Improve Fine Detection methods for genetic diseases, reducing violations Operation the space
Recently, the case of several psychiatric hospitals in Xiangyang and Yichang, Hubei Province, fraudulently obtaining medical insurance funds has drawn widespread attention from governments at all levels and people from all walks of life. and quickly become a hot news story, attracting Heated discussion. The reasons behind this issue are multifaceted. But it cannot be overlooked. The core issue is that hospitals and doctors have opportunities to commit fraud—and this kind of fraud can happen easily. Implementation One of the reasons, Yes The current diagnostic criteria for mental disorders rely on questionnaire-based scoring methods. Let Counterfeiting There is A golden opportunity. According to reports, the existing Expert Clear It is pointed out that the treatment process for mental disorders often involves a variety of methods, such as extensive scale assessments, psychological interventions, and behavioral training. Unlike surgical procedures or imaging examinations, these treatments lack clear, instrument-based records. In other words, the questionnaire-based scoring methods currently widely used are highly subjective and can easily create opportunities for falsification.

Currently, commonly used evaluation forms typically fall into two categories. Self-rated scales are easily influenced by the patient’s level of education, comprehension ability, and degree of cooperation. Although observer-rated scales are administered by professional physicians, they still rely on the physicians’ subjective judgments, have low resolution, are difficult to quantify, and are prone to errors. The psychiatric hospitals currently emerging... To deceive Take Medical insurance incident, Correct Instructions Questionnaire Evaluation The scoring method has prominent shortcomings: First, it is highly subjective, relying on physicians’ subjective assessments and patients’ self-reported accounts without any objective physiological indicators to support the scores, resulting in significant flexibility in scoring. Second, falsification is simple and low-cost—requiring neither specialized equipment nor genuine medical conditions, allowing for arbitrary manipulation of scores and fabrication of records. Third, there is a lack of traceable, verifiable objective data, leaving regulators with no effective means of oversight and making it difficult to detect fraudulent diagnostic practices, which could potentially lead to violations such as medical insurance fraud.

In current clinical practice, while scales are still used as part of the diagnostic process, there is an urgent need to increase the detection of biomarkers in humans, generating objective, digitized information that enables more scientific and precise diagnoses of mental disorders. Current research findings indicate that... Mental health conditions With certain substances in the human body The metabolites show a positive correlation. ； Metabolic analysis in human urine can be employed. of the Biomarker Contains quantity to determine the onset and severity of mental disorders. 。 Use inspection Method To conclude of the Data, for digitally quantifying and assessing diseases, Possible Provide a basis for doctors to make diagnoses and determine subsequent treatment. Adopt this The method of inspection, Okay. Retain data, Possible Reduce the falsification of psychiatric diagnoses And misjudgment The possibility of. This detection method has already begun to be applied in clinical practice abroad. We recommend that the new technology for the detection and diagnosis of mental disorders be implemented as soon as possible in China, thereby enhancing the precision of diagnosis and treatment and improving the controllability of management.

Compared with the traditional questionnaire-based scoring method, diagnosing using human metabolite biomarker detection offers significant advantages: This method determines the occurrence and progression of mental disorders by quantifying the levels of human metabolite biomarkers, providing digital and standardized data that are entirely free from subjective biases. The collected data can be stored long-term and reviewed across different institutions, making them highly resistant to tampering or falsification and thus effectively reducing opportunities for fraud at the source. Moreover, since metabolite levels correlate positively with disease severity, this approach provides a scientifically sound basis for precise diagnosis and treatment, balancing clinical effectiveness with regulatory requirements.

To reduce the likelihood of fraudulent diagnoses of mental disorders, it is recommended that relevant authorities accelerate the refinement and optimization of diagnostic methods and standards for mental illnesses, and gradually adopt and promote the use of biomarker detection based on human metabolites as a diagnostic criterion. Taking objective measurement data as the key, we should strengthen regulatory oversight in the field of mental health care, standardize hospital clinical practices, and promote the healthy and orderly development of the mental health care industry.
