Abstract

Objective: To study the differences in the quality of elderly services in various regions of China, and to provide reference for the high-quality development of elderly services in various regions; Method: Combining the existing research results, using the entropy weight-rank sum ratio method, optimizing the evaluation system of the quality of elderly services in China, analyzing the empirical data on the effectiveness of elderly services in 31 provinces and municipalities (autonomous regions) in China from three aspects: economic status, medical level and social security, and The results: most of the regions with the highest economic ranking also rank high in terms of the quality of elderly services; the majority of regions have significant differences between the level of medical care and the quality of elderly services; social security has a greater impact on the quality of elderly services, with 85% of the regions having a similar level of social security and the quality of elderly services; Conclusion: The economy should be steadily developed to increase the content of regional elderly care resources; medical services should be closely adapted to the current situation of regional elderly care to promote the progress of elderly care services; social security should be comprehensively improved to provide multiple support for elderly care services. It is suggested that the economic policy should be reasonably regulated, the supply of quality medical resources should be increased, the construction of elderly service infrastructure should be accelerated, and talents for elderly service should be cultivated to promote the high-quality development of elderly service in China.
