Abstract:
Our country has long been facing a shortage of medical resources, and the contradiction between the demands of the people for a better life and the insufficient development of medical and nursing services is becoming increasingly prominent, especially with the growing aging population and the increasing demand for chronic disease management. The Internet hospital, online and offline cooperation, and other health management models are gradually becoming the development trend. However, the limitations of elderly people’s use of “Internet Plus” technology may hinder their use of mobile healthcare. In this article, we discuss the “Internet Plus” home care management model for community-based elderly people. Through literature research and field surveys, we investigate the current status of community elderly care management and the application of “Internet Plus” home care management models. Applying the Delphi method, building on qualitative interviews and survey data, utilizing the ERG need theory framework, we selected 15 experts for two rounds of consultation to form the final draft of the “Internet Plus” home care management model for community elderly people. The results show that the health care problems of elderly people mainly include daily life care, health monitoring, and medication management. In the “Internet Plus” home care management model, the application of information technology such as remote monitoring, medical consultation, and intelligent devices has effectively improved the effectiveness and safety of community elderly care. We suggest strengthening the community elderly and their families’ awareness and application of the “Internet Plus” home care management model, improving its effectiveness, and improving the quality and safety of community elderly people’s home life.
