Objective: Against the backdrop of China's aging population and the "Healthy China Strategy", promoting the reform of the nursing industry is becoming increasingly important. The "Internet + Nursing Service" model is becoming a new trend. This study aims to provide a reference for the high-quality development of "Internet + Nursing Service".
Method: Utilize the SWOT analysis method to deeply understand and analyze the advantages and disadvantages, current development status, and existing policy issues of the "Internet + Nursing Service" model in China. And relevant targeted suggestions and proactive countermeasures were put forward.
Result: "Internet + Nursing services" has become a new trend in the development of nursing.
Conclusion: Currently, the "Internet + Nursing Service" model in China not only has the advantages of breaking the industry barriers of traditional nursing, extending the radius of nursing services, and meeting diverse and multi-level health needs, but also can encourage nurses to utilize their spare time, give full play to their skills, and serve the society more. It not only reflects professional advantages, but also demonstrates the autonomy and flexibility of services. However, there are also deficiencies such as a shortage of nursing human resources and the elderly's lack of access to networks. Only by constantly playing to strengths and making up for weaknesses and improving the management system can "Internet + Nursing services" achieve better development.
