A "Three-in-One" model of family doctor contract service was proposed in July 2014 and then implemented in Xiamen. In this model the health service was provided to contracted residents by a team consisted of specialists from tertiary hospitals, general practitioners and health manager in community health service centers. After the implementation of the model, the proportion of visiting in primary care institutions among the residents surpassed that in hospital visiting, appearing a inflection point. The satisfaction of the residents increased significantly, meanwhile the income of primary care medical staff increased substantially and the position of primary care seemed to be more attractive. The "Three-in-One" service model of Xiamen may provide valuable experiences for implementation of family doctor contract service and hierarchichal medical service system in other areas of China.
