Treating the Infected in Dedicated Facilities by Senior Medical Professionals from All Over the Country and with All Necessary Resources
The meeting held on January 25 by the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee laid down a guiding principle of "treating the infected in dedicated facilities by senior medical professionals from all over the country and with all necessary resources." Severe cases must be gathered into designated medical institutions with strong treatment capabilities, and all confirmed cases must be received by hospitals without delay.
Gathering the patients for medical treatment is an important means to prevent the spread of the epidemic and to provide effective treatment to confirmed cases. With the infected people being received in dedicated facilities, medical observation and treatment can be carried out at the same time, which can highly facilitate the allocation of resources. Also, patients can get treatment as early as possible, thus reducing the possibility of deterioration. Plus, gathering the patients together can prevent cross-infection among healthy people.
Following this guiding principle made by the CPC Central Committee, Hubei has gathered the four groups of people: confirmed cases, suspected cases, febrile patients and close contacts. This has made it possible to accurately learn of the number of confirmed cases, suspected cases, symptomatic cases in fever clinics, and symptomatic cases in close contacts. It is also possible to get accurate information about the number of beds available, occupied or vacant in relevant hospitals, isolation centers and temporary treatment centers.
Assembling medical experts and concentrating all necessary resources are important measures to deal with the epidemic. Medical materials from all over the country have been collected to help Wuhan treat severe cases, and new medical institutions in the city that are designated to receive severe patients have been taken over wholly by appointed medical teams. On this basis, an array of working mechanisms such as academician visits, multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment and holistic nursing have been established, ensuring that severe cases can receive science-based treatment.
集中患者、集中专家、集中资源、集中救治
2020年1月25日，中共中央政治局常委会专题会议强调，要按照“集中患者、集中专家、集中资源、集中救治”的原则，将重症病例集中到综合力量强的定点医疗机构进行救治，同时及时收治所有确诊病人。
集中患者、集中救治，是防控疫情扩散和对确诊患者有效治疗的重要手段。集中患者既可以同步进行医学观察和治疗，方便资源调配，尽早治疗，避免轻症拖成重症，还可以防止正常人群的交叉感染。湖北响应中央要求，对“四类人员”集中收治，精准掌握确诊患者数、疑似患者数、发热门诊有症状患者数、密切接触人员中有症状患者数，以及各医院、隔离点、方舱可用床位数、已用床位数、剩余床位数等，确保动态数据准确无误。
集中专家、集中资源，是应对疫情的重要措施。中央通过从全国调集医疗资源支援武汉重症患者医疗救治，整建制接管新的重症患者收治病区等措施手段，以及在此基础上建立院士巡诊、多学科综合治疗、整体护理等一系列制度，确保重症患者科学救治。
