At present, the health management of chronic diseases in China is still in its infancy. In the face of an increasingly large group of patients with chronic diseases, large general public hospitals often lack a systematic and standardized chronic disease continuity management system. In order to solve the problem of patients’ medical difficulties, popularize the hospitals’ innovative medical services, and promote the professional development of clinical departments, taking the continuous health management model of chronic diseases constructed by West China Hospital of Sichuan University as an example, this paper introduces the background, organizational structure and service process of the system construction in turn. The purpose is to build a new health service model of “smart hospital”, and also provide a reference for the construction of standardized chronic disease management system in hospitals, which will lay a foundation for further constructing a top-down chronic disease whole process system linked with communities and hospitals in the later stage.
