Diabetes friendly care with love ,thoughtfulness and consideration
The nursing home of our hospital was established in 2000. Currently, 85 beds are set up, accounting for 98% of the bed rate. In 2016, through the "Nursing Home Quality Old-age friendliness Certification Institute", we have carried out environmental renovations to meet the needs of the care of the demented elderly, and have used physical and mental functions to activate sports aids and apply for "dementia-non-drug therapy programs". The demented elders design a variety of innovative care products to enable the elderly to enjoy a happy life. This institution connects acute medical care and long-term care systems, providing integrated care for proximity, accessibility, safety, continuity, integrity and fairness. Together with relevant professional teams, it forms a care network with “cross-disciplinary expertise” and "Quality Improvement Program", providing first-class quality care, which has attracted many domestic universities with internship opportunities. Our nursing home is committed to improving the quality of service by improving the aging of the residents, and is expected to become the national long-term institution demonstration center.
The ratio of the elderly population in Taiwan reached 14.5% in 2018 (the aged society) and is estimated to reach 20.6% by 2026 (the super-aged society). As the elderly population grows rapidly, the care demand will become increasingly heavy. Additionally, the demented elderly often have behavioral and psychological symptoms, which lead to overloads of caregivers. Caregiver’s depression has being reported up to 37%.
The geriatric psychiatric team of the Taoyuan Psychiatric Center MOHW was established in 2004, consisting of 8 geriatric psychiatric specialists, together with nurses, social workers, psychologists, occupational therapists, pharmacists and dietitians. The team provides elderly psychiatric outpatient clinics, acute hospitalization, day-care, community outreach services, disability identification and certification, and actively refers patients to long-term care resources. The team provides professional, considerate, continuous, high-quality geriatric psychiatric services in a multi-disciplinary manner. The quality and achievements accumulated over the years have been recognized by many parties.
Recently, the role of pharmacist in the care team has getting more and more attention in Taiwan. However, many pharmaceutical services focus more on long-term care institutions, does very little on fields of mental disorders as a target. Characteristically, our pharmacy team focused on pharmaceutical services in mental health care, not only to provide hospital-based outreach services, also to combine social network and community resources for mental health patient and their families. In addition, we involved in research to establish local empirical evidence.
Driven by the concept of "patient-centered", our pharmacists always keep the patients as priority. Hence, the role of pharmacist has changed from passive to active. We take action by distributing information of drugs and its related health education. Not only providing the pharmaceutical services at the outpatient clinics, our pharmacists worked closely with team members of inpatient psychiatric groups for drug safety. Furthermore, our pharmacists have reached out to the people in the neighborhood, community and campus for continuity, integrity, integration services. We developed a mutual trust relationship with the residents in neighborhood in order to ensure the safe supply of medicines and aimed at promote the concept of proper medication, and widespread the information of drug safety to every corner of the community.
