Have you ever realised that ICU stay in the most basic of ICUs costs on an average Rs 20000 per day, in most hospitals in cities like Pune. In Metros and corporate hospitals, this amount could double. Home healthcare costs not more than 10% of the amount paid in hospitals.
Add to that the comfort of the home environment, which itself heals the patient.
Moreover , the benefit of 1:1 care and obviating the risk of Hospital Acquired Infections.
Our advice to family members of such patients, is to initiate a discussion wrt to home healthcare, with their ICU doctors in hospitals.
Once patient needs only step down care, it would be useful to explore the possibility of bringing the patient home.
It is indeed a win-win solution.
