In order to continuously improve the diagnosis and treatment of specialized diseases and research capabilities, strengthen the standardized use and promotion of new technologies, promote the coordinated development of clinical research, condense the key links of department operation and management, and improve the level of specialty management, on December 15, the Municipal Hospital Orthopedic Specialty Alliance was established in the sixth hospital of the city. As one of the first 17 "Clinical Capacity Promotion and Enhancement Specialty Alliances" (hereinafter referred to as the "Specialty Alliances") established by the Development Center of Shanghai Shenkang Hospital, the Orthopedic Specialty Alliance is composed of 17 municipal hospitals, and the Six Municipal Hospitals are the lead units of the Alliance.
At the inaugural meeting, the leaders of the orthopedics department from various alliance units had a full discussion on the working mechanism between the alliances, the daily work content of the alliance, and how to expand the connotation construction of the alliance. Experts generally mentioned that under the premise of gradually improving the diagnosis and treatment norms of specialized diseases, we should explore how to summarize and improve the diagnosis and treatment norms formed by the specialty alliance, rewrite the guidelines or improve the professionalism and evidence-based medicine level of the existing guidelines. At the same time, it is necessary to establish a scientific, reasonable and highly operable new technology evaluation index and clinical application management model to promote the benign and sustainable development of orthopedic specialties.
As far as the current situation of discipline professional development is concerned, Professor Zhang Changqing, the leader of the Department of Orthopedics of the Sixth Municipal Hospital, said that in the case of diseases such as intervertebral disc herniation, although there has been a lot of clinical data accumulation, there are shortcomings in the level of connotation and the degree of standardization reflected in it. The significance of the establishment of the Orthopedic Specialist Alliance is to let clinical experts gradually solve the problems in the development of these specialties and the irregularities in clinical treatment through the specialist alliance. "On the other hand, in the process of promoting the application of new technologies, how to accurately grasp the indications for surgery and how to judge whether doctors have the ability to operate is also a problem that our alliance should think about solving."
It is reported that the establishment of the specialty alliance aims to build a collaborative innovation system, strengthen research, exchanges and cooperation, promote the collaborative development of clinical research in municipal hospitals, and continue to promote the research and landing of new technologies, new programs and new strategies for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of key diseases in this specialty through active exploration and independent innovation in the fields of medicine, teaching and research.
In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Development Center of Shenkang Hospital expressed the hope that through joint research, mutual exchanges and multi-party cooperation, the "specialty alliance" platform of municipal hospitals will be built. Through the construction of the connotation of specialties and special diseases, we will promote the sustainable development of specialties, maintain the leading position of Shanghai municipal hospitals, and form an influential Shanghai program or expert consensus.
