Improving Quality of Life with Home Care? How come?

Before discussing how to improve the quality of life with Home care, we must first understand the service. So, what is Homecare? Hospital home care is a form of health service provided at the patient's home by medical personnel such as nurses, doctors, and therapists to offer practical solutions for patients who need long-term care but find it challenging to come to the hospital or access health services.


In the context of a shortage of medical personnel, hospital home care can help overcome this shortage by making more effective use of available resources. The use of home care services in Indonesia is expected to increase along with increasing public awareness of the importance of affordable and comfortable healthcare at home. In addition, with the COVID-19 pandemic, homecare services have also increased because patients infected with COVID-19 or patients with vulnerable health conditions want to avoid the risk of being infected in a hospital and prefer to receive care at their homes. Medical personnel are available to provide health care to patients in their homes, thereby reducing the need for patients to come to the hospital for treatment.


In terms of improving the patient's quality of life, hospital home care can provide health care that is more personalized and focused on the patient's individual needs. Patients can receive more integrated and comprehensive care, including medication, wound care, palliative care, and rehabilitation. Patients can also feel more comfortable and safe in their homes, which can help improve their overall quality of life.



Here are some of the benefits of using homecare services:

  • Increasing patient care capacity with trained and qualified medical personnel. This will help reduce the pressure on medical personnel in limited hospitals.

  • Improving the quality of care provided by homecare medical personnel usually focuses more on patients because nurses will pay special attention to patients being treated at home. Thus, the quality of the care supplied will increase.

  • Patients can receive care at home, so they don't need to be hospitalized but can receive treatment at home. This will help the patient feel more comfortable and recover faster.

  • Reducing maintenance costs which are usually more expensive than home care. By using home care services, patient care costs can be reduced.


By utilizing available resources more effectively, hospital home care can help improve patients' quality of life and overcome medical personnel shortages.
