Continuing Care01:25

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,...

Nursing Clinical Information System01:27

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Restorative Care01:19

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,...
Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care to...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Orthopedics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Comprehensive care (CC) is essential for optimizing outcomes in older adults, particularly those with hip fractures.
  • It involves a two-stage process: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) and an interdisciplinary treatment plan.
  • CC addresses critical issues in hip fracture management, including surgical timing, perioperative stabilization, and complication prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the principles and objectives of comprehensive care (CC) in orthogeriatrics.
  • To highlight the importance of CC in managing older hip fracture patients.
  • To emphasize the need for seamless care transitions and structured discharge planning.

Main Methods:

  • Implementing a two-stage process: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) and interdisciplinary treatment planning.
  • Focusing on early ambulation with full weight-bearing as tolerated.
  • Ensuring multidisciplinary collaboration for uninterrupted care and structured discharge planning.

Main Results:

  • CC aims to improve physical and psychological functions.
  • CC seeks to reduce hospitalization, long-term care placement, and mortality rates.
  • CC facilitates early ambulation and minimizes immobility, while ensuring continuity of care post-discharge.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive care (CC) is a vital approach for improving outcomes in older hip fracture patients.
  • Effective CC requires a multidisciplinary team, early mobilization, and individualized discharge planning.
  • Overcoming cultural barriers within traditional care models is crucial for successful CC implementation in orthopedic units.
