Abstract

Abstract: Recently，COVID-19 has spread throughout China with new cases increasing abroad.Family physicians，a major provider of community medical services as well as the gatekeeper of residents' health，also play a vital role in the control and prevention of COVID-19.As their duties and working mechanism in combating COVID-19 are not completely clear yet，we tried to develop a sound working mechanism by comprehensively discussing and summarizing the deployment and role of family physicians in combating the epidemic，hoping to give full play of their role in doing the work based on maintaining sound physical and mental health with scientific self-protection，such as collaboratively identifying the suspected cases by screening the priority groups，standardizedly managing the isolated observational cases while managing contracted residents，and delivering individualized health education of COVID-19，by strengthening administrative management，clearing their duties，formulating a working procedure，strengthening the training before combating the epidemic，and caring for their physical and mental health.

Key words: COVID-19, Home care services, Family physician, Prevention and control

摘要： 当前新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情在全国持续蔓延，国外病例数也在不断增加。家庭医生作为基层社区医疗服务的主体及居民健康的守门人，在新型冠状病毒肺炎的防控中起着至关重要的作用。但家庭医生在疫情防控工作中承担的工作职能和工作机制尚未形成完善的体系。本研究就如何充分发挥家庭医生在新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情防控工作中的作用进行深入探讨，以期形成较为完善的工作机制。本文总结了在新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情防控中家庭医生的职能和部署，通过强化组织管理、制定工作制度和流程、加强家庭医生疫情防控岗前培训、明确家庭医生工作职能、关心关爱家庭医生身心健康等措施，使家庭医生在科学防护、保持身心健康的基础上开展重点人群的协助排摸、隔离观察人员的规范管理和服务、其他签约居民的服务管理、个体化健康教育等工作，充分发挥家庭医生在新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情防控中的作用。
