The "interactive" column of the Chinese government's website published the relevant content of the National Health Commission's reply to netizens' message on "suggesting that hospitals strengthen the combination of medical care and nursing care to carry out elderly care services". Netizens from Qinhuangdao, Hebei, said that the transformation of second-class hospitals and below into nursing homes should be the direction. The elderly generally suffer from chronic diseases of one kind or another. With a hospital nearby, they can support themselves. For the elderly who live in the nursing home and can take care of themselves, there should not be too many restrictions. They can sign an agreement to clarify their responsibilities, just like the informed consent before the hospital operation, and do not turn the nursing home into a "detention center". Once the elderly are bedridden, they can't take care of themselves at all, so they should pay attention to hospice care. The National Health Commission replied that the elderly care service carried out by medical and health institutions is one of the service modes of medical and elderly care in China. In November 2021, the opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on strengthening the work of aging in the new era clearly supported the transformation of secondary and lower medical institutions in areas with rich medical resources, and carried out rehabilitation, nursing and integrated medical and nursing services. The National Health Commission, in conjunction with relevant departments, printed and issued policy documents such as the notice on doing a good job in the examination and approval of medical and nursing institutions, simplifying the examination and approval process. Medical institutions with legal personality can carry out elderly care services by changing the registration items or business scope. In March of this year, the National Health Commission issued the notice on improving the ability of community medical care integration, which proposed that conditional community health service institutions and township health centers could use existing resources to internally expand community (township) medical care integration service facilities, focusing on providing medical care integration services for the disabled, chronic diseases, the elderly and the disabled. With regard to hospice care services, at present, 91 cities across the country are carrying out pilot work. At the same time, they support qualified medical and nursing institutions to provide hospice care services in a standardized manner, so as to improve the quality of life of the elderly and patients with end-stage diseases.
