Abstract

Based on literature research, we selected a total of 17 typical organizations from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai to investigate, including community health service centers, enterprises, health insurance companies, and health management service companies. The results of this study indicate that China has some problems in current health management, for example, community health service centers lack sufficient capacity in terms of personnel allocation and service content to carry out health management services; foreign-funded enterprises and large state-owned enterprises have carried out health management services with good results, but small- and medium-sized enterprises in China lack the independent ability to carry out health management services for their staff; health insurance companies are reluctant to carry out health insurance services because of the deficiency in profit models, while health management is often provided for high-end customers as an additional option; and health management service companies do not provide real health management services, but only physical examinations. Based on these problems in this study, we put forward a total of eight related policy recommendations and some countermeasures.
