Abstract:
Background & aim: The percentage of older people has been growing in all economically developed countries over the past several decades. The purpose of this research was to optimize the healthcare and social care model based on the in-depth study of social, hygienic and clinical characteristics of elderly individuals. Materials & methods: The authors' study included individuals aged 65 years and older. Results: The proportion of elderly and senile individuals increased from 15.3% in 2011 to 18.6% in 2020. The authors found that the existing healthcare system does not meet the needs of the aging population and thus developed a new organizational model for healthcare and social care services designed to integrate the activities of social welfare centers and local polyclinics. Conclusion: Implementation of the authors' model enables a range of healthcare and social care services and allows for management of a patient's health based on individual characteristics.
