Accelerating the Construction of Remote Medical Service Network in Qinhuangdao City: Countermeasures and Suggestions to Improve Rural Elderly Care Services

Abstract

With the intensifying aging population, rural elderly care services are facing challenges such as uneven medical resources and inadequate facilities. Taking Qinhuangdao City as an example, this paper explores ways to improve rural elderly care services through the construction of a remote medical service network. This paper analyzes the current status of rural elderly care services in Qinhuangdao City, pointing out that issues such as the uneven distribution of medical resources between urban and rural areas, poor accessibility, and low service quality urgently need to be addressed. The necessity of accelerating the construction of a remote medical network is proposed, including reducing medical costs, optimizing resource allocation, and disease prevention. Specific measures cover aspects such as policy support, integration of medical and elderly care services, talent cultivation, and technology promotion. At the same time, the potential challenges and risks faced by the remote medical service network in improving rural elderly care services are evaluated, and corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are proposed. Research shows that remote medical care can effectively improve the quality of rural elderly care services and help achieve proper medical care for the elderly.
