Under the background of Health China strategy， medical and health services have changed from disease?centered to health?centered， and the evaluation method of health service effect is particularly important. It was difficult to evaluate the effect of health services comprehensively by traditional service evaluation methods.

It also introduced the origin and development of GAS， and expounded the research status of GAS at home and abroad， including the application fields of GAS， such as patient level assessment， project effect assessment， acupuncture field of traditional Chinese medicine， etc. In the application of GAS， the main points to be paid attention to were the setting of discrimination index， determine the weight value in line with the patient’s own situationand the measurement of evaluation value. On this basis， the prospect of GAS in health service evaluation was put forward to promote the development of GAS.
