面向老年多病共存的基层数字健康管理

Digital Health Management for Multimorbidity Among Older Adults in Primary Care Setting

  • 摘要: 老年多病共存已成为我国基层慢病管理的常态化问题。传统以单病种为中心的管理模式在应对老年多病共存时,容易出现疾病分割管理、用药负担增加和患者长期参与不足等问题。数字健康为支持综合临床决策、构建连续的服务模式和实现差异化资源配置提供了新的技术路径。本文以叙述性综述的方式,梳理数字健康在风险分层、远程连续管理、自我管理支持和用药优化中的应用及证据。现有研究表明,数字健康技术有助于识别高风险人群、改善部分疾病控制指标、支持患者自我管理并优化处方过程,但这些获益尚未稳定转化为功能、生活质量、住院和死亡等整体结局的改善。数字健康技术的进一步应用仍面临基层数据整合和模型适用性不足,患者可及性与持续参与不足,服务流程嵌入和协同机制不足,综合效益与实施证据有限,隐私安全、公平性和责任治理不完善,以及经济评价证据与持续支付机制不足等因素制约。因此,未来应以患者整体健康目标为导向,夯实数据基础并提升模型适用性,发展适老的一体化服务,优化基层服务流程,完善隐私安全与责任治理,促进面向老年多病共存的基层数字健康管理规范、高效和可持续发展。

     

    Abstract: Multimorbidity among older adults has become a routine challenge for chronic disease management within China’s primary care system. Conventional disease-specific models of care are poorly suited to the complex needs of this population, potentially leading to fragmented care, increased medication burden, and limited patient engagement. Digital health offers a means of supporting integrated clinical decision-making, strengthening continuity of care, and allocating limited healthcare resources according to patient risk and need. This narrative review examines digital health applications in risk stratification, continuous remote care, self-management support, and medication optimization. Available evidence suggests that digital health technologies can facilitate the identification of high-risk populations, improve selected measures of disease control, support patient self-management, and optimize prescribing processes, but their effects on functional status, quality of life, hospitalization, and mortality remain inconsistent. Despite its potential, wider implementation of digital health is hindered by fragmented data, limited model generalizability and applicability, barriers to access and sustained use, poor workflow integration, and insufficient evidence on effectiveness, implementation strategies, and economic value. Concerns about privacy, security, equity, and accountability also remain unresolved. Future efforts should therefore be anchored around patients’ overall health goals. Priorities include strengthening data infrastructure and model applicability, developing integrated services that impose minimal burden on older adults, optimizing primary care workflows and coordination, and establishing robust governance mechanisms for privacy, security, and accountability. Together, these efforts could support a more standardized, efficient, and sustainable approach to digital health–empowered primary care management for older adults with multimorbidity.
