| Popis: | Burn injuries present a special challenge to the home health care team. The most severely injured individuals are cared for in the hospital, but many patients with burns are cared for at home. Even those cared for in the hospital will eventually be discharged, and many will be referred for home health care. Coordination of services and a team approach are essential to obtain favorable outcomes. Physicians, nurses, occupational and physical therapists, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, case managers, and others collaborate as needed to evaluate and promulgate a plan of treatment. The home health care team plays an important role in this collaboration, assisting the patient to cope with these injuries and to prevent complications. |
