Abstract:
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.
