Visiting the doctor at home

 

Home care services were first introduced in Europe in 1940 to serve patients with physical disabilities. Nowadays, statistics show that about 40% of families in the most developed countries benefit from the facility of home visits and home treatment.

In recent years, hearing a doctor visit at home has been a cliché and far-fetched sentence, but today we are witnessing the realization of this important matter.

 

Benefits of visiting at home

 

Access to 24-hour medical services is definitely one of the most important and basic needs of every family. Also, lack of access to the doctor's office at different hours of the day especially at night and on holidays, traffic problems, difficult transportation of elderly patients, and long queues at the doctors’ offices multiplies the need to use services of home visits and home treatment.

Also, visiting and performing the necessary medical procedures at home creates very favorable conditions for the person, which strengthens the person's confidence and peace of mind.

The most important advantages of home visits and home treatment over hospital treatment are the following:

• Avoiding contaminated and infectious environment of the hospital
• Elimination of the cost of hoteling (residence) in the hospital
• Accompanying medical staff from the beginning of the illness to the end of the convalescence period
• No physical injury to the patient resulting from his transfer from home to the hospital
• No harm to the patient resulting from biological and traffic pollution
• Patient peace of mind and satisfaction due to attending the intimate gathering of his family
• Having healthy and home nutrition
• More care and therefore more accurate treatment of the patient

 

People who are included in the home visits services:

 

• Inability and weakness due to illness
• People who are at risk of transmitting the infection
• People who do not have enough time to go to the doctors’ offices for any reason
• Old age
• Pregnant women who need absolute rest
• People with disabilities
• People who receive food in the form of gavage.
