Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecareathome.com, where we provide tailor-made solutions for long-term, ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies. And where we also provide tailor-made solutions for hospitals and intensive care units whilst providing quality services for long-term, ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies. Otherwise, medically complex patients at home including for patients that are not ventilated but have a tracheostomy or that are ventilated with BIPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) or CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) and don’t have a tracheostomy.
We’re also looking at home after patients with Home TPN (total parenteral nutrition), Home IV fluids, IV antibiotics, electrolyte infusions such as potassium and magnesium. We can do all of that at home. Now, in today’s video I just want to quickly give a quick update.
Last week, I actually went to the hospital in the home conference here in Adelaide in Australia.
Now I haven’t been to the hospital in the home conference for quite some time because in the past, quite frankly, I thought it was a bit stale and I felt like, we are too far ahead in comparison to other services because we are sending intensive care nurses into the home and instead of hospital in the home, we are doing Intensive Care at Home. So we do it one notch up and I can say that with much confidence.
And last week was a great conference. By the way, I met many other providers, that are doing hospital in the home. There are a lot of similar challenges that other providers have when it comes to staffing, whether it comes to, some funding issues, when it comes to providing services in remote locations.
But one takeaway for me was still, we are the service in Australia that brings the best skills into the community. We are the only service in the country that a) is third party accredited for Intensive Care at Home nursing and b) brings intensive care nurses or critical care nurses into the home. No other service can match that level of skill that we are bringing into the community.
As a matter of fact, we are sending hundreds of years of critical care nursing experience into the community that is unmatched. We are still able to provide intensive care services to the sickest clients in the community in the country, in Australia. And we do it as a third party accredited service provider. No other in Australia can match that level of expertise in the community.
So that means, if you have a family member in intensive care, that’s long-term, ventilated with a tracheostomy or stuck in intensive care with a tracheostomy but not ventilated or stuck in hospital on a ventilator, BiPAP, CPAP without a tracheostomy that needs Home TPN, that needs IV Potassium, IV magnesium, you need to come to us because we can help you with all of that.
And if you are a hospital and you have bed blocks in ICU, you have bed blocks on your ward or ventilation, tracheostomy, BiPAP, CPAP, TPN, IV potassium, IV magnesium infusions, IV antibiotics. We are the go to service because we can manage all of that at home because of our third-party accreditation and because of our high skill level in the community.
And if you are an NDIS Support Coordinator watching this, and you are wondering which service can help your participant with nursing care especially when it comes to ventilation, tracheostomy, when it comes to BiPAP, CPAP ventilation. When it comes to tracheostomy without ventilation, when it comes to Home TPN or anything that’s nursing related at home, you can come to us. We are an NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) accredited community nursing service provider. We are a TAC (Transport Accident Commission) approved community nursing service provider in Victoria. We are an ICare approved service provider in New South Wales, an NIISQ (National Injury Insurance Scheme in Queensland) approved service provider in Queensland. And also we are DVA (Department of Veteran Affairs) approved community nursing service provider, but we also come in under heath hospital in the home or also with private health insurances.
Now, and if you are a critical care nurse watching this and you have a minimum of two years’ critical care nursing experience, ideally with a postgraduate critical care qualification and you are serious about taking your career to the next level and branching out into the community with Intensive Care at Home, we want to hear from you as well. We are currently having jobs in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane available.
And if you are an intensive care specialist, intensive care consultant, we also want to hear from you. We are currently expanding our medical team as well. And if you are a hospital executive watching this and you have bed blocks in your hospital, we want to hear from you as well. And don’t worry too much about the funding because the NDIS is covering most of our clients.
