To enhance the emergency response capabilities of medical institutions and community public health, and strengthen the efficiency in handling major sudden infectious disease events.

METHODS Relying on community grid management and under the integration of medical treatment and disease prevention, a multi-level medical service system was established, funding guarantees were implemented, and software and hardware supports were strengthened by emphasizing infection control training and introducing modern technological means like artificial intelligence. In addition, stratified screening for infectious diseases among different populations was carried out in an orderly manner.

RESULTS The grid management model for infectious diseases based on the integration of medical treatment and disease prevention in Suzhou was preliminarily formed and applied to the screening and treatment of COVID-19 and hepatitis C. The epidemic prevention teams, jointly established by medical institutions and community-based medical and preventive organizations, were critical for emergency response to major sudden infectious diseases and became a key component of epidemic prevention and control.

CONCLUSION The grid management strategy for infectious diseases based on the integration of medical treatment and disease prevention in Suzhou demonstrates certain reference value in enhancing emergency response capabilities and efficiency for major sudden infectious diseases, as well as in the field of disease prevention and control.
