Introduction

With the development of high and new technology, the Internet has been integrated into the lives of thousands of households. In the process of continuous evolution, the "Internet +" industrial model arises at The historic moment. Everything in modern society is inseparable from the Internet, especially for medical treatment.At present, in China's national conditions, the allocation of medical resources is uneven, The contradiction between supply and demand in pension institutions is prominent, Problems such as medical treatment, care and rehabilitation for the elderly are troubled, And the emergence of a new pension model, To alleviate the related problems to some extent, So, in the context of the overall environment, Build a "Internet +" integrated medical and nursing care service platform, Be able to connect hospitals, nursing homes and home elderly into the platform, Using medical information-related technologies, To realize the data interaction and real-time view and other functions, The platform relies on government agencies and pension complexes, Link to the three-level structure of "elderly care complex-community elderly care service center-home elderly care", Build an integrated "combination of medical care" service mode.

Analysis of the Integrated Operation mode of Medical care Based on Business Strategy

It mainly involves market positioning analysis, target customer selection, price strategy and promotion mode analysis. On this basis, the strategies and methods of building the "Internet +" operation platform are explored and studied.

Market Positioning

The operation of the integrated medical and nursing institutions needs to be carried out according to the market positioning of the institutions themselves. For institutions with integrated medical care, the market positioning is the position of the institution and the services it can provide in the pension market. Whether public nursing homes or private institutions need to identify their own positioning in this market, and build their own brand image according to the needs of the elderly for medical care services, so as to achieve the greatest strategic advantages.Internet + " under the background of medical combination mode is mainly supported by medical data information, online and offline medical pension information is a kind of medical resources and social resources, the network information office into the contemporary medical combined system, multi-level considering the needs of the contemporary elderly, through data sharing and convenient processing to alleviate the contradiction between the elderly supply and demand service, integration [1].

Target Customer Selection

The main target customer of the integrated medical and nursing institutions is the elderly. With the progress of society, more and more young people begin to take the initiative to choose pension institutions for their parents, so in addition to the elderly, young children are also a large customer group of institutions. Therefore, when formulating operational strategies, institutions need to determine which part of the target customer group is, and then analyze the operational strategy [2].

Price Strategy and Promotion Method

The main business income of ordinary nursing homes is the bed fee and nursing fee, while the main business income of the integrated medical care and nursing care institutions is also the treatment fee and drug cost of the medical part. For different levels of target customers Point, the price strategy formulation and promotion of medical care institutions also need a variety of schemes in parallel. Develop different pricing strategies according to the focus of different target customers.

According to the above concerns of different elderly residents, institutions can develop corresponding price strategies and promotion programs."Internet +" medical integration institutions are not only to complete the medical and maintenance work, more important is to realize the strategic development of institutions, in today's rapid development of information, if there is not a complete Internet information platform, then the existing medical integration can only be a simple medical and pension, did not really realize the organic combination of the two.In fact, the medical integration is not a simple medical and pension together, like the combination of horse and donkey will produce a new species mule, the combination of medical is actually a new product between medical and pension, so how can continue to play its light and heat, growing pension undertakings in our country, at this time you need a complete "Internet +" medical integration operation platform.
