| description | Due to high chronic disease prevalence and attacks as well as high incidence of injuries, the needs of emergency care resources are growing in the increasing number of older people. The traditional hospital-based emergency care in China has many limitations, such as high rate of invalid ambulance attendance in prehospital emergency care, long ambulance response time, and the occupation of a great amount of emergency care resources by non-urgent callers. Against the background of advocating tiered diagnosis and treatment, communities have been increasingly appreciated for their roles in prehospital emergency care for older adults, including monitoring and early warning, emergency dispatch and on-site treatment, and health education. In foreign countries, communities have demonstrated better practice. In China, despite many scholars' implementation recommendations, communities still have a lot of room for development. We reviewed the advances in above-mentioned three roles of communities in prehospital emergency care for older people, providing insights into the use of communities for emergency care in an aging society. |
