Research on the Application of Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Services in the Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension in Primary Hospitals Based on SWOT+4R Theory
Objective: To investigate and analyze the influencing factors and countermeasures arising from the management of hypertensive patients in communities through the application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health services in primary hospitals. Methods: This study employs SWOT analysis, considering internal strengths and weaknesses as well as external opportunities and threats, and combines it with the 4R theoretical model to deeply explore how primary hospitals can effectively manage hypertensive patients using TCM health services. Results: In the prevention and treatment of hypertension, primary hospitals have significant advantages in TCM health services, which can be fully utilized to improve the effectiveness and level of hypertension management. Conclusion: Primary hospitals play a crucial role in hypertension management. Coupled with the personalized intervention advantages of TCM health services, they can further promote the comprehensive development of primary medical services, providing a reference for establishing a management service model for hypertensive patients.
