This study aims to explore a new operational mode for shared TCM phar-macies within urban-rural medical consortia to provide homogeneous TCM services to people at the grassroots level.Methods An operational mode for shared TCM pharmacies based on online hospitals was built.This mode was established by relying on the leading hospital in the medical consortium and working together with grassroots member units.Results This new mode has improved the problem of insufficient high-quality TCM service resources at the grassroots level.It has also broken through the bottlenecks of inadequate preparation of decoction pieces and inconvenient prescriptions in grassroots medical institutions.Simultaneously,it ensures the comprehensiveness of medication types and safety at the grassroots level,thereby enhancing the capacity of TCM services.Conclusion Under the back-ground of"Internet +",the regional sharing mode of TCM pharmacy of the medical consortia can ex-tend the scope of TCM services,realize homogeneity of regional TCM services,and improve the abil-ity and quality of TCM services at a grassroots level.
