摘要：
The primary healthcare system in Hong Kong plays a crucial role in addressing the healthcare needs of its population. However, the integration of radiology services into primary care settings has not been fully realized, and there is significant potential for improvement. Incorporating radiology services into primary healthcare can enhance patient care, promote cost-effectiveness, and increase the overall efficiency of the healthcare system by enabling earlier diagnosis and intervention for various health conditions. To successfully integrate radiology services, key strategies include the establishment of public-private partnerships, the adoption of teleradiology and telemedicine services, the development of comprehensive regulatory and policy frameworks, and the exploration of innovative financial models and incentives. By embracing these strategies, Hong Kong can optimize its primary healthcare system and ensure more equitable, effective care for its population.
