The CHF Hospital At Home service was created based on the understanding that treatment of patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is highly complicated and therefore requires extensive cooperation between the treatment team accompanying the patient, the family and the community. The objectives of this ward are to extend their life expectancy whilst maintaining the best quality of life and comfort, and preventing or slowing down the progression of the disease, reducing hospital admisions and rational use of medicines and tests.
How does the Home Cardiac Insufficiency service work?
During Home Hospitalization for Cardiac Insufficiency, the patients are designated a permanent Sabar Health professional team that accompanies them and their families for the duration of the treatment period. The first visit will take place within 24 hours of acceptance of the service, and during that visit, the physician will perform a precise diagnosis of the patient and prepare a personalized treatment program for him. Staff members will conduct a prearranged home visits and, in accordance with the treatment program, will provide round the clock monitoring of the patient, and will always be available to him. The treatment includes the use of a unique technology which enables close monitoring and the real-time updating of the staff regarding the condition of the patient.
What will the service look like from the perspective of the patient and his family?
The meeting with Sabar Health will start with the reception visit by a nurse and a doctor’s visit, either in person or remotely, as required. Also, a visit by a social worker to get acquainted, set expectations and collect full information from the patient and his family. We believe that an immediate, professional and sufficient response by the treating nurse, in conjunction with proactive actions will enable the patient and the family to feel protected on the one hand, and to be participants in the promotion of the best quality of life for the patient on the other. As a result, there is significant reduction in the need for the different healthcare services. The emphasis on home hospitalization for cardiac insufficiency patients at Sabar Health is that the nurse manages the treatment of the patient, is personally and directly accessible without mediation from the center, and is also the first port of call for any kind of referral. The success of the program depends on close accompaniment, accessibility, support and addressing all the issues that are bothering the patient and his family.
