In today’s blog post, I want to answer a question from one of our clients and the question today is
NDIS Support Coordination for Hospital Discharges Now Available at INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME
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 and otherwise medically complex patients at home including non-invasive ventilation such as BIPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure), CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), also tracheostomy care for adults and children that are not ventilated as well as Home TPN (total parenteral nutrition), which is total parental nutrition or IV nutrition as well as IV potassium and electrolyte infusions at home.
Now, in today’s blog, I want to talk again about, “Hospital discharges and the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) Support Coordination aspect of it.” So, you would have seen in some of our recent blogs that we started talking about that Intensive Care at Home is now also providing NDIS Level 2 and Level 3 Support Coordination with Level 3 being the Specialist Support Coordinating aspect of the NDIS Support Coordination world.
Now, many people that watch this blog or watch our videos, they know that they have loved ones in intensive care or in the hospital waiting for hospital discharges under the NDIS Scheme in Australia, of course.
We now have our own NDIS Support Coordinator, Jessica Dale. I actually have done an interview with her a couple of weeks ago and I will link to the interview with Jessica here so you can watch it or read through it. Jessica has experience with rapid hospital discharges under the NDIS funding scheme.
I highly encourage you that if you are stuck in a hospital, if you have a loved one stuck in the hospital, and you need rapid hospital discharge under the NDIS, I encourage you to reach out to us as quickly as possible so we can help you with NDIS funding and NDIS intake if you are not on the NDIS scheme yet, and then also help you with the relevant nursing care at home if that’s what you need to go home after a long hospital stint, after a long hospital admission.
So, have a look on our website at intensivecareathome.com. There’s a section where it’s talking about the NDIS intake. It’s also talking about the NDIS Support Coordination aspect, Level 2 and Level 3, in particular. Level 3 is really Specialist NDIS Support Coordination which is predominantly for people that are very complex and need a lot of services to be put in place to go home from hospitals or from intensive care, or people that have recurring ED (Emergency Department) admissions.
So, check it out on our website and reach out to us at intensivecareathome.com. Call us on one of the numbers on the top of our website or send us an email to [email protected] and we can help you and answer your questions there for any NDIS funding related questions and NDIS Support Coordination questions in particular.
Let’s help you with that. Please, let’s not overcomplicate and get it done. We have found that many hospitals don’t even know how to we deal with the NDIS, but we have that skill in-house now. I will also link once again to the interview that I’ve done with Jessica a few weeks ago about her skillset.
Once again, when it comes to NDIS Support Coordination and hospital discharges, we are the place to go to whether it is for the NDIS funding as well as for the relevant care that you need at home.
So, I hope that gives you some insights.
Now, if you have a lot of money in intensive care or in the hospital, long-term or you are watching this and you are in the hospital yourself and you are in a similar situation, ventilation, tracheostomy, BIPAP, CPAP, Home TPN, also palliative care, whatever you need, please reach out to us. We can help you and contact us.
For the right level of support including NDIS Support Coordination for hospital discharges, we can keep you or your family member at home predictably. We can get your loved one from hospital to keep them at home predictably, that’s our area of expertise.
Again, if you’re at home already with insufficient support, if you have regular hospital readmissions, because you don’t have the right level of support at home, there is help at hand. We have transitioned many clients from going from home to hospital all the time and we put a stop and put a fix to that because of our higher level of skill that we bring into the community.
As a matter of fact, we are the only Intensive Care at Home service in Australia, that’s actually third-party and NDIS accredited. No other service has that level of expertise in the community. We’re employing hundreds of years of ICU nursing experience in the community, making sure that our clients stay at home predictably all the time.
Now, if you are an NDIS Support Coordinator watching this and you’re worried about your participant not getting the right level of support, if you want to find out how to go get nursing funding from the NDIS or any other funding bodies for that matter, please contact us as well.
If you are a critical care nurse working in intensive care or in emergency and you’re looking for a career change, please contact us. We are currently hiring critical care nurses with a minimum of two years critical care nursing experience in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
If you are working in an ICU and you have some ICU patients that could benefit from Intensive Care at Home where you have bed locks or exit blocks, please contact us as well.
If you’re a doctor ICU consultant, we are also currently expanding our medical team, please contact us if you’re interested in working with us. Once again, as an ICU consultant, if you are working in ICU and you have bed blocks, please contact us as well.
If you’re a hospital executive and you have bed blocks and you know you do, whether it’s bypassing your ICU or whether it’s bypassing your ED. We’re also currently providing an ED (Emergency Department) bypass service for the Sydney Local Western Area Health Service and to keep their ED empty, we can do the same for your hospital by sending our CCRNs into people’s homes or sometimes into residential care facilities to keep people at home instead of going to ED. Now, we also provide NDIS nursing assessments.
