Home Care: Dealing With Emergencies

The right information saves lives.

In an emergency, knowing the medical history of the patient can be the difference between life and death.

Ensure that all the up to the minute personal and medical information is available in a special pack, clearly marked to ensure that the right care and attention is administered.

Pfizer surveyed 1,000 people nationally and found that:

• Over half of adult children said their parents were on a prescription medicine but 77% did not know the name of the medicine;
• 1 on 5 did not know the name of their parents' GP;
• 72% worry about their parents' safety and security.

Within an emergency service all clients are independently assessed to find out their personal needs.

ICE (In Case of Emergency) plans include:
- Full medical history,
- Medication plans,
- A list of family and friends contact details.

What is a Personal Information Pack (PIP)?

A green cross sticker goes in very visible location on there front door, this indicates to ambulance or firemen that there is a PIP box located in their fridge, it contains all their personal information such as:

• Allergies
• Is the person an organ donor
• Who should be contacted in case of an emergency
• Medical details:

o Contact details of their GP and pharmacist
o Respiratory History
o Cardiac History
o Diabetes

• What Medication they are on
• Etc.

The information is then placed in a water tight bag, then into the plastic PIP box.

The pack also comes with a green cross keyring and is recognised by all emergency services.

More details about the HSE Home Care Support Scheme

The main priority of the Home Care Support Scheme is older people living in the community or those who are in-patients in acute hospitals at risk of admission to long term care.

Home care packages will also be available to those older people who have been admitted to long term care and who can (with support), return to the community. Packages may be offered to those already using existing core services, such as home helps, but who may need more assistance to continue to live in their community.

Home Care Support packages are also available for young chronically sick people and others who could continue to live at home provided they had adequate supports.

Home Care for the Elderly

Maybe you might fancy a night out at the opera or just bingo at the local club? Whatever your needs, we will try our best to fulfill them.

All patients are provided with ICE (in case of emergency) plans, these include full medical history, what medication patients are on and list of family members or friends contact details. They are very helpful and could save your life in an emergency.

Emergency Medical Response Via Inland Waterways. $115.71 This research investigates the feasibility of using inland waterway transportation to provide emergency medical response to catastrophic events. Limited resources are available to provide general hazard relief across much of the United States. Inland waterways can provide access for equipment and people when other means of transportation are unavailable due to capacity constraints or destruction. Specific research questions include: (1) what are the emergency response capabilities of inland waterways, (2) what is the feasibility of providing emergency medical services via barge, (3) which types of communities could benefit from such a service, and (4) for which types of emergencies could medical response via barge be appropriate. This research is accomplished through literature review, feasibility analysis, and a case study based on the state of Arkansas. A Waterway Emergency Medical Service (WEMS) index is developed to guide emergency planners in evaluating the feasibility of incorporating emergency medical response via inland waterways into their emergency operations plan (EOP).

Infection Control in an Emergency Medical Service $138.61 The field of emergency medical care and rescue, by the very nature of its environment, is a reservoir in the transmission of potentially serious healthcareassociated infections to both patients and staff. Studies on infection control thus far have been largely hospital based. This quantitative, non experimental study took place in an EMS in South Africa. It used a crosssectional, descriptive design to investigate aspects of ambulance infection control, by determining microorganism contamination and assessing the infection control knowledge and practices of staff.The findings were of concern.Many challenges common to ambulance services worldwide were identified, that restricted ambulance staff in the performance of adequate infection control. This book will be of interest to members of the EMS and medical microbiology community who want to develop and implement evidencebased ambulance infection control guidelines. The recommendations, together with the identification of future areas of study will be of interest to persons who want to research, design and implement infection control guidelines for the EMS industry.
