“医养结合”养老模式的必要性、困境与对策

Integrating pension service with medical service for the elderly: Necessity,dilemmas and solutions

随着我国老龄化程度的不断加剧,老年人对医疗护理的需求与日俱增,而我国养老服务和医疗服务互不衔接,走"医养结合"之路就成为中国养老模式的必然选择。目前,我国的"医养结合"养老模式存在一些问题,如资金投入不足,服务主体参与积极性不高;服务收费水平偏高,服务内容单一僵化;政府多头管理,政策扶持落实难等。针对上述问题,我国还需进一步完善"医养结合"供给主体的服务方式,依据服务客体需求设定服务内容以及健全政府管理机制。

Along with the degree of population ageing worse off continuously, the demand for medical service is growing. The current system of pension service and medical service are discrete and separate, and integrating pen- sion service with medical service is the best choice for China. However, there are some problems with the model for integrating pension service with medical service. These problems include the lack of funding, negative participation and imperfect methods of service delivery; high toll levels and single, rigid service contents; and bull management and policies hard to enforce. China should improve the service delivery model, identify service content according to the demand for service object, and improve the mechanism of government management.
