HOSPITAL AT HOME IN ATHENS – NURSING PROCEDURES BY NURSE
SOS NURSES provide home nursing services to patients whose condition requires further home care or to patients who are unable to move. An experienced nurse is on call 24/7 to come to your home whenever needed.
The SOS NURSE can be by your side in minimal time, at any hour of the day or night for emergency cases, or can undertake short-term or long-term home care.
An experienced nurse, under the guidance of the attending doctor, can come to your home and provide a wide range of nursing services:
- wound care/dressing changes
- blood sampling (blood tests, urine tests)
- catheter placement
- administration of medication and IV fluids (intravenous injections)
- venipunctures
- suctioning
- personal hygiene
- catheterizations
- parenteral feeding
- subcutaneous injection
- placement/removal of IV line
- bedsore care
- monitoring of vital signs (temperature, blood pressure)
In the event that your attending doctor has recommended diagnostic tests (blood or imaging), it is possible to carry them out at home and receive the results within hours. The nurse comes to your home to collect biological fluids, takes the samples, transfers them to a reliable diagnostic center, and delivers the results to your home, even on the same day.
In every case, the attending doctor supervises the entire process.
The coordination center 1016 contacts them to update them on the progress of the treatment or the results of the tests requested, sending whatever is needed electronically.
- 24/7 without subscription or registration.
- SOS NURSES prepare the parenteral solutions and apply the treatment plan chosen for the patient by the attending doctor.
- Blood sampling or imaging tests of any kind, urine collection, or other biological fluids for the patient’s laboratory check, with rapid delivery of results.
- Constant communication and collaboration with the attending doctor.
The close cooperation of doctors, nurses, and the coordination center ensures the high quality of our medical services for patients and all those in need of medical care.
HOME CARE – HOSPITAL AT HOME
SOS NURSES, acting in support of doctors, address the need for home care in the following groups of patients:
- Patients after hospital discharge who require further intravenous therapy
- Elderly people or individuals with mobility problems and difficulty moving
- Individuals with chronic health problems
- Patients with infectious diseases (COVID-19, flu, gastroenteritis) or anyone who does not wish to be transferred to the hospital
The care of patients is provided by specialized nursing staff who remain in constant communication with the attending doctor, faithfully following and applying their instructions.
The attending doctor’s instructions, as well as the nurse’s actions, are recorded in the patient’s nursing file.
All the above, in continuous communication and cooperation with the attending doctor, for as long as needed, ensure a quick recovery at a low treatment cost.
