Abstract
At present, more patients suffer from multiple chronic diseases. However, the hospital's existing chronic disease management is carried out according to the department. This means that a patient needs to go to more than one department for a chronic disease treatment. Therefore, this study proposes 6 dimensions (organizational management, medical service support, medical service, community alliance, self-management support, management information system) and 36 questions, to help evaluate the current chronic disease management system in China's large third-class hospitals. In this study, 143 survey samples from doctors and nurses were collected. A principal component analysis was used to extract three key elements of chronic disease management service delivery system (service management organization, management information system, medical core service). Then, multiple regression was used to establish the relationship model between the overall performance of the system and the main elements. Three key service nodes of the system (medical specialist support, patient tracking management and personalized intervention) were determined according to the weight of the regression model. The regression coefficients of the above three main elements show a similar impact on the overall performance of the system, but the key service nodes under each major element have relative differences, including medical specialist support, patient tracking management and personalized intervention. Finally, to establish a chronic disease management system with multiple departmental continuous care for chronic diseases, it is necessary to improve the chronic disease management system from three aspects of medical specialty support, patient tracking management and personalized intervention. This paper proposes corresponding improvement strategies.Entities:

Figure 1Schematic representation of chronic disease management in large hospitals. The arrows represent how patients with multiple diseases are transferred to different departments. Coordinated treatment by multiple departments: The arrows from the 3 department to the chronic disease management system indicate: after treatment, each department will input the patient's treatment into the chronic disease management system; The arrows from the 3 department to the patient's normal life indicate that the patient is discharged from hospital; The bidirectional arrow from chronic disease management system to patients' normal life indicates that patients input their daily physical conditions into the system, and the system feedback corresponding services according to patients' conditions.

Figure 3Concept diagram of chronic disease patient management system. For the whole chronic disease management delivery system, the patients input their physical status (such as blood pressure, blood sugar, etc.) into the management information system every day. According to the patient's physical data, the management information system determines whether a doctor is needed to intervene in the diagnosis and treatment. If not, it means that the patient's condition is in a normal level and can be self-managed. If a physician intervention is needed, the patient's treatment plan will need to be re-customized, such as whether to be hospitalized, changing the dosage of drugs, and improving the diet.
