Establishing Self Care Education for many more LTC patients
A key priority within the NHS is improving self care education. In busy primary care consultations there is often little time for educating patients in effective self management of their condition. Audits show that over 50% of patients with a long term condition will tend to have important gaps in their self care knowledge which may lead to an unscheduled hospital admission. Intouch’s Staywell range of self care education programmes is designed to help plug these gaps. Reducing hospital bed days
Our Aberdeenshire case study indicates how Staywell is starting to reduce unscheduled hospital admissions and bed days amongst patients with COPD. This appears to be due not only to increased patient competence to manage their condition, but also to increased confidence - that is to say, they are happier to leave hospital earlier because they feel more able to cope when they get home.Latest News
