Patient-Centered Care in Long-Term Care Hospitals:  What You Need to Know

The aim of long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) is patient-centered: to give each patient respect, dignity, and respect through specific care. One needs to understand the principles underlying such an approach in order to ensure that, whether it's for you or someone close to you, you will be given the best care possible. In this article, we will cover what patient-centered care really is in LTCHs, the essential parts it involves, and how it may enhance the condition of patients, families, and healthcare providers as well.

What is Patient-Centered Care?

Patient centered care in LTCHs deals with how every patient, over the course of their hospital stay, brings forward their personal needs, preferences, and values and makes them important to care. This is not a one size fits all approach, but rather it addresses the patient as the one who can take an active role in their care. Shared decision making and attention to what matters most to every individual produce a more patient-centered experience.

Key Components of Patient-Centered Care

There are a few key elements that form the building block of patient-centered care in long-term care hospitals:

Individualized Care Plans: The treatment given to a patient is specific to the type of medical problem, functional level, and personal goals for each patient. This would entail treatment to address the ailment a person has and also his/her preferences about what he/she values most.

Effective Communication: Patients, families, and healthcare providers must practice open and transparent communication. A dialogue with empathy will enable the individuals to be on the same page concerning what is expected in terms of the care plan, and the patient is heard and respected.

Respect for Dignity and Privacy: Maintain patient dignity and respect privacy at all times. LTCHs are obligated to create environments that respect personal space and related comfort levels, other cultural values.

Holistic Support Services: Here, the care done in LTCHs is not only about relieving the medical ailment of a patient. Psychosocial support, spiritual care, and recreational activities, daily living assistance ensures complete care for the physical, emotional, and social wellness of patients.

Shared Decision-Making: Patients and their families are also fully engaged in all aspects of planning care. Patient-centered care enables patients to make decisions based on information provided, supporting them in making choices that fit well with their personal values.

Benefits for Patients, Families, and Providers

For patients and their families, it connotes respectfulness as well as a valuation of patients in the treatment process by healthcare services. The patient-centered approach also implies that there should be portions of control given to the patient during the whole process of treatment so that fear and anxiety would be eliminated and trust and faith restored in the treatment procedures followed. Healthy relationships are developed between the patients' families as well as the healthcare teams in addition to increased satisfaction with the treatment experience.

For healthcare providers, embracing patient-centered care is embracing a compassionate and empathetic approach. This requires listening and hearing the needs of patients and those of their families and being involved in the process of care. In other words, continual adjustment of treatments to meet the needs of the patients needs to be carried out. This philosophy, therefore, improves the outcomes for patients aside from engendering trust between the two: the patient and the members of the medical staff.

Conclusion

The patient-centered approach is the foundation of quality health care in long-term care hospitals. This can be achieved via individualized treatment, open communication, and cooperation in decision making. A patient feels empowered, respected, and cared for when in such an environment. Understanding the importance of patient-centered care as a patient or family member ensures that needs and preferences are always prioritized in a health care journey.

Long-Term Acute Care Hospital Admission Criteria | Long Term Acute Care

Long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs) specialize in treating patients with complex medical conditions requiring prolonged hospitalization, typically longer than 25 days. These facilities are designed to provide intensive care for patients who are too stable for a traditional acute care hospital but too unstable for lower levels of care, such as rehabilitation centers or nursing homes.

700 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours and the airstrikes are more violent each night. Gaza's hospitals have fuel left for two more days. Israel only allowed aid into Gaza on the condition they didn't carry fuel. The Indonesian hospital has shut down already, because doctors have no supplies and no choice but to let the wounded die. They're calling it a collapse but the term doesn't do it justice.

Over a 100 incubator babies are at risk. There are 50.000 pregnant women in Gaza right now, and 5.500 due to give birth this month. Menstruating people are taking pills in order to stop their periods, because they do not have pads or water to maintain hygiene. Surgeons are operating without anesthesia. Water is not reaching Gazans because there's no electricity or fuel for water pumps.

There's no excuse for this. Israel justifies the airstrikes by saying they want to destroy Hamas infrastructure and release the hostages, but they have refused to negotiate for their release. Hamas informed Israel they wanted to release two elderly women without anything in return, and Israel refused. Netanyahu said they wouldn't take their own civilians back because it was "mendacious propaganda." When the hostages were finally released, Netanyahu prohibited the hospital from giving press releases. Yocheved Lifshitz went behind their backs and talked to the press anyway, saying she was treated very well by Hamas, but the government abandoned them. They're being used as straw men. Israel is conditioning the entry of fuel to the release of hostages and yet, according to The Wall Street Journal, when Hamas proposed to exchange 50 hostages for fuel they denied. IDF officials have said they fear the release of more hostages because that might withhold the order to their ground invasion. They do not care as long as they can use the hostages as a pretext for their slaughtering.

There's a turning tide for Palestine in public support. Support for Israel was built through decades of propaganda and we are making a dent into it. Zionists are desperate, holding zoom meetings to promote zionism, but we have to do so much more. We have to shame people in power into supporting the Palestinian cause.

Keep yourself updated and share Palestinian voices, looking to inform yourself from the sources. Palestinians have asked of us only that we share, tweet and post, over and over. Muna El-Kurd said every tweet is like a treasure to them, because their voices are repressed on social media and even on this very app. Make it your action item to share something about the Palestinian plight everyday. Here are some resources:

Al Jazeera

Anadolu Agency

Mondoweiss

Boycott Divest Sanction Movement

Take action. You can participate in boycotts wherever you are in the world, through BDS guidelines. Right now, they are focusing on boycotting (don't be overwhelmed by gigantic boycott lists. Only boycott additional brands if you can):

Carrefour

HP

Puma

Sabra

Sodastream

Ahava cosmetics

Israeli fruits and vegetables

Push for a cultural boycott - pressure your favorite artist to speak out on Palestine and cancel any upcoming performances on occupied territory (Lorde cancelled her gig in Israel because of this. It works.)

If you can, participate in direct action or donate. Palestine Action works to shut down Israeli weapons factories in the UK and USA, and have successfully shut down one of their firms in London. Some of the activists are going on trial and are calling for mobilizing on court.

Call your representatives. The Labour Party in the UK had an emergency meeting after several councilors threatened to resign if they didn't condemn Israeli war crimes. Calling to show your complaints works, even more if you live in a country that funds genocide.

R.I.P., My Love (part i) // Tory Dent

Let us be apart then like the panoptical chambers in IC patient X and patient Y, our names magic markered hurriedly on cardboard and taped pell-mell to the sliding glass doors, "Mary", "Donald", "Tory"; an indication that our presence there would prove beyond temporary, like snow flurry. Our health might be regained if aggressive medical action were taken, or despite these best efforts, lost like missing children in the brambles of poor fortune.  The suffering of another's I can only envision through the mimesis of my own, the alarming monitor next door in lieu of a heartbeat signifying cardiac arrest,  prompts a scurry of interns and nurses, their urgent footsteps to which I listen, inert and prostrate, as if subject to the ground tremors of  a herd of buffalo or horses, just a blur in the parched and post-nuclear distance. I listen, perhaps the way the wounded will listen to the continuing war,  so different sounding than before, the assault of noise now deflected against consciousness rather than serving as motivation for patriotism and targets.  Like fistfuls of dirt loaded with pebbles and rocks thrown at my front door, I knew that the footsteps would soon be running to me also. The blood pressure cuff swaddled around my arm pumped in its diastolic state independently like an iced organ ready for transplant as I witnessed with one circular rove of my eyes my body now dissected into television sets, like one of those asymmetrical structures  that serves as a model for a molecular unity in elementary science classes. And the plastic bags of IV fluids that hung above me, a Miró-like mobile or iconic toy  for an infant's amusement, measured the passing of time by virtue of their depletion.  Sometimes I could count almost five and then seven swinging vaguely above me at 4 am. I remember the first, hand-held high above me when I arrived via ambulance at the ER, the gurney accelerating as a voice exclaims on the color of my hands "they're blue!".  Another voice (deeper) virtually yells out into the chaos that she can't get a pulse. Several pairs of scissors begin simultaneously to cut off my clothes, their shears working their way upward like army ants from pant cuff and shirt-sleeve,  a formulaic move for the ER staff which, despite its routine, still retains a sense of impromptu in the hurriedness of the cutting both deft and crude, in the sound of their increased breathing, of their efforts intensified by my blood  pressure dropping, the numbers shouted out as if into night fog and ocean. It's not a lack of professionalism but the wager of emotional investment that I feel. One attendant, losing her aplomb for a moment, can't contain herself from remarking  (as if I'm already post-mortem) on what a great bra I have; "Stretch lace demi-cup, Victoria's Secret," I respond politely in my head.

"Vice President Kamala Harris is proposing to provide federal funding to cover home care costs for older Americans, aiming to help the “ sandwich generation " of adults caring for aging parents while raising their children at the same time.

Appearing Tuesday on ABC’s “The View,” Harris talked about taking care of her mother when she was dying and personally experiencing the challenges many families face when seeking affordable in-home care for their aging loved ones.

She promised that if, elected in November, she will seek to expand Medicare, the federal health insurance program for older Americans, so that it covers long-term care and includes services like in-home aides. Harris said aides could help seniors do things as simple as preparing meals or putting on sweaters because it is “about dignity for that individual. It’s about independence for that individual.”

Her proposal is a new one just a month out from Election Day but the issue is one that President Joe Biden's administration has been working on for years.

In an effort to soften the effects of inflation, the White House promoted as part of Build Back Better, its legislative agenda that stalled on Capitol Hill years ago, steeply increased federal spending for child care as well as for seniors. After Build Back Better collapsed, the Biden administration continued to promote increasing spending for what it calls “the care economy,” a cause Harris has continued to mention after replacing Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket.

“These plans are common sense. They can help family caregivers work and save both families and the federal government money by allowing seniors to stay in their homes instead of being sent to nursing homes,” the Harris campaign said in a fact sheet detailing her proposal. “Medicare at Home will also reduce hospitalizations.”

As part of a blitz of media interviews she’s been doing in recent days, Harris sat down after her appearance on “The View” with radio personality Howard Stern, who said that his mother is 97. Taking care of an elderly parent, he said, “will bankrupt you.”

Such costs have increased pressure on adults caring for their parents and kids simultaneously. In 2019, roughly 30% of family caregivers of older Americans lived in households that included children or grandchildren, according to AARP.

Harris would likely have to work with Congress to achieve key parts of her proposal. Harris’ campaign points to past, similar proposals projected to cost $40 billion annually, but says much of that can be offset by savings achieved through efforts begun by the Biden administration to expand Medicare’s ability to negotiation prices with major drug manufacturers.

Harris is also promising to further expand Medicare to include hearing and vision coverage, while changing existing rules that can allow federal authorities to seize a deceased beneficiary’s home to recuperate costs. [Note: I'm sorry the current rules fucking what] The campaign fact sheet says that practice “means that those homes are not passed on to the seniors’ children, which particularly harms rural and minority families.”"

Have you ever suffered from an illness or injury that needed specific, long term care to stop it from getting worse? One where you had to be extremely careful, or else you could end up worse off than you started?

My friend Hashem Bader @hashem-bader's young niece was injured about a year ago, at the beginning of the war in Ghazzah. Because of the war, there were no safe conditions for her to heal in. She could not rest and recover, as she had to flee from her home. She couldn't get regular check ups by a doctor either, as doctors were overwhelmed by all the wounded, and hospitals kept being bombed.

Now, a year later, Hashem and his extended family have been able to get his niece's arm checked by a doctor. The doctor told them that the bone in her arm has welded wrong, and she will need another operation to fix it.

Not only will Hashem's niece, who is just a child, have to go through the pain and stress of an operation during a war, but she doesn't even have a safe place to stay and recover afterwards! Hashem and his family's tents were destroyed due to bombing, and now they don't have a place to live.

£3,116 / £50,000

Hashem has been fundraising since MARCH, but he has only raised 6% of his goal! He urgently wants to reach £3,645, as his family needs that much just to survive, and to buy a tent to stay in.

Please, help Hashem and his family get what they need to survive and be safe. Help his niece get surgery, and a safe place to recover afterwards. They are all exhausted after more than a year of war. Please help them find even a bit of rest. Share and donate, anything you can give makes a difference.
