The reporter learned from the National Health Insurance Administration that "long-term care nurse" is a new occupational type set up by the National Health Insurance Bureau with the support of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security in order to steadily promote the construction of the long-term care insurance system. A few days ago, the two departments formulated the national professional standards for "long-term care workers" and promulgated them for implementation.
"Long-term care specialist" refers to a practitioner who uses basic life care and nursing knowledge and skills to provide basic life care and closely related medical care, functional maintenance, psychological care and other services for people enjoying long-term care insurance benefits in families, communities, elderly care institutions, medical institutions and other places.
According to the information released by the National Health Insurance Administration, China's long-term care insurance system was launched in 2016 and expanded in 2020800 million people, a total of more than 2.35 million people enjoy treatment, the cumulative expenditure exceeds 72 billion yuan, and there are about 8,000 designated nursing institutions providing services, with nearly 300,000 nursing staff.
At the same time, there are more than 42 million disabled elderly people over the age of 60 in China, and the supply of professional and high-quality nursing service personnel is seriously insufficient, which has become an important constraint on the sustainable development of the long-term care insurance system.

According to the newly promulgated national professional standards for long-term care workers, long-term care professionals are divided into three levels: primary (level 5), intermediate (level 4), and senior (**).
The skill requirements and related knowledge requirements are progressive, and the occupational functions include life care, basic nursing, emergency response, functional maintenance, symptomatic nursing, disease nursing, psychological care and other parts. Those who are at least 16 years old and interested in long-term care work can apply, and there are no gender and educational requirements. At the same time, relevant occupations can apply for the professional recognition of long-term care professionals of the corresponding level after passing the standardized training.
