The 'unaccompanied care service' deserves praise
2024-11-06
Recently, the National Healthcare Security Administration issued a nursing project proposal guide (trial) and a notice on optimizing and adjusting nursing pricing policies, setting up a separate pricing item for "unaccompanied care services" in the proposal guide. After the implementation of project guidelines by the end of 2024, the service fees in pilot areas will be based on evidence. 'Unaccompanied care service' is not about leaving no one to accompany, but rather a ward management model where nursing staff who have undergone standardized training provide 24-hour life care services to hospitalized patients, achieving a situation where there are no family members to accompany or only family members to accompany without care. By promoting the organic integration of medical, nursing, and daily care, the "unaccompanied care service" not only alleviates the problem of "one person being sick and the whole family being busy" accompanying, but also helps to standardize the nursing team and improve the quality of care. The implementation of unaccompanied ward services reflects the improvement of the service concept of medical institutions and has won high praise from patients. Since the launch of the unaccompanied ward pilot program at the Fourth Hospital of Changsha City, Hunan Province, the satisfaction of hospitalized patients and the satisfaction of physicians with nursing work have both been improved. The starting point of unaccompanied care is to provide peace of mind for patients and their families, with a focus on high-quality care. The ability to meet patients' caregiving needs and improve the quality of medical services directly affects patients' satisfaction with nursing work. Currently, there is a high demand for nursing care, with a shortage of nursing staff in many hospitals and a lack of standardized management in the nursing market. The "unaccompanied care service" is provided by professional nursing staff to provide comprehensive nursing services, allowing patients to "live comfortably" alone and reducing the worries of their families. The long-term high patient satisfaction of Xiamen University Affiliated Cardiovascular Hospital is mainly due to the establishment of a standardized and finely managed nursing team, which has improved the quality of medical services through standardized and efficient nursing and intelligent construction. For example, patients' vital signs can be uploaded with just one click through smart devices, smart mattresses in the ward can automatically alert patients when they leave the bed at night, and smart medicine cabinets can be connected to the backend system to supply medication according to medical orders. The National Healthcare Security Administration has absorbed the experience of local exploration and established a pricing project for "unaccompanied care services", clarifying the standardized development direction for various regions. It should be noted that the National Healthcare Security Administration has clarified that at present, "unaccompanied care services" are only applicable to special grade and grade I nursing patients and are not currently included in medical insurance. Patients or their families can choose to receive "unaccompanied care services" provided by medical institutions, or choose socialized and market-based nursing services. This not only avoids the abuse of new projects and squeezes limited nursing service resources, but also provides more choices for home care, which can meet the diverse nursing needs of families. The standardized charging of "unaccompanied care services" can promote the optimization of nursing resources, promote the professionalization and standardized development of the nursing industry, and broaden the space for multi-channel promotion of people's well-being. Of course, new things still need to be tested through practice. There are still some difficulties and obstacles that need to be overcome in the "unaccompanied care service", but its positive significance in adapting to the development of an aging society and improving the health level of the people is worthy of praise. The continuous exploration and improvement of this service will undoubtedly benefit more families. (New Society)
