The reaching standard rates that the clinicist received TCM training higher than 50% were 2. 1% , 4. 1% , 1. 5%( P = 0. 158).(2) The reaching standard rates that the TCM department was independently set were 70. 5% , 32. 9% , 51. 5%( P < 0. 001).(3) The reaching standard rates that the TCM pharmacy was independently set were 94. 7%, 79. 5%, 81. 8%( P = 0. 008).(4) The reaching standard rates that prepared slices of Chinese crude drugs higher than 250 kinds were 75. 8%, 52. 1%, 47. 0%( P < 0. 001), and the rates that Chinese patent drugs higher than 50 kinds were 88. 4%, 56. 2%, 65. 2%( P < 0. 001).(5) The reaching standard rates that utilized TCM to prevent communicable disease were 77. 9%, 68. 5%, 62. 1%( P = 0. 088), the rates that used combination of TCM and western medicine to treat more than 2 kinds of chronic disease were 86. 3%, 74. 0%, 63. 6%( P =0. 004), the rates that the TCM health records were set reached 83. 2%, 65. 8%, 66. 7%, the rates that utilized the TCM therapies more than 4 kinds were 97. 9%, 83. 6%, 75. 8%( P < 0. 001).( 6) The reaching standard rates of TCM health care were 84. 2% , 72. 6% , 60. 6%( P = 0. 003), the rates of TCM rehabilitation were 94. 7%, 87. 7%, 69. 7%( P < 0. 001), the rates of TCM health education were 90. 5%, 82. 2%, 71. 2%( P = 0. 007),the rates of TCM technique service of family planning were 74. 4%, 49. 3% , 54. 5%( P = 0. 002). ( 7) In CHCs in big, middle, small cities in Hubei, the reaching standard rates of TCM human resources were 2. 1%, 0. 0%, 0. 0%; the rates of TCM agency configuration were 66. 3%, 24. 7%, 39. 4%; the rates of Chinese medicine allocation were 66. 3%, 42. 5%, 37. 9%; the rates of application of TCM in“Six in One” were 55. 8% , 23. 3% , 25. 8%( P < 0. 001); the comprehensive reaching standard rates were 2. 1% , 0. 0% , 0. 0%( P < 0. 001). Conclusion The human resources allocations in CHCs in small cities in Hubei are higher than those in big and middle cities, other CHCs resources in big cities are higher than those in middle and small cities, the reaching standard rates of TCM in CHCs in big cities are the highest and in small cities are the lowest.
