Summary
This study developed an Internet+ community home care indicator system based on elderly needs. The system provides a reliable tool for assessing demand and informing aging policies.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology and Public Health
- Health Services Research
- Information Technology in Healthcare
Background:
- The growing elderly population necessitates innovative approaches to community-based home care.
- Existing elderly care models often lack a demand-oriented structure, leading to service inefficiencies.
- Integrating Internet+ technologies offers potential solutions for enhancing elderly care services.
Purpose of the Study:
- To construct a demand-oriented Internet+ community home care service indicator system tailored to the needs of the elderly.
- To quantify elderly needs into specific, deliverable service contents for effective supply.
- To provide a theoretical and practical basis for government aging policies and the development of Internet+ elderly care models.
Main Methods:
- Utilized Existence, Relatedness, Growth (ERG) demand theory as a foundation.
- Developed an expert consultation questionnaire through group discussions.
- Conducted two rounds of Delphi expert consultations with specialists in related fields.
- Employed the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to construct a judgment matrix and derive indicator weighting coefficients.
Main Results:
- Achieved 100% effective recovery rates for expert consultation questionnaires across two rounds, with high authority coefficients (0.852, 0.868).
- Expert opinions showed consistency, with Kendall coefficients ranging from 0.226 to 0.431 and coefficients of variation below 0.25.
- The finalized indicator system comprises 3 first-level, 10 second-level, and 46 third-level indicators, with consistent hierarchical analysis findings (consistency ratios < 0.10).
Conclusions:
- The developed demand-oriented Internet+ community home care service indicator system is content-valid and reliable.
- The system serves as a dependable evaluation tool for assessing elderly care service demand.
- This framework supports evidence-based policy-making and promotes innovation in the Internet+ elderly care sector.

1.4K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...
