Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecareathome.com where we provide tailor-made solutions for long-term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies and where we also provide tailor-made solutions for hospitals and intensive care units whilst providing quality care for long-term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies. Also, otherwise medically complex adults and children at home including home BIPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure), home CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), home tracheostomy care when adults and children are not ventilated. Also, Home TPN (total parenteral nutrition), home IV potassium, and home IV magnesium infusions, as well as IV antibiotics. We also provide port management, central line management, PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) line management, Hickman’s line management as well as palliative care at home, and that also includes ventilation weaning.

We have also provided an emergency department bypass service for the Western Sydney Local Area Health District. We have successfully kept patients at home as opposed to them going to the emergency department. So, Intensive Care at Home can keep your emergency department free by providing some of that care at home as well.

Now, in today’s video, I want to break down a case study but also talk more about that we are now doing Level 2 and Level 3 NDIS support coordination. The reason that is so important is that over the many years with Intensive Care at Home, we’ve been servicing clients now since 2013. We’ve provided hundreds of thousands of hours of Intensive Care at Home nursing at home.

We have now also started to provide Level 2 and Level 3 NDIS support coordination because what we found over the years is simply that many clients that inquired for our service did not have the funding because the NDIS Support Coordinators didn’t do their jobs properly and they could only get funding for support workers, which in essence was a death sentence and patients have died because of it. So, that’s why we decided to provide our own NDIS support coordination.

Recently, our NDIS Support Coordinator, Amanda, connected with a new client who’s at home with the tracheostomy, but only has support workers and that could be a death sentence. So, when support workers or even general registered nurses are looking after patients on a tracheostomy or on a ventilator, they don’t really know what to do.

A tracheostomy is an artificial airway that in hospitals, most patients with a tracheostomy, 99% of patients in hospital with the tracheostomy would be in intensive care. That’s how unstable their airway is, and it takes specialist training for intensive care nurses to look after tracheostomy.

So, for the NDIS to say, “We can look after tracheostomy at home with support workers and because they can do an online e-module” is serious business. It’s almost like a joke, but it’s not funny at all because people have died because of the incompetence from the NDIS because bureaucrats are making decisions without taking all the clinical assessments into consideration.

It’s getting better now because we are, for example, doing all the nursing assessments for our clients and we are also engaging with the right NDIS Support Coordinators.
