With the pandemic situation in which we live, online and at-home solutions have become increasingly important, especially in the health sector.
At a time when it is important to fight Covid-19 while continuing to help other patients, receiving professional medical help remotely or from the comfort of one’s own home is the solution recommended to many users.
What are the advantages of home nursing?
Home nursing offers the convenience of not having to leave the house, avoiding queues at the emergency room or health center.
In times of pandemic, it also prevents any possible contamination that may occur in clinics and hospitals.
Home nursing also has the advantage of continuing to allow direct contact with the patient.
This may be the most suitable solution in cases where such contact is imperative for treatment.
Some examples of the application of home nursing:
– In post-operative convalescence
– Hygiene care, comfort and massage
– Dressing care
– Intravenous or SC (hypodermoclysis) infusion of serum
– Care for digestive (PEG), urinary, intestinal and respiratory stomas
– Motor and respiratory kinesiotherapy
– Care for people in advanced stages of illness (terminal)
What are the advantages of online medicine?
Online medicine is a response to the need for social distancing and isolation in times of pandemic.
As well as having all the advantages of home medicine, in terms of the convenience of not having to leave the house or wait in clinics and hospitals, it adds the security and comfort of video or voice calls.
Medical support when and where you need it is the main advantage, as you can get a diagnosis and specialized follow-up without leaving your home.
Another advantage of this service is that if you need to take any medication, the doctor can prescribe it via an electronic prescription.
Several specialties have signed up to telemedicine, and at SEPRI we highlight general practice, psychology and nutrition consultations.
