Providing medical care for the elderly, ensuring their well-being,
promoting their recovery, and offering entertainment
have become the new norms in elderly care today.
The integration of medical care and elderly services
is undoubtedly an important approach to addressing the challenges of an aging society.
The Gulou District Huada Street Community Health Service Center, in collaboration with the adjacent Huada Street Elderly Service Center, has launched a new model of “embedded” medical and elderly care services. A professional medical team dispatched by the Huada Street Community Service Center will establish health records for the elderly at the service center, provide free annual routine check-ups, home visits, health guidance, and lectures, ensuring that elderly residents can receive minor treatments without leaving the nursing home, access a green channel for major illnesses, and enjoy the national health insurance policies, ensuring timely diagnosis and rescue for the elderly.
Zero-Distance Medical Team Visits
It is reported that the Huada Street Community Health Service Center promotes the sinking of high-quality medical resources from provincial and municipal levels through close cooperation with the medical alliance, allowing elderly residents at the service center to enjoy professional medical services from top-tier hospitals right at their “doorstep”.
The center collaborates with top-tier hospitals in the medical alliance to conduct regular visits for the elderly at the service center, where medical staff provide guidance on daily care. Additionally, doctors offer professional medication advice tailored to different health conditions, ensuring medication safety; for patients with limited mobility, medical staff will carefully assess and provide targeted treatment plans and care suggestions.
Regular Check-Ups to Safeguard Health
The medical team from the Huada Street Community Health Service Center will regularly visit the elderly service center to conduct comprehensive and detailed health check-ups, including height, weight, blood pressure, blood routine, urine routine, liver function, kidney function, electrocardiograms, and other examinations, protecting the first line of health. They will also provide targeted treatment suggestions based on the check-up results.
In addition, the center uniformly establishes health records for the elderly at the service center and provides family doctor contract services, conducting regular follow-up guidance and offering advice on diet, exercise, and rehabilitation. Medical staff will closely monitor the health changes of elderly patients with chronic diseases, timely adjusting treatment plans to ensure effective control of their conditions.
Informative Health Lectures
The Huada Street Community Health Service Center leverages the senior dining hall to bring a series of engaging health lectures to the elderly at the service center. Topics cover the prevention and treatment of common diseases in the elderly, the importance of a balanced diet, the benefits of moderate exercise, and the maintenance of mental health, among others. By analyzing real cases, the elderly can easily understand complex medical knowledge and master practical health skills.
The Gulou District will continue to focus on the urgent and difficult issues faced by the public, continuously innovate medical service models, enhance medical technology levels, and bridge the “last mile” of medical and elderly care services, ensuring that the integration of medical and elderly care services is “zero distance.”
