Healthcare 101
When someone you care about gets sick, you must learn to care for them and navigate the healthcare world if you want the best outcome for their health and well-being. In the last ten years, healthcare has changed. Fewer healthcare professionals do the work, and fewer healthcare facilities offer services. The result is that doctors send patients home for families to provide care.
However, hospitals expect families to follow the same rules in the home as those observed in the hospital with limited training provided. As a result, patients are at risk for more significant harm and complications, and caregivers deal with a mountain of frustration.
The more you know about the healthcare world, the easier it is to avoid some of this. Welcome to Healthcare 101.
