China has relaxed standards for setting up traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinics, according to documents released by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SATCM) Monday.
國家中醫(yī)藥管理局11日發(fā)布文件,我國將放寬開設(shè)中醫(yī)診所的標準。
此次印發(fā)的診所標準分為兩類:一類是在中醫(yī)藥理論指導下,運用中藥(traditional Chinese medicine)和針灸(acupuncture)、拔罐(cupping)、推拿(massage)等非藥物療法開展診療服務,以及中藥調(diào)劑(TCM prescription)、湯劑(TCM herbal soup)煎煮等中藥藥事服務的診所,中醫(yī)藥治療率達100%。該類診所采用備案制管理,適用《中醫(yī)診所基本標準》。另一類是提供中西兩法服務和不符合 《中醫(yī)診所備案管理暫行辦法》規(guī)定的服務范圍或者存在不可控的醫(yī)療安全風險的中醫(yī)(綜合)診所(combination of TCM and western medicine),適用《中醫(yī)(綜合)診所基本標準》。
根據(jù)《中醫(yī)診所基本標準》,設(shè)置傳統(tǒng)純中醫(yī)診所,需要至少有1名滿足相應要求的執(zhí)業(yè)醫(yī)師(qualified practioner);開展中藥飲片調(diào)劑活動的,至少有1名具備資質(zhì)的中藥技術(shù)人員(technical personnel of TCM)。新標準不再對中藥房飲片品種(types of prepared herbal medicine)、診室面積(consulting room area)等設(shè)定具體數(shù)字門檻,但增加了感染控制(infection control)的內(nèi)容,要求診所制定感染控制制度和流程,中醫(yī)藥技術(shù)操作符合中醫(yī)醫(yī)療技術(shù)相關(guān)性感染預防與控制等有關(guān)規(guī)定。
根據(jù)《中醫(yī)(綜合)診所基本標準》,中醫(yī)(綜合)診所仍應以提供中醫(yī)藥門診診斷和治療為主(prioritize TCM),中醫(yī)藥治療率不低于85%。并設(shè)置診所建筑面積不少于40平方米(the clinic should cover a total of more than 40 square meters )、衛(wèi)生技術(shù)人員人均面積不少于10平方米(provide at least 10 square meters per practitioner on average)、每室(含中藥存放、調(diào)劑區(qū))不少于10平方米等具體條件。
