In today’s blog post, I want to answer a question from one of our clients through live stream and the question today is

How to Transition from Intensive Care to Intensive Care At Home?

I want to start off with what makes me qualified to talk about this topic? I am an intensive care nurse by background. I have worked in intensive care for over 20 years, and I’ve also worked with many clients/patients at home that need Intensive Care At Home. I initially started out doing this in the early 2000s in Germany. I was part of the first nursing service in Germany, setting up Intensive Care At Home. We were pioneers then, and I worked with a fantastic group of people there. With some real visionaries, with some genuine passionate, intensive care nurses.

Big shout out to Joerg Brambring and Christoph Jaschke that are still running this in various parts in Germany. Real pioneers, real visionaries. Amazing people who were able to create an amazing team there and really change lives, change the industry, give people and families a choice, but also gives hospitals and intensive care units a choice. Saving money for health care funding agencies, mainly for health insurances, because they all of a sudden had the opportunity to save half of the cost of an intensive care bed.

After that I ventured out to work and go back into intensive care. I worked overseas. I worked in the United Kingdom, in intensive care. That’s where I did my critical care training. Started to work in Australia eventually. Worked as a nurse manager in intensive care and then eventually started to set up my own service here in Melbourne Australia, Intensive Care At Home.

Again, pretty much copying what we were doing in Germany at the time. And we have now delivered Intensive Care At Home services for dozens of clients here as well. And I want to talk about the transition from intensive care to Intensive Care At Home, and what that looks like in reality, because I know many of you have a loved one in intensive care, and many of you want to take your loved one home.

And also if you are a health professional watching this, if you are a doctor or a nurse in intensive care, I also want to educate you about what our service Intensive Care At Home can do for your intensive care unit. How it fits in with intensive care units. Because at the end of the day, what Intensive Care At Home does, it creates a win-win situation for all stakeholders that deal with us. And that’s starting from patients, families, health funding agencies, such as health insurances, NDIS, the TAC, the DVA, iCare, Medicare, Medibank, HCF, Medicaid in the US, it doesn’t really matter. It’s a win-win for everyone because we’re reducing the cost of an ICU bed by 50%. And obviously on a family level, the payoffs are around being in your own home. Rather than commuting to ICU every day, being with your loved one, you can have the same service at home and you can continue care and treatment at home.

The other thing that I want to highlight before we go into the nitty gritty of what a transition from intensive care to Intensive Care At Home looks like, I also want to highlight, when should you be looking for Intensive Care At Home? At what stage?
