The average number of visits is 280 per month. The average number of patients per team is 20-25 with 80% being adult.

Patients are referred by the MRP from the wards or clinics and who is ultimately responsible for the medical orders for patients. Professional nursing staff practices from an evidence base, and apply international nursing standards. The department recognizes the importance of training Saudi nurses and other specialties for the future and works with the Nursing College to provide home health exposure during training.

Scope of Services

The Home Health Care is a hospital-based, community program, which was established in 2008 to facilitate discharges from the hospital and for continuation of patient's care. It developed to include as goals, not only to decrease hospital length of stay but also to reduce ER visits, re-admission to hospital, visits to clinics and laboratories and also as an alternative to hospitalization, i.e. palliative care and IV therapy.

Philosophy:

We believe that home health care provides a cost-effective alternative to hospital care whereby the patients heal better in their familiar home environment. The care that we give is based on respect for the dignity and worth of each and every client we value the professionalism, competency, and team work amongst our staff. Clients and their families are empowered in the care planning process.
