Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.0K
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,...

Acute Respiratory Failure-V01:29

Acute Respiratory Failure-V

137
The treatment for acute respiratory failure varies based on factors like the underlying cause, overall health, and severity. A collaborative healthcare team is essential for early detection, often through arterial blood gas analysis. Identifying the cause is the primary goal, with treatment strategies adjusted for ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch, shunting, or diffusion impairment.
Ensure that patients are monitored continuously for their response to therapy, including changes in...

Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

1.5K
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,...

Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

1.8K
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...

Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention

2.0K
Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed....

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-I

941
Specialized care settings or centers are situated in convenient locations within the community and offer care to a specific group or population. They consist of daycare facilities, mental health facilities, rural health facilities, educational institutions, industries, shelters for the homeless, and rehabilitation facilities.
Daycare centers
They provide several functions. Some facilities care for healthy newborns and children whose parents work, while others are medically focused and care for...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Palliative Care
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Enhanced supportive care (ESC) provides proactive, multiprofessional, coordinated care from cancer diagnosis.
  • It contrasts with reactive models that offer multidisciplinary support only at crisis points or for end-of-life care.
  • In the UK, ESC has become associated with early palliative care, expanding its scope to include long-term cancer management and survivorship.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the evolving role and broader remit of enhanced supportive care in modern cancer treatment.
  • To highlight the importance of ESC in improving patient quality of life and aligning care with patient preferences.
  • To explore the potential of ESC to enhance healthcare system efficiency and reduce costs.

Main Methods:

  • The study is a conceptual review and synthesis of the role and impact of enhanced supportive care.
  • It analyzes the integration of ESC within the UK's National Health Service (NHS) cancer care pathways.
  • The abstract discusses the expansion of ESC to include cancer survivors and those undergoing curative treatments.

Main Results:

  • Enhanced supportive care improves patient quality of life during and after cancer treatment.
  • ESC services manage treatment side effects and address patient priorities and preferences.
  • ESC supports the healthcare system by increasing capacity, reducing hospital demand, and generating cost savings.

Conclusions:

  • Enhanced supportive care is integral to modern cancer care, improving patient outcomes and system efficiency.
  • Further work is needed to ensure widespread availability of ESC services across the NHS.
  • A shared vision for ESC implementation is crucial for realizing its full potential in cancer survivorship and curative care.
