ABSTRACT

The aging population has brought the service quality and operational efficiency of geriatric hospitals into focus within public health. While literature has explored the internal characteristics, standardized management, and developmental issues of these institutions, there is a research gap concerning their overall development amidst environmental factors. This study employs SWOT analysis to investigate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing Chinese geriatric hospitals. Furthermore, using the SWOT-CLPV model, we delve into the interactions among these factors—including control, leverage, problem, and vulnerability—and assess their potential impacts on hospital development. Based on this analysis, growth strategies, twisted Strategies, multifaceted strategies, and defensive strategies are proposed for the advancement of geriatric healthcare in China. By doing so, this study aims to enrich the theoretical research in geriatric care, offer strategic guidance for the development of geriatric hospitals, foster the progression of elderly healthcare services, and ultimately elevate the health standards of the aging Chinese population.
