Abstract:
Objective:To study whether the "combination of medical care and pension" service model can effectively control the development of chronic disease in the elderly and reduce the direct economic burden caused by the disease.Methods:A total of 180 elderly participants who received the "combination of medical care and pension" service model for chronic disease management in Chongqing, China were investigated and analyzed statistically. Epidata 2.0 was used for data entry, SPSS 20.0 was used for data analysis, and paired sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Results:After 12 months of chronic disease management, hospitalization events and expenses of the elderly were reduced, among which the number of hospitalization was reduced by 0.24 timed on average, the length of hospitalization was reduced by 10.41 days on average, and the hospitalization expenses were reduced by 11 144 yuan on average. The direct economic burden due to chronic diseases was reduced by approximately 8 844.5 yuan, accounting for 33.8% of the average cost of hospitalization for the elderly without the application of the model.Conclusion:The chronic disease of the elderly is well controlled by chronic disease management through the "combination of medical care and pension" service model.
