Home Healthcare

Home healthcare is clinical care that is offered by skilled healthcare professionals like a registered nurse or therapists in the patient’s home itself. This healthcare program is prescribed by the doctor after the patient has been discharged from the hospital and requires a continued treatment. These skilled healthcare professionals provide the care as per the doctor’s orders. Home healthcare may include services like physical, speech and occupational therapy, wound care, intravenous medications, glucose monitoring, and much more. 

Roles of home healthcare professionals:

·         In this, the doctor may visit the patients at their home and provide the diagnosis and treatment. They can also review the home healthcare needs periodically which gives a clear understanding about the services which the patient requires at that point of time.
