Example of open coding for community-based public health prevention and control.
| Coding | Content Representation | Conceptualization | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| SZD01 | Lack of community-based prevention and control platform planning and cross-border technical cooperation, lack of business extension and connection with community hospitals, transportation, civil affairs, communications and other platforms, lack of full data flow information for the entire process of epidemic prevention and control under population mobility. | Full data flow information missing | Data Segmentation for Information Transfer |
| SBJ02 | The allocation of prevention and control resources, such as people and property in the community and epidemic statistics, are still mainly based on inefficient manual records and manual verification, and the retention rate and update rate of the ledger are low. | Inefficient manual recording | |
| QSM01 | The construction of the information platform could not be realized in the short term. They adopted the most primitive method—huge-crowd strategy, organized a volunteer team of 100 people, divided labor and cooperated, and called 61 designated hospitals, 89 community health service centers and 549 medical institutions, collected and released the data of all medical institutions in the province every day. | Missing information platform | |
| SXA03 | Some patients are reluctant to go to the isolation point, hide at home to avoid investigation, and I often knock on the door for a long time without answering and had to look at the meter. If the meter was running, it proved that there was someone at home, and then I would knock on the door again. | Lack of deep integration and association recombination | |
| SBF04 | The 60 staff of the entire community health service center only have one set of protective clothing, which is repeatedly used with ultraviolet radiation. And who receive suspected patients who will wear it. | Lack of medical resources | Coordination Obstruction of Emergency Resources |
| ZZY01 | Within 10 days, documents were sent from the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the District Government, and the Public Security Bureau. Every day, the pressure on the grassroots level was not small. | Multiple prevention and control functions | |
| SHS05 | Due to limited inspection equipment and personnel allocation, community hospitals are faced with operational standard problems, such as sample transfer, detection and disposal, in the actual operation process, which put forward practical challenges to their own biosafety protection. | Lack of medical resources | |
| SJQ06 | The management staff of the community service center were quarantined for 14 days because they had visited confirmed cases, leaving only three social workers to carry out heavy epidemic prevention work. | Lack of grassroots investigators and protection resources | |
| SJH07 | For the first two days of the concentrated quarantine, there was no clear method of quarantine, no medical staff and no medicine, despite the presence of a quarantine site. As a result, complaints are again being snowed into the community. | Lack of grassroots investigators and protection resources | |
| SJH08 | According to government documents, coercive measures can be taken against those who are unwilling to be quarantined, but only the community police can enforce the coercive measures. The community does not have this authority and can only connect to it, but it always takes time to connect. | Task allocation system | Loose Combination of Autonomous Systems |
| QSM02 | There are abundant volunteer teams, including those from the Health commission, prevention and control headquarters, hospitals, medical equipment and disaster relief. Ultimately, he relies on the volunteers’ personal connections to get things done. However, he believes that this is not a sustainable process of operation, which completely relies on human resources to get through. | Unsustainable network resources | |
| QHB03 | Although many volunteers and social organizations have also acted quickly in the collection of protective materials, most of these actions exist in loose organizations. Seeing that there is a need on the front line, they do it in a hurry, and the progress is very fast, but it is difficult to achieve real coordination and cooperation. In the end, online support did not form a community-based investigation pattern of close cooperation with the community offline. | Loose organization | |
| SQY09 | Community hospitals do not have the most direct distribution advantage in the allocation of resources, such as manpower, capital, equipment, and materials. In emergency events, such as epidemic prevention and control, the deployment of emergency reserve materials and prevention and control personnel depends on hierarchical allocation. | Hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system faults | Mechanism Fault of Coordination and Linkage |
| QBN04 | Action-oriented public welfare organizations and professional rescue teams were left behind. For them, unable to access the disaster site, and very helpless. | Lack of volunteer assistance | |
| SWN10 | Basically, the community neighborhood committee is paralyzed, the community cannot solve the problem of seeking a doctor, and the patient can only bypass the community and go directly to the hospital. | Lack of direct reporting system of epidemic situation in grassroots communities |
According to the research paper specifications, S is used when the public health prevention and control implementation body is the community, Z is used when the implementation body is the province or city and Q is used when the implementation body is the enterprise unit, social organization, etc. The first letter of the name of the community, the place name of the province and the city and the name of the enterprise unit are used for the secondary coding and the last digit is the case number. Since the main source of the cited content of the case is the factual content in the reports of various authoritative websites, we will not specify the cited content one by one and would like to express our thanks to the cited authors.
