远程医疗适老化服务现状与提升研究——以上海老年群体为例

Aging-Appropriate Transformation of Telemedicine Services—Current Status and Improvement Research

摘要: 随着全球人口老龄化趋势加剧，我国老年人口数量快速增长，对医疗服务的需求急剧上升。传统医疗模式因医疗资源分配不均、基层服务薄弱等问题，难以满足老年人便捷就医需求，老年人面临行动与交通限制、就医流程繁琐等多重就医难题。尽管远程医疗在我国已有所发展并为部分患者带来便利，但其应用局限于大城市和发达地区，基层及老年群体参与度低，且存在技术、规范、法律等方面的问题。基于此，本研究围绕远程医疗适老化主题展开，旨在深入探讨如何构建契合老年人群特点与需求的远程医疗服务体系，从而有效解决老年人就医难题，提升医疗服务的可及性与公平性，推动医疗资源的合理分配与高效利用。

Abstract: With the intensification of the global aging population trend, the number of elderly people in China is growing rapidly, leading to a sharp increase in demand for medical services. The traditional medical model struggles to meet the elderly’s need for convenient medical access due to issues such as uneven distribution of medical resources and weak primary-level services, leaving the elderly facing multiple difficulties in accessing medical care, including mobility and transportation limitations and cumbersome medical consultation procedures. Although telemedicine has developed in China and brought convenience to some patients, its application is limited to large cities and developed regions, with low participation among primary-level areas and the elderly population, and it also faces problems related to technology, standards, and laws. Based on this context, this study focuses on the aging-appropriate transformation of telemedicine, aiming to explore in depth how to construct a telemedicine service system that aligns with the characteristics and needs of the elderly. This will effectively address the medical access challenges faced by the elderly, enhance the accessibility and equity of medical services, and promote the rational allocation and efficient utilization of medical resources.
