It aims to help improve patient care in a city setting in China. However the process of implementing a successful program could be fraught with difficulties. This study will look at these issues and help stakeholders get to know each other better to enhance the sustainability of the project.The main issue in China is the scarcity of specialists. Therefore, patients must wait long for appointments with specialists. Inadequate training for general practitioners can mean that patients are not able to get treatment. Parents of ADHD children are usually skeptical of their GPs at basic-level hospitals. Therefore, they actively seek the help of specialists in hospitals of third level.A lack of confidence is a major obstacle in ADHD management, as most doctors do not believe they are competent in diagnosing and treating this condition. This is due to their lack of prescribing experience or lack of experience.The present study was designed to assess the challenges that come with the implementation of the ADHD Shared Care Pathways program in the Beijing context. Seven health care providers were interviewed. Each health professional was asked their perspective on ADHD medication, as well in the reasons why he they didn't prescribe. Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research Researchers came up with nine interview questions. They translated them into Chinese and used for the focus groups.The majority of respondents stated that the lack of training of GPs was a major reason in the delay in access to treatment. Secondary care is not equipped to properly monitor patients. Some GPs were reluctantly accepting shared care.According to stakeholders, the main problem to a successful program was the absence of support from hospital officials. While the process of shifting responsibility for prescribing is easy to predict, it is only able to occur when the patient's medical condition is fairly predictable. The absence of a referral procedure can increase the number of specialists.Then, the Chinese participants felt that the users of the service would be involved in the evaluation of the program when the referral system was put in place. Considering that this was a relatively early stage, the number of participants was small.
