Complex Care
From Hospital to Home
Nine months is too long to wait for discharge. One patient’s journey shows how Ness M Care Services transformed critical care into compassionate home recovery.
THE DISCHARGE DILEMMA
Where traditional solutions fell short
Skill Gaps: Most home care providers sill lack clinical skills for patients fully dependant on ventilator support and other complex needs.
Hospital Equipment in the Home: Few community care providers have the training and skills required for high acuity care monitoring.
Confidence Crisis: Many of the local providers felt unable to meet the need of complex discharge – hospital to home.
The need for basic home care remains essential, but advances in medicine and technology mean more people are surviving conditions that were once fatal. This has created a rising demand for complex care at home. At the same time, increasing pressure on hospital beds is making timely discharge and safe, high-acuity home support more critical than ever.
