Principles of Home Health Care

Be sensitive to the person’s feelings and need at the time of the visit

PRINCIPLES OF HOME HEALTH CARE

 

·            Plan the work so that visits are made on the basis of need; divide your intensive area into units of 800 – 1,000 population each, and plan for regular visits to the homes in selected units at a time

 

·            Be sensitive to the person’s feelings and need at the time of the visit

 

·            Understand the other person’s point of view

 

·            Be sure of the scientific soundness of the subjects you discuss

 

·            Use safe technical skill. Including hand washing, inspection, etc.

 

·            Have a full understanding of your agency’s policies

 

·            Attain a working knowledge of the community resources and use them wisely

 

·            Collect facts about the home, the patient and the environment and make an objective analysis of the facts as an initial step in visiting the home

 

·            Work with the person and family – plan jointly

 

·            Evaluate your own work – quality is more important than greater value than 8 or 10 casual visits

 

·            Make a note of important facts in your diary

 

·            On return, record facts in the family folder and/or individual health cards
