Abstract:

Building an integrated health service system is a crucial topic and trend for health reform in various countries of the world. From the perspective of international comparison, this paper teases out the features and operations of 5 foreign countries' typical models of integrated health services and 5 existing models of China's health alliance. We synthetically analyze the similarities and differences between them. Finally, based on the successful experiences of 5 foreign countries' typical models of integrated health services, this paper puts forward some suggestions for China's health alliance reform and development and the future questions on integrated health services which need to study, providing some references and enlightenment for policy-makers and the follow-up studies.
