Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting

Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting

Documentation in long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings is crucial for ensuring continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive care for patients. Each setting has its specific documentation processes and tools:

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Continuing Care

Continuing Care

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Restorative Care

Restorative Care

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Gerontology
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Home telecare technologies are increasingly developed for chronic disease management.
Generic technologies can also be adapted for home telecare applications.
Organizational and societal factors, like cost reduction and aging populations, drive telecare adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the requirements for successful home telecare implementation.
To identify the lack of a holistic scientific evaluation model for home telecare.
To advocate for further research to optimize telecare effectiveness.

Main Methods:

Review of existing home telecare technologies for chronic diseases.
Analysis of prerequisites for home telecare deployment (equipment, routines, infrastructure, market, authorities, cost-effectiveness).
Identification of driving forces for telecare development.

Main Results:

Successful home telecare requires certified equipment, reformed operational routines, adequate infrastructure, market readiness, health authority approval, and cost-effectiveness evaluation.
No comprehensive scientific evaluation model currently exists that integrates clinical, legal, and technical perspectives.
Organizational and societal changes are key drivers for telecare, especially for elderly patients.

Conclusions:

Home telecare presents a promising approach for managing chronic diseases and supporting elderly patients.
A significant gap exists in holistic scientific evaluation methods for home telecare.
More research is essential to develop evidence-based strategies for optimizing home telecare utilization.
