The role of medical and health policies in the health risk management system

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Demand on healthy life is increasing, so the health risk management becomes more and more important. OBJECTIVE: This study is to discuss the internal motivation and operability of medical and health policies, so as to provide help for national health risk management. METHODS: The changes and development direction of China’s medical and health policies are summarized and analyzed, and the problems of policy evolution are summarized. The “health in all policies (HiAP)” is taken as an example, and its application value in health risk management and assessment is discussed. Gansu Province is taken as an example to evaluate the implementation status and effect of HiAP strategy. The primary indexes of policy implementation effect monitoring are determined through the “structure-process-result” model. Delphi method are adopted to determine the final index system and weight distribution. RESULTS: 17 secondary indexes and 56 tertiary indexes are determined, which can comprehensively evaluate the implementation effect of HiAP strategy. CONCLUSION: The implementation monitoring and assessment system based on the HiAP can supervise and control the implementation effect of HiAP strategy, which can provide important reference for national health risk management.
