我国医院老年医学科建设存在问题及对策分析

Analysis of problems and countermeasures in the construction of geriatric department in hospitals of China

发展老年医学科是应对人口老龄化的一项重要举措。近年来,我国医院老年医学科建设取得一定进展,但在老龄化快速推进的背景下,仍存在较大提升空间。目前,我国医院老年医学科主要面临院内重视程度不高、老年医学专业人才短缺、支付制度不完善、绩效考核指标不适用以及社会认知度不高等方面的问题和困境。本研究建议应进一步加强医院老年医学科建设、加快老年医学人才队伍建设、推动老年医学服务支付方式改革、优化老年医学科绩效评价方式以及提升老年医学科的社会认同感,为推动我国医院老年医学科的可持续高质量发展提供借鉴。

Developing geriatric department is an important measure to address the aging population.In recent years,there had been some progress in the construction of geriatric departments in hospitals of China,but there was still significant room for improvement in the context of rapid aging.At present,the geriatric departments in hospitals were mainly facing problems and difficulties such as low attention within the hospital,shortage of geriatric medical professionals,imperfect payment systems,inapplicable performance evaluation indicators,and low social awareness.This study suggested that we should further strengthen the construction of geriatric departments in hospitals,accelerate the construction of geriatric medicine talent teams,promote the reform of payment methods related to geriatric medicine services,optimize the performance evaluation methods of geriatric medicine departments,and enhance the social identity of geriatric medicine departments,so as to provide references for promoting the sustainable and high-quality development of geriatric medicine departments in hospitals of China.
