Hello everyone! As you are aware that we have forayed in the HOME HEALTHCARE SERVICE domain and here are some observations we have made......
1) Families having a patient that needs the attention of a caregiver most of the time look out for a non-medical attendant rather than a nursing assistant
2) Price is the main criterion in deciding on opting for a caregiver from a third party. This is because cost of HOME CARE SERVICES is not covered under Health Insurance (Mediclaim as is commonly referred to in India) and even if the Hospitalization costs are covered, most of the people being underinsured the family has to bear huge costs from their own pocket on account of Co-pay / Deductibles/ Exclusions ....HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES ... especially in India.. are you listening???
3) Rising Cost of Medical treatments, diagnosis and procedures due to advances in technology resulting in typically shorter hospital stays and longer post-hospitalization recovery at home
3) Families do not know how to handle patient at home and are ignorant about the significance of appropriate Rehabilitation of the patient post-operative / post-hospitalization - they learn by asking their friends, family who have faced similar ordeal and by trial and error
4) Half knowledge is dangerous and add to that Self-medication, ease of getting information online thanks to Google, the health outcome of many patients is anything but Normal - it is shocking to see how patients just suddenly decide to stop medications, resort to alternate modes of treatment, do not go for regular followup and simply have no clue where their health is heading
5) PATIENT EDUCATION, Counselling, SUPPORT are absolute prerequisites for better health outcomes.
All the above scenarios warrant the imperative need of PROFESSIONAL HOME CARE SERVICE PROVIDERS who are committed to support the family and to help the patient on the path to recovery with Compassion, Care, patience and understanding, boosting the confidence and morale of the patient and facilitating their path to recovery.
We at ArogyaOnline Healthcare go the extra mile beyond simply providing the manpower for the patient. We have a number of Value-added Services that not only brings a Smile and boosts the confidence of the patient but also aims at complete Support for all the needs of the patient and the family....
