Best practices that help achieve safe #patient transitions: There are two best practices that promote safe transitions for the patient from the #hospital or skilled nursing facility to the home. The first is the ability of the nurse to rapidly reconcile a patient’s medication regimen. The second is the ability of the patient to make and keep a follow-up visit with his or her #healthcare provider within two weeks of discharge from the hospital or skilled #nursing facility. These two strategies are supported by #evidence as best #practices
Long-term care refers to a comprehensive range of #medical, personal, and social services coordinated to meet the physical, social, and emotional needs of people who are chronically ill or disabled. A nursing home facility may be the best choice for people who require 24-hour medical care and supervision. #Nursing homes offer the most extensive #care a person can get outside a hospital. Nursing homes offer help with custodial care — like bathing, getting dressed, and eating — as well as skilled care. Skilled nursing care is given by a registered nurse and includes medical monitoring and treatments. Skilled care also includes services provided by specially trained professionals, such as physical, occupational, and respiratory #therapists.
The services nursing homes offer vary from facility to facility. Services often include:
Room and board
Monitoring of medication
Personal care (including dressing, bathing, and toilet assistance)
24-hour emergency care
Social and recreational activities
