Abstract: Objective To understand the integrated case management model “diagnosis and treatment in hospital, management in community”, a survey on the knowledge of chronic hepatitis B and the integrated case management model was carried out. Methods According to the knowledge of chronic hepatitis B and
the information about the integrated case management model, we designed a questionnaire. From October 2009 to October 2011, total of 1019 patients with chronic hepatitis B from 40 communities of Chaoyang District in Beijing were surveyed with self-designed questionnaire. Results Total of 1019 questionnaires were issued and 994 questionnaires were recovered. The findings showed that the patients knew little about chronic hepatitis B. Just 22.94% of all patients were willing to go to community hospitals at the beginning. If the integrated case management model would be implemented, about 76.86% of all patients would like to accept. Conclusions The integrated case management model “diagnosis and treatment in hospital, management in community” is acceptable by patients with chronic hepatitis B.
