The population of patients older than 65 years is projected to increase substantially in the coming years, particularly in rural areas. Family physicians are essential providers of geriatric care, especially in rural areas, but need payment reform to improve their capacity to meet the needs of older patients.
预计在未来几年,65岁以上患者的数量将大幅增加,尤其是在农村地区。家庭医生是老年护理的重要提供者,特别是在农村地区,但需要进行支付改革,以提高他们满足老年患者需求的能力。
