1. Background

The quality and safety of medical care is directly related to the people's sense of gain, and is an important guarantee for people's health and the cornerstone of the development of health undertakings. Continuously improving medical quality and ensuring medical safety is the basic and core work to implement the strategic deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council and promote the construction of a healthy China. To this end, the National Health Commission and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine have carried out activities that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and have remarkable effects, such as the Hospital Management Year, the Medical Quality Journey, the "Three Good and One Satisfaction", the Action to Improve Medical Services, and the "Convenient to See Chinese Medicine, Use Chinese Medicine with Confidence, and Benefit the People with Good Chinese Medicine", which have played an important role in ensuring the quality and safety of medical care and safeguarding the health rights and interests of the people.

In recent years, as China has entered a new stage of development and the in-depth implementation of the Healthy China strategy, the quality of life of the people has been continuously improved, the health awareness has been continuously improved, and there are higher expectations and requirements for the quality of medical services. At the same time, there are still some weak links in the field of medical quality and safety, some system requirements have not been fully implemented, basic quality and safety need to be further consolidated, and the understanding and implementation of new development concepts and methods need to be strengthened. This requires us to formulate this action plan on the basis of our previous work, in accordance with the principle of inheritance and development, adhere to the system concept and integrity and innovation, base ourselves on the new stage of development, and closely follow the new situation and new tasks of high-quality development of public hospitals.
