Let those born in the 70s, 80s and 90s organize group hospitalization operations, "Internet Hospital Nursing Home"
Grandma Sun, a "post-90s" generation, Grandpa Yang, a "post-80s generation", and Grandpa Fu, a "post-70s generation" who live together in the same nursing home, recently entered the Department of Biliary and Pancreatic Surgery at Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. They have lived in a nursing home for many years and are called the "Three Lucky Treasures" by the nursing home. In recent years, three elderly people have suffered from the same disease - inguinal hernia. Two of the grandfathers even suffered from pain in the groin area every day because of a small hernia that turned into a huge scrotal hernia. Out of worries about the surgery, the three elderly people delayed it for many years. Thanks to Renji Hospital's "Internet Hospital Nursing Home" smart medical platform, three elderly people began to seek medical treatment on the Internet hospital platform with the help of their family members. Chen Tao, an "Internet celebrity" expert at Renji Hospital and deputy chief physician of the Department of Biliary and Pancreatic Surgery, had full exchanges with the elderly. The elderly all gave up their concerns about surgery, organized groups to go to Renji Hospital for treatment, surgery, and were discharged from the hospital.
How to connect the high-quality medical care of tertiary hospitals to the elderly, with more underlying diseases and poor general conditions in nursing homes? The smart medical platform "Internet Hospital Nursing Home" is trying to accurately meet the urgent medical needs of this kind of elderly people: online medical treatment in the nursing home, family members remotely accompanying them in the cloud, and having "medical" support for subsequent medical treatment. Using digital empowerment to open up the last mile of medical services "access" to elderly care institutions has benefited more and more elderly people.
After "connecting to the Internet" to see a doctor, they put aside their worries about surgery and went to the hospital in a group
It is reported that the three elderly people are usually in poor health in the nursing home and have a variety of primary underlying diseases. Among them, 85-year-old Grandpa Yang and 78-year-old Grandpa Fu still have bilateral hernias. Some also have severe rickets, making it difficult to even lie down.
"I'm afraid of surgery. My physical condition is not good and I'm old, so I'd better endure it." Although they are troubled by diseases every day, they are not willing to go to the hospital to solve the inguinal hernia that has been bothering them for many years.
However, since Renji Hospital opened remote outpatient clinics in nursing homes, the elderly are finally willing to try again. With the help of their family members, the elderly began to seek medical treatment on the Internet hospital platform, and soon found Chen Tao. Through online consultation and communication, Chen Tao's professional answers eliminated the elderly's concerns about this surgery. At the same time, about three elderly people formed a group to go to the offline clinic to complete the pre-operative examination.
At the same time, during the online consultation, Chen Tao discovered that several elderly people were old and had underlying diseases. In addition to surgical operations, anesthesia was also a challenge.
To this end, Chen Tao specially invited Huang Zhenling, deputy chief physician of the Department of Anesthesiology, to complete the preoperative assessment for the elderly offline. Huang Zhenling believes that these three elderly patients have poor basic conditions and the risks of general anesthesia are extremely high, but the surgery can be performed through local inguinal nerve block technology. This technology can perform local anesthesia on the nerves in the groin area while ensuring that the patient is awake, thereby greatly reducing the patient's anesthesia risks and improving surgical safety.
In the end, with the close cooperation of Chen Tao and Huang Zhenling, the three elderly people successfully completed the operation and were discharged from the hospital as a group the next day, successfully resolving the pain that had been bothering them for many years. When he was discharged from the hospital, Chen Tao did not forget to remind the "Three Auspicious Treasures" to return for follow-up consultation at the Internet hospital.

Many elderly people in nursing homes have difficulty traveling. When they need to go out for medical treatment, they often need to coordinate with their family members, nursing homes, etc. Therefore, elderly people in nursing homes often resort to "procrastination" when seeking medical treatment, and many of them end up in emergencies.
To this end, Renji Hospital, under the joint guidance of civil affairs, health and other departments, has launched a new model of "Internet Hospital Nursing Home" and expanded the radiation effect of high-quality medical resources on nursing homes. Currently, 35 elderly care institutions covering 5 districts in Shanghai have been signed, covering nearly 11,000 beds, forming an example of digital empowerment in the integration of medical and nursing care. The smart medical platform "Internet Hospital Nursing Home" is gradually trying to allow more and more elderly and poor elderly people in nursing homes to receive precise diagnosis and treatment from experts in remote outpatient clinics without leaving the hospital.
The person in charge of the hospital revealed that at present, Renji Hospital uses the Internet hospital smart platform to sink high-quality medical resources to elderly care institutions, and provides online consultation, appointment registration, follow-up prescription refills, medical insurance settlement, drug distribution, green channels, etc. for the elderly. Serve. If the elderly in nursing homes need hospitalization, they can reserve a bed through the Internet hospital.
At the same time, Renji Hospital's Internet hospital is also constantly improving its "aging-friendly" smart service facilities, realizing a number of aging-friendly transformations such as cross-hospital follow-up consultations in the Internet hospital, settlement of serious illness medical insurance, and Internet hospital consultation for the elderly's children.
