T18 0-779 Sentence denotes A large amount of recently published literature has shown the effectiveness of a number of interventions, such as lockdowns and limits on transportation, which were implemented to stop the spread of COVID-19 in China.1,2 There have been calls to further promote such measures due to their ability to effectively reduce the speed of COVID-19 transmission worldwide.3 Since assistance could also effectively control the transmission of infectious diseases4 and alleviate overload on the healthcare system in Hubei Province, the Chinese government implemented the “national multidisciplinary healthcare assistance” initiative5 by coordinating medical, healthcare management, disease control, and other professionals from 19 provinces to support 16 cities in Hubei (excluding Wuhan).
T19 780-1115 Sentence denotes The national multidisciplinary healthcare assistance is a Chinese policy to coordinate inter-regional, inter-industrial, and inter-departmental cooperation at a national level, combining financial disclosure, business disclosure, and scientific evaluation mechanisms to achieve effective prevention and control of the current epidemic.
T20 1116-1346 Sentence denotes We adopted the difference-in-difference method to investigate whether the national multidisciplinary healthcare assistance policy could provide significant benefits in areas affected by COVID-19 by increasing their recovery rates.
T21 1347-1590 Sentence denotes The approach has been proven to be effective in evaluating policy implementation.6 We selected 11 cities as intervention group, including Huangshi, Xiangyang, Shiyan, Jingzhou, Yichang, Jingmen, Ezhou, Xiaogan, Huanggang, Xianning and Suizhou.
T22 1591-1734 Sentence denotes The Enshi autonomous prefecture, Xiantao, Qianjiang, Tianmen and Shennongjia forest were excluded due to their different administrative levels.
T23 1735-2001 Sentence denotes Xinyang (from Henan Province), Xinyu and Jiujiang (from Jiangxi Province), and Changde, Yueyang, and Shaoyang (from Hunan Province) were included as a control group due to their similar demographics and social development status with the selected 11 cities in Hubei.
T24 2002-2394 Sentence denotes A total of 578 panel data samples from January 23 to February 25, 2020 were analyzed in the SPSS 25.0, which were collected from the official website of the Ministry of Health in China7 and the Chinese Statistical Yearbook.8 In our analysis, we included policy implementation, whether it was in the intervention group, and the interaction between these two variables as independent variables.
T25 2395-2572 Sentence denotes The number of recovered cases per day was included as a dependent variable, and health resources, GDP per capita, resident population, and land area were included as covariates.
T26 2573-2751 Sentence denotes Since the regression coefficient for the cases recovered on whether they were in the intervention group was not significant (β=−0.12, p =0.16), the investigation was implemented.
T27 2752-2901 Sentence denotes Based on our findings, no significant difference in the development trend of the recovered cases before the policy was implemented (β=0.72, p =0.10).
T28 2902-3145 Sentence denotes The number of recovered cases per day was significantly negatively correlated with GDP per capita (β = −1.13, p <0.05), land area (β = −9.30, p <0.001), and significantly positively correlated with the resident population (β = 0.07, p <0.001).
T29 3146-3338 Sentence denotes After controlling for the impact of the above variables, the number of recovered cases per day increased by 39.36 as a result of the national multidisciplinary healthcare assistance (Table 1).
T30 3339-3435 Sentence denotes The number 39.36 is the sum of the regression coefficient of policy implementation and DID term.
T31 3436-3618 Sentence denotes Therefore, the national multidisciplinary healthcare assistance possibly contributed to reduce the burden of COVID-19, and eased pressure on the healthcare system in Hubei and China.
T32 3619-3763 Sentence denotes Table 1 The Impact of “National Multidisciplinary Healthcare Assistance” on the Number of Recovered Cases per Day (Mixed OLS Regression Results)

T42 4276-4302 Sentence denotes Note: *p<0.05, ***p<0.001.
T43 4303-4513 Sentence denotes Abbreviations: DID, the interaction item between policy implementation and whether it is an intervention group; SD, standard deviation; β, unstandardized regression coefficient; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
T44 4514-4703 Sentence denotes To effectively combat the current global public health crisis and reduce the risk of overloading our healthcare systems in the future, we recommend the following points for policies-makers.
T45 4704-4888 Sentence denotes First, National governments need to take control of overall planning and rational distribution of medical resources at a national level to substitute volunteers for future emergencies.
T46 4889-5130 Sentence denotes This will be based on the level of economic and social development, geographic location, severity of the epidemic, and other factors affecting local governments, so as to enhance their ability to improve outcomes in the worst-affected areas.
T47 5131-5396 Sentence denotes Second, a holistic governance model should be constructed to promote information disclosure, public understanding, resource complementarity, and risk-sharing among stakeholders, in order to ensure the proper implementation of public health policies for such crises.
T48 5397-5847 Sentence denotes For instance, (1) China’s national medical teams provided long-distance multidisciplinary consultation services to Hubei Province through online platforms; (2) the national health commission of China released multiple versions of plans for the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 based on the latest clinical experience of various regions of China; and (3) community workers and volunteers in Hubei Province fully supported the work of medical teams.
T49 5848-6101 Sentence denotes Third, to quickly formulate and promulgate effective response policies for emergent public health crises, the national government should introduce the concept of emergency management into policy agendas and highlight the importance of “problem streams”.
