Objective: To analyze the application effect of regional family doctor contract service based on Internet platform in the management of hypertension patients in community hospitals. Methods: Since June 2017, the Yetang Health Center has established a model of family doctors
contracted chronic disease management based on the Internet platform under the guidance of the General Medical Department of the First People’s Hospital of Changshu City. The Internet platform for patient management was developed, and a regional data sharing center for hypertensive patients
was established. The combination with the family doctor contract model enabled the effective management of hypertensive patients. In the 12 months before the model was implemented, 525 patients with hypertension were selected, and 2173 patients with hypertension after 12 months of implementation
were included in the control group and the observation group. The differences in treatment compliance, selfmanagement rate and other indicators between the two groups were compared to analyze the application effect of the model. Results: Compliance, compliance rate, self-management
rate and awareness rate of hypertensionrelated knowledge in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The total management cost, unit management cost and standard management cost of hypertension
patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group. The satisfaction rate of hypertension management in the observation group was 96.87% (2105/2173), which was higher than 63.05% (331/525) in the control group (P < 0.05). The awareness rate of diagnostic
criteria, risk factors, hazards and treatment methods of hypertension in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The regional family doctor contract service based on Internet
platform can significantly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of community hospital management of hypertension patients, and it is also an effective way to reduce management costs and ensure patient satisfaction, which is worth further optimization and promotion.
