Comments Tonight on National Mutual Recognition of Inspection Results of Medical Institutions: Truncating Unspoken Rules of Interest

Many patients have been troubled by repeated examinations in the process of seeing a doctor across hospitals. Sometimes the same test needs to be repeated in another hospital, which increases both the time cost and the financial burden of patients. However, from next month, with the launch of the mutual recognition of test results in medical institutions, this old problem that plagues patients will be gradually solved.

Tonight’s comment (commentator Guo Peiyuan):

Those involuntary repeated inspection requirements not only “overturned” the authoritative reports issued by other medical institutions, but also made patients a victim of Playing the “ball” is a waste of energy and financial resources, and may also delay the diagnosis and treatment time. The reason why many hospitals stick to this “principle” is nothing more than profit-driven. Now that I have one-third of my acre of land, the “benefits” brought by inspection and inspection will naturally have to be absorbed by me. This kind of awareness is narrow and utilitarian. Of course, behind the “non-recognized results”, there is also a side of the hospital’s distrust of the results issued by other companies. But today, when the inspection equipment is generally upgraded, it is difficult to have a hard injury. The “Administrative Measures” this time emphasizes that the sign of mutual recognition of inspection and inspection results is unified as HR. This provides a practical guarantee for the “mutual recognition” mechanism. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the requirement for patients to repeat the examination is an unreasonable and backward “hidden rule”. For the accumulated habits that have existed for many years, the sunshine rule is not enough, and the unspoken rules of “non-mutual recognition” need to be completely cut off by increasing supervision and accountability.
