In this week’s blog I want to share a presentation that I’ve given as part of being at the Melbourne health accelerator program at the Royal Melbourne Hospital

INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME what we are all about!

You can see the presentation in the video here or you can read the transcript here

I have a question for you. What would you do if you had a family member in intensive care for a month, for two months, for three months? What would you do? So we think that Intensive Care At Home is for those patients is the right approach. It’s an innovative alternative to an ICU bed. Our mission, really, is to provide specialised care to long term, ventilated, intensive care patients in the comfort of their own home.

What is INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME?

So what is Intensive Care At Home, and what are we all about? It was founded by myself, in 2012. We only work with qualified critical care nurses, who have a minimum of two years ICU experience. Most of them have a critical care certificate as well. We provide quality and safety, just like you do in an intensive care unit. We provide peace of mind to you, to the intensive care unit, as well as to patients and families. And most of all, for you, we relieve pressures on the health system, and on the in-demand intensive care beds in particular.

So who are we? We are experienced people with accreditation. So, myself, I’ve worked in intensive care for nearly 20 years, in the UK, in Germany, and in Australia, and I bring this model to Australia.

Intensive Home Care nursing with Critical Care trained nursing staff!

So again, our nursing staff are experienced in critical care nursing, with the appropriate training and certification, and again, that includes a minimum of two years intensive care experience, and most of our staff have a critical care certificate. We hold accreditation, ISO 9001 accreditation for intensive home care nursing services, and we are also accredited against healthcare standards.

Third party accreditation to manage quality, safety and standards!

So what are we all about? Again, quality and safety. Healthcare standards are important to us. Again, we have 3rd party accreditation for intensive home care nursing services and ISO 9001. Most of all, we partner with consumers, and that includes you, the hospital, but also our end users, which are patients and families. We engage with the appropriate medical expertise, which means our medical governance comes from intensivists, anaesthetists, paediatricians, respiratory physicians, as well as GPs. And, most importantly, to you the hospital, we work towards zero admissions back to intensive care.

Peace of mind and a proven care model!

We provide peace of mind. How do we do that? Patients and families have confidence in the specialised, 24 hour care that we deliver at home. The model has been proven in Australia, for now over three years, and it’s based upon a model that’s been working in Germany for the last 20+ years. Families of the patient return to a version of normality, by settling back into their communities, workforce, sporting clubs, etcetera. As you would know, if you have a long-term patient in intensive care, it not only impacts on the patient, it impacts on the families as well...
