Bridget Harrison, Head Clinical Excellence, HCAH and Inspector – Care Quality Commission, the UK; and Usha Prabhakar, Nursing Director, HCAH, conducted the workshop. It dwelled upon the role of nurses in providing high-end quality care to patients at home post-hospital release, as also save them from travelling to hospitals for repetitive and routine treatments like physiotherapy, dressings and daily injections.
In recent times, healthcare has evolved in India with new concepts and technologies making possible headways. Among such concepts, homecare services, which have been quite popular in the West, have become a buzz and gained ground in the backdrop of ageing population, cost-affordability, comfort and convenience.
“Health Care at Home, which made a foray in the homecare space last year, is a nursing-led company, committed to providing quality treatments to patients at home through its technologically-advanced platform. The company ensures that the consulting doctors are kept in the loop while HCAH’s nurses administer treatments as suggested by them. By delegating their routine treatment tasks to us, they have more time in hand to devote to critical patients. Our company’s aim is to ease their burden as well as that of the patients. We plan to aggressively work alongside doctors to be able to provide cohesive and cost-effective treatments to patients,” said Vivek Srivastava, CEO, HCAH.
