AbstractAlthough highly involved in heart failure (HF) patients’ care, home care workers (HCWs) lack HF training and are poorly integrated into the healthcare team. For its potential to address these challenges, we examined the role of technology among HCWs caring for HF patients. We conducted 38 interviews with key stakeholders. Overall, four themes emerged. Participants reported that technology is critical for HF care, but existing systems are outdated and ineffective. HCWs also have limited access to electronic resources. Technology, training, and principles of implementation science can be leveraged to improve HCWs’ experience in caring for HF patients and home healthcare delivery.

Abstract Background Expenditure in healthcare in the Netherlands is so increasing that currently 1 in 7 employees are working in the health care/cure. Future expansion is under constrain given the 10% of GDP use and shortage of working force.Dutch healthcare consists of a cure section (mostly hospitals) and nursing care@home. Both entities have different national budgets (€25 + €20bln) Methods In a proof of concept, we explored a new Hospital@Home (H@H) model combining hospital cure and home-care budgets in a 800 mi2 district with 850,000 inhabitants. The objective comprises 4 proofs: (1)provide hospital care@home, (2) combine financial budgets (3) increasing working forces by combining teams, (4) increased satisfaction of pts and nursing staff. Results We proofed a joining budgets of the hospital and home-care group for cardiology. The homecare-budget was sufficient to hire 3 nurse practitioners who are trained by the cardiologists and work with 16 home-care cardiovascular nurses for H@H treatment. The hospital budget provided a virtual EHR cardiology ward and supplied the home care-nurses with a nursing app to assess the patients EHR. Budgets were sufficient to obtain the home-heartfailure monitoring application. The cardiology-group developed the H@H program for endocarditis treatment and heartfailure telemonitoring. Clinically, in the first 6 months, 50% of hospitalized endocarditis pts were treated with iv antibiotics@home with an average 16.5 days per pt shorter admission days without complications. 33% of eligible hospitalized heartfailure pts consented for telemonitoring@home while up-titrated on medication. Video-consulting reduced outpatient visits with 75%. Patient satisfaction was 75/100. Conclusion In this proof of concept, the H@H program provided hospital cure at home by merging hospital and home-care nursing staff and ICT budgets. Patient satisfaction score were driven by shorter admissions and less hospital visits. We call for further exploration of efforts to facilitate combined home-care and hospital-cure transmural budgets to confirm this proof of concept.

In making care into work, agencies justify their existence in the market as managing the predictable tensions that regularly arise in home care. Home care agencies build upon women’s familial experience of care while seeking to transform them into workers whose labor conforms to the ethical and temporal norms of American workplaces. Conflicts regularly arise between people’s moral ideologies about care, the economic pressures of capitalist markets, and the laws that govern labor and elder care in the United States. This chapter traces the transformation of moral values into economic value by focusing on the everyday ethics practiced by home care agency training and management staff as they mediate between national moralities, the needs of their agencies, the needs of clients, and their own ethics. Agencies’ different funding sources affect how they imagine and generate their clients’ independence. Publicly funded care policies view older adults as liberal persons in a democratic state in which rights and services are the result of citizenship and need rather than social position. In privately funded care, older adults’ independence was authorized by their privileged position as consumers whose subjective tastes and preferences determined the kinds and quantity of care they received. Their independence was not the result of fair treatment by an equitable state, but rather determined by their ability to wield economic power.
