Abstract: Objective  To improve family doctor team home-visiting service system based on Beijing family doctor team members’ opinions of the home-visiting conditions,  personnel,  procedures and other aspects.  Methods  A questionnaire survey was conducted among family doctor team members in some community hospitals in three urban areas of Beijing. Results   General practitioners,  nurses and family doctor assistants had the same cognition. In terms of home-visiting preconditions,  39.45% and 54.13% disagreed with the restriction of patients age and disease type; and 60.55% believed that only patients with severe disability or above could enjoy the home-visiting service. In terms of home-visiting staff,  65.14% of the members agreed that one doctor and one nurse should team up for home visits. In terms of visiting procedures,  43.12% members agreed with the process of “patient application,  family doctor review and evaluation,  community hospital approval of visiting”. Conclusion  It is suggested that relevant government departments should clarify the preconditions for home-visiting patients and focus on taking care of patients over 70 years old who suffer from chronic diseases and severe disabilities. The allocation of home-visiting medical staff shall be determined according to the diagnosis and treatment catalogue and procedure for home-visiting should be standardized and simplified.
