First Conference on General Practice Innovation and Development to Launch: Advancing High-Quality Growth through Digital Transformation

Vigorously developing the general practice medicine industry is an important measure for China to address population aging and meet the growing health needs of the people. Further promoting the high-quality development of the general practice medicine industry urgently requires the support of innovative technological power.

With the rapid development of informatization and Internet technology both in China and abroad, as well as the promotion and application of artificial intelligence in the medical and health field, grassroots medical and health institutions in China have made significant progress in management and application, also bringing innovative vitality to the development of the general practice industry.

In order to promote the cooperation of general practice medicine and digital innovation industry ecosystem, and to facilitate the exchange and interconnection of experiences at home and abroad, under the guidance of the Beijing Municipal Health Commission, the Beijing Community Health Association, in collaboration with the Continuing Medical Education Committee of the Chinese Community Health Association, the General Practitioner Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the School of General Practice Medicine and Continuing Education of Capital Medical University, and the Chinese Journal of General Practitioners, will grandly launch the First "General Practice Medicine Innovation and Development Conference (Beijing)" (hereinafter referred to as: the Conference) on December 16, 2023, with cooperation support from enterprises such as AstraZeneca.

This conference, themed "Gathering All Fields of Innovative Elements to Advance High-Quality Development in General Practice," is committed to creating a high-dimensional, high-level, and highly efficient interactive platform. It shares innovative practical experiences from both within China and abroad in the fields of primary healthcare and general practice, covering all areas and multiple elements. The event aims to promote international exchange and cooperation, driving management innovation and intelligent development in China's grassroots medical institutions.

This is the first-ever National Conference on Innovative Development in General Practice, a highly prestigious academic feast co-built for professionals in the general practice industry. Focusing on innovative practices and reflections regarding the empowerment of grassroots medical management systems through digital technologies both domestically and internationally, the conference highlights three major features:

To gain multi-dimensional industry insights, this conference featured one main venue and four sub-venues, with a highly diverse agenda that included keynote presentations, academic discussions, experience sharing, and interactive exchanges.

At that time, the conference will also invite numerous industry benchmark enterprises, industry associations, and community health service institution personnel to participate in high-end dialogues, sharing their innovative practices in grassroots chronic disease management.

In addition, multiple grassroots innovation incubation systems and collaboration projects will be launched during the conference. Through diverse meeting formats and content sharing, innovative solutions will be introduced, industry interaction will be promoted, and medical-enterprise collaboration will be strengthened. Together, we will explore how to advance innovative practices in general medicine in China and inject new momentum into the high-quality development of general medicine in China.
