2. Dealing with complications
Another advantage of community medical staff over hospital specialists in chronic disease management is that general practitioners can deal with various complications of patients in time, including other chronic diseases and symptoms related to or unrelated to chronic diseases.
Dealing with complications in time in the process of chronic disease management can not only help patients save a lot of time and expenses, but also help to reduce their psychological burden and improve their motivation to continue to participate in self-management.
3. Maintain consistent treatment.
The consistency of treatment means that after the initial diagnosis of patients, the relevant medical services can continue according to clinical norms, and the treatment mode will not change. Patients terminate treatment without authorization, or change the attending doctor to make a new plan, which can not meet the requirements of treatment consistency. The consistency of treatment does not require patients' absolute compliance, and patients always have the right to terminate treatment and change the plan.
But on the whole, some surveys show that high treatment consistency can reduce hospitalization rate, emergency rate and complication rate, which is helpful to reduce medical expenses.
Extended data:
Community nursing is very important for patients, so it is urgent to establish a perfect community nursing system. In the study, we also found that under the condition that the current community nursing system is still not perfect, it is the simplest and most effective way to organize patients and establish some small groups to fight diseases, which can encourage and support each other among patients and is very beneficial to their long-term disease control.
