Abstract:
With the continuous deepening of population aging in China, the development of geriatric medicine discipline holds significant strategic importance in achieving the transformation toward a "health-centered" medical model.Focusing on the practical challenges in the development of geriatric medicine, this article proposes the "Eight Major Centers" initiative as a key mechanism to construct a new service system in the field.These centers cover vascular aging management, health management, emergency and critical care, nutrition support, comprehensive assessment, organ rehabilitation, perioperative management, and perioperative management and care services for the elderly, aiming to shift from single-disease treatment toward comprehensive health management.Furthermore, the article also puts forward the pathways to promote the high-quality development of the discipline, providing references for building a geriatric medicine discipline system with Chinese characteristics.
