摘要

美国医疗保健系统正处于十字路口。老龄化人口需要更多的医疗服务，而医疗系统却面临着劳动力短缺、医疗能力不足和分散化等问题，因此需要创新的解决方案和政策改革。本文旨在引发医疗保健利益相关者之间的对话与合作，并激励他们采取行动来满足人口老龄化的需求。通过对老龄化社会的影响进行全面分析，本文强调了解决这一问题的紧迫性，以及对医疗保健系统进行结构调整，使其更加高效、公平、反应迅速的重要性。

Healthcare on the brink: navigating the challenges of an aging society in the United States

The US healthcare system is at a crossroads. With an aging population requiring more care and a strained system facing workforce shortages, capacity issues, and fragmentation, innovative solutions and policy reforms are needed. This paper aims to spark dialogue and collaboration among healthcare stakeholders and inspire action to meet the needs of the aging population. Through a comprehensive analysis of the impact of an aging society, this work highlights the urgency of addressing this issue and the importance of restructuring the healthcare system to be more efficient, equitable, and responsive.

期刊介绍： npj Aging and Mechanisms of Disease is an online open access journal that provides a forum for the world’s most important research in the fields of aging and aging-related disease. The journal publishes papers from all relevant disciplines, encouraging those that shed light on the mechanisms behind aging and the associated diseases. The journal’s scope includes, but is not restricted to, the following areas (not listed in order of preference): • cellular and molecular mechanisms of aging and aging-related diseases • interventions to affect the process of aging and longevity • homeostatic regulation and aging • age-associated complications • translational research into prevention and treatment of aging-related diseases • mechanistic bases for epidemiological aspects of aging-related disease.
