Practice and exploration of strengthened management of three-level maternal and child health service network in Songzi,Hubei

This paper introduces the exploration and innovation of the linkage management model of three-level maternal and child health(MCH) service network in Songzi MCH Hospital of Hubei Province. By consolidating three-level network and linkage to implement household services, aims to promote active village and household onsite services, comprehensive coverage, normalization and standardized operation of MCH services. MCH service network with unique Songzi characteristics combining health care and clinical development has been formed, and a two-way referral service model has been established to provide systematic and standardized MCH services for women and children. But problems still exist in terms of team capability shortage being unable to fulfill practical work needs, information network being inadequate, performance leverage being inefficient, lacking of financial support and human resources to ensure sustainable implementation of three-level MCH service network. It is suggested to focus on ensuring allocation of resources,accelerating information construction, strengthening performance leverage, consolidating the achievements of three-level service network management, and innovating the regional service model, in order to promote the development of management of three-level MCH service network.
