Abstract:

As China’s aging population continues to accelerate,the health issues of the elderly are increasingly being taken seriously. As the main place for elderly care,a well-established and mature community nursing service system can meet the health needs of the elderly and reduce the medical burden caused by aging. This article summarizes the outreach service model of the Hong Kong Christian United Hospital’s elderly community,which includs four service models and service categories:elderly community nursing services,community geriatric assessment teams,integrated care and discharge support for elderly patients,and patient support call centre. Compared with the current development status of community continuity nursing in mainland China,suggestions for improvement are proposed in order to provide reference for the development of community continuity nursing in China.
