Si Dongmei, president of the Third Love Nursing Home in Beilin District, Xi'an City, inspects the nursing situation of the elderly.
With the intensification of the aging of the population, the problem of old-age care has attracted more and more attention from all walks of life, and has become one of the social problems that need to be solved urgently. After people are old, the body often appears a variety of diseases, need to often travel between hospitals, families, rehabilitation institutions, not only time-consuming and laborious, but also will cause a great burden of life, affecting the daily life of the elderly. In this regard, China has continuously expanded the coverage of basic old-age care and basic medical security, formed a home-based, community-based, institutional supplementary, medical and nursing care combination of old-age service system, the construction of a livable environment for the elderly continues to advance, and the social atmosphere of respecting the elderly and helping the elderly is becoming increasingly strong.
Recently, in order to implement the overall deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council to actively respond to the aging of the population and promote the establishment and improvement of the elderly health service system, according to the "Guiding Opinions on Establishing and Improving the Elderly Health Service System" jointly issued by the National Health Commission and other 8 departments, the Shaanxi Provincial Health Commission and other 8 departments jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Establishing and Improving the Elderly Health Service System in Shaanxi Province", vigorously developing the cause of elderly health, comprehensively promoting the elderly health promotion action, and striving to improve the health level of the elderly. Achieve healthy aging.
Build a new model for the elderly
As the country with the largest elderly population in the world, China's traditional pension model is already "overloaded". How to let the elderly live a healthy and happy old age is a difficult task for the whole society.
After the fracture surgery of Aunt Wang, who lives in Weiyang District of Xi'an City, her daughter did not trust that she was at home alone, but it was not appropriate for her to go to a nursing home and go to the hospital. "Fortunately, the community has a community comprehensive service center for the elderly, which is convenient for nearby rehabilitation and care, and familiar friends can talk and communicate, and the elderly's body recovers quickly." Aunt Wang's daughter told reporters.
The docking of pension institutions and community medical care allows the elderly to fully enjoy intimate services, spend their old age in a healthy and happy way, and also make the citizens have a greater sense of belonging. Surveys show that 90% of the elderly tend to choose home care. At present, China is focusing on the development of community-based, home-based diversified old-age services, while promoting the combination of medical and nursing care, carrying out pilot long-term care insurance systems, and gradually walking out of a path of old-age care that meets national conditions.
From the introduction of programmatic documents to promote the development of the old-age service industry, so that the top-level design of the development of the aging cause is more complete, to the basic establishment of a "Chinese-style" old-age service system based on home, supported by the community, supplemented by institutions, and combined with medical care, China's response to aging is positive and steady.
Shaanxi Province takes the protection of the health rights and interests of the elderly as the center, takes the principle of full service, fair accessibility, stimulating vitality, and co-construction and sharing as the principle, and meets the health service needs of the elderly as the guide, and gradually establishes a comprehensive and continuous elderly health service system covering urban and rural areas with health education, preventive health care, disease diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation nursing, long-term care and palliative care as the main content.
It is understood that it is expected that by 2022, the proportion of geriatric departments set up in second-level and above general hospitals in Shaanxi Province will not be less than 50%, the proportion of rehabilitation departments set up in tertiary traditional Chinese medicine hospitals will reach 85%, and more than 80% of comprehensive hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, nursing homes and grass-roots medical and health institutions will become age-friendly medical and health institutions; the proportion of nursing beds in grass-roots medical and health institutions will reach 30%, and the proportion of nursing beds in elderly care institutions will reach 50%. All pension institutions can provide different forms of medical and health services for the elderly, and all medical institutions have set up green channels for the elderly to register and seek medical treatment; the relevant systems, standards and norms for the elderly health have been basically established, the number of elderly health service institutions has increased significantly, the service content has been more abundant, the service quality has been significantly improved, the service team has grown, the service resource allocation has become more reasonable, and the health service needs of the elderly will be basically met.
Smart products to achieve home care
At present, it is increasingly difficult for traditional pension methods to meet the needs of social development and the masses. The advent of the "Internet +" era has injected new vitality into the pension industry, and the "pension service" robot market has gradually become huge. With the passage of time, for these smart products, the elderly have changed their concepts from distrust at the beginning, began to interact with the "pension service" robot, and felt the convenience brought by technology.
"At the beginning, everyone's acceptance was not high, but after trying out basic services such as family doctors and pension secretaries of smart pension robots, the feedback from the elderly was good." Zhang Ting, deputy general manager of Ruiquan Pension Service Co., Ltd., told reporters.
The smart pension robot mentioned by Zhang Ting is an intelligent exclusive robot for the elderly jointly created by Shaanxi Ruiquan Beidou Technology Co., Ltd. and Baidu Qiangqiang, with 32 software copyrights, and is committed to creating a smart home care life for the elderly.
Pension secretaries can establish exclusive health files for the elderly, family doctors can provide health management for the elderly, pension classrooms can provide a variety of pension service information, and entertainment functions enrich the lives of the elderly... In addition to the powerful functions of the online, the intelligent pension robot is mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine health care, and regularly contacts traditional Chinese medicine experts to do health management for the elderly, combining traditional Chinese medicine with home care.
Zhang Ting introduced that this robot can work after receiving voice commands, and it is convenient and fast to use. When the elderly have abnormalities in their bodies, just a simple password, the smart products in their hands will carry out health alarms, SOS alarms or call services, and can be monitored in the first time and dealt with by family doctors in a timely manner.
At present, many places across the country have begun to explore the smart pension model, and intelligent pension service products such as portable health monitoring equipment, intelligent pension monitoring equipment, and family service robots are emerging in an endless stream. The best person to care for the elderly is certainly their relatives, but when the elderly need urgent care, relatives are not necessarily around. At this time, if there is a nursing robot that can speak and move, it is crucial for the elderly to provide help in time.
Enjoy a peaceful twilight life in a nursing home
"The food brought to the elderly should still be lighter, so that it is good for their health." Si Dongmei, president of the Third Loving Nursing Home in Beilin District, Xi'an City, instructed the children who came to visit the elderly during work breaks.
"Children want to give the best things to their parents, but they don't know much about the scientific care of the elderly, especially the care of geriatric diseases." In this regard, we have a professional team that can arrange a nursing area for the elderly, focusing on life care, taking into account chronic disease management and TCM health rehabilitation. For the elderly with disability and dementia, we mainly provide medical care, equipped with a team of geriatric specialists and general practitioners, and make daily rounds and rounds. Si Dongmei said.
On October 11, the reporter came to the Third Love Nursing Home in Beilin District. Most of the elderly here can no longer speak, some are bedridden for a long time, some just get together silently, and the medical staff here treat the elderly as relatives, bringing water to feed the elderly, combing their hair and washing, bathing and wiping themselves, and implementing 24-hour uninterrupted service. This nursing home mainly serves the disabled and semi-disabled, dementia, elderly, severely disabled and elderly people in need of hospice care, providing them with professional life care, medical rehabilitation, chronic disease management, psychological counseling and hospice care services, and the beds in the hospital are often difficult to find.
"We're nursing home managers, but more often than not, we're the workers here." Si Dongmei said. Like Si Dongmei, the business dean of the Third Loving Nursing Home in Beilin District, Qin Yi takes into account the administrative work of the nursing home, and also uses his professional TCM health service concept and rehabilitation skills to restore the ability of many disabled and semi-disabled elderly people to restore their self-care ability and improve their quality of life.
Si Dongmei told reporters: "Children choose to send the elderly to a nursing home, one is busy with work and limited energy, and the other is that there is no professional nursing home professional and meticulous care at home. It is not to send the elderly here, or to throw away the baggage, regardless of whether they ask, many children of the elderly come to accompany their parents as soon as they have time. No matter which way of providing for the elderly is chosen, it is the minimum bottom line to let the elderly get timely care and care and spend their old age with dignity. ”
It is gratifying that although the pension industry is facing many problems and challenges, the whole society has been making unremitting efforts to continuously explore the cause of the combination of elderly health and medical care, and create a better future for the development of the elderly health cause.
