The formulation of treatment plans adheres to the principle of "prioritizing TCM, using Western medicine only when necessary," with a scientific and realistic attitude. For some stages of a few diseases, effective Western medicine treatments are adopted. According to the relevant notices of the Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau, TCM hospitals at all levels in Shanghai and comprehensive TCM departments should, as a rule, follow this "Routine" for diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice.
