children with tracheostomies in Intensive Care as well as when they are in their own homes with specialised services like <a href=\"https:\/\/intensivecareathome.com\/services\/\" target=\"_blank\">INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Current trends in Australian Intensive Care Units suggest that the only place for somebody medically stable on a ventilator with tracheostomy is to stay in ICU.<\/p>\n<p>Medically stable ventilated adults&amp; children with tracheostomies need highly specialised care and there is no question about that!<\/p>\n<p>Medically stable ventilated adults&amp; children with tracheostomies and their families also need more Tender Loving Care than any other Clientele in ICU.<\/p>\n<p>They need a massive boost to their quality of life and in some instances to their quality of end of life!<\/p>\n<p>In any case, long-term ventilated adults&amp; children with tracheostomies in Intensive Care won\u2019t improve their quality of life in a sterile, depressing and inhibiting Intensive Care environment!<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that <a href=\"https:\/\/intensivecareathome.com\/services\/\" target=\"_blank\">INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME<\/a> has created a tailor made solution for long-term ventilated adults&amp; children with tracheostomies that works and improves their quality of life in their own home.<\/p>\n<p>It works because, not only are <a href=\"https:\/\/intensivecareathome.com\/services\/\" target=\"_blank\">INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME services<\/a> extremely successful in many European countries, but we are also showing to our Clients and our stakeholders that we provide a win-win situation for everyone by successfully looking after long-term ventilated adults&amp; children with tracheostomies at home!<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do we do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not only do we have a strong and focused \u201ccan-do\u201d attitude but we also tailor our services around our <a href=\"https:\/\/intensivecareathome.com\/accreditationquality\/\" target=\"_blank\">third party accredited Quality manual<\/a> that enables us to provide Intensive Care At Home services. In fact we are the first service provider in Australia that achieved <a href=\"https:\/\/intensivecareathome.com\/accreditationquality\/\" target=\"_blank\">third party accreditation to provide INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME services.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, we also work with the <a href=\"https:\/\/intensivecareathome.com\/mechanical-home-ventilation-guidelines\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cHome mechanical ventilation guidelines\u201d<\/a> that enable long-term ventilated adults&amp; children with tracheostomies to safely leave Intensive Care Units and go home. We have published the <a href=\"https:\/\/intensivecareathome.com\/mechanical-home-ventilation-guidelines\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cHome mechanical ventilation guidelines\u201d<\/a> on our website<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/intensivecareathome.com\/mechanical-home-ventilation-guidelines\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0https:\/\/intensivecareathome.com\/mechanical-home-ventilation-guidelines\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Those guidelines have been published in 2010 by the German Society of Respiratory physicians\u201d and we have structured our services around those \u201cproven to work\u201d guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>The guidelines clearly state that an earlier discharge from Intensive Care is possible when homes are appropriately set up with the right equipment and most importantly with 24\/7 critical care trained nursing staff to enable care and treatment for Patients on ventilators at home.<\/p>\n<p>Those guidelines are not only improving Patients and families\u2019 quality of life, they are also saving hundreds of thousands and Millions of Dollars!<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that DRG\u2019s(DRG= Diagnosis Related Groups) AO6A and AO6B(long-term ventilation with tracheostomies in Intensive Care) are the second highest ranking DRG\u2019s in terms of cost in Australia!<\/p>\n<p>How much longer does your ICU want to spend $5,000 per bed day for Patients that could be at home with the right support structure and services?<\/p>\n<p>How much longer do your long-term ventilated Patients with tracheostomies and their families need to wait to improve their quality of life at home?<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts?
