Through reviewing the implementation of outpatient appointment services around the whole country, the problems of current outpatient appointment services were analyzed, which included imperfect information platform, low rate of medical experts’ visit on schedule, high rate of breaking the appointment by outpatients, and the new inequity caused by opaque information on the outpatient appointment service. The strategies were put forward to address the problems, including the integration of different social resources, cooperation and sharing, enhancing supervision to increase experts’ visit rate, establishing a new model for outpatient appointment service to decrease the breaking of appointment, and opening information to ensure the fair and impartial appointment.
