According to doctors at Šiauliai Hospital, up to 20% of people come every day. more patients than in December 2020. The majority (up to 65-70%) of these patients receive outpatient treatment after medical examinations and tests.
However, during the first week of January, several patients who were diagnosed with advanced oncological disease arrived daily at the Emergency Service. The patients had not been ill before, but had been experiencing symptoms for several months, but had not reported anywhere. Patients also arrive on a daily basis due to inadequate treatment and care for chronic diseases.
According to the hospital, these patients often go to the emergency department for aggravated heart failure, long-term heart rhythm disorders and chest pain. Surgeons also see an increase in the number of patients complicating chronic surgical disease, making their treatment much more complicated and lengthy, with a worse prognosis.
Calls for immediate contact
Doctors encourage and ask patients to contact their family doctors without delay and to participate in programs for the prevention of breast, prostate, cervix, colon cancer and prevention of cardiovascular cancer, to investigate new complaints and to treat chronic diseases responsibly. .
The Republican Šiauliai Hospital offers outpatient consultations for all medical specialists and the “green corridors” system is working successfully, allowing patients with suspected cancer disease to be examined for the first time in the shortest possible time. GPs are requested to refer patients to specific treatment as soon as possible.
The Hospital’s Counseling Department ensures a safe environment, regulates patient flow, and does everything possible to prevent possible infection, so there is no need to worry about visits for counseling and scheduled procedures. However, you should actively seek out your GPs, carry out the necessary tests and, if necessary, go to the GPs for consultations and tests when the GP believes you need a specialized consultation.
Not only does the hospital provide emergency care: planned day hospital services are also provided and a scheduled hospitalization is in progress. Doctors remember an old and well-known truth: the treatment of diseases diagnosed in time allows to expect the best possible result, and the constant and complete treatment of chronic diseases guarantees a good quality of life.
The registration system is changing
The portal tv3.lt recalls that recently the problem repeatedly mentioned by patients due to the inability to break into doctors and receive a bonus is in some cases just a simulated problem of the transferable information system. As a result, the patient simply does not see any openings in the system with a specialist, although there are actually.
As Vilma Telyčėnienė, Head of the Information Resources and Electronic Health System Division of the Ministry of Health explained, currently most institutions have switched from sergu.lt to their new version of IPR IS. However, until the process is complete, the problems mentioned above may occur.
“There are cases in which the institution is already using IPR IS, but the times announced and already occupied for a long time are still visible on sergu.lt. It is a natural migration process from one system to another. As soon as the institution completely transfers all times from one system to another, sergu.lt patients do not see misleading information “, –
At present, patients are advised to connect to ipr.esveikata.lt and seek free time.
