According to the Minister of Health, Aurelijus Veryga, Head of Statewide Emergency Operations, the new procedure is based on the fact that childcare services do not pose a significant risk of spread of infection, and the availability of such services is necessary, according to the press release.
“Day hospital services are encouraged, when the patient is not removed from his usual social environment and can continue treatment in a safe home environment. For example, this is especially relevant when we talk about mental health care services in day hospitals, that a person who wanted to receive so far also had to go to a mobile point in another municipality due to research. Therefore, an investigation of this requirement against such short-term services is rejected, which has reduced their availability and at the same time increased queues for procedures and services, “says Minister A. Veryga.
According to him, infection control in medical institutions, which must guarantee the safety of both patients and employees, certainly plays an important role in this case. As a precautionary measure, the risk of spread of coronavirus infection through daycare is minimal.
As before, a PCR test for coronavirus infection in all other new patients hospitalized for a longer period of time, ie. and. Nasopharyngeal swabs should be performed no more than 48 hours before the patient is hospitalized. Such an examination can be carried out both in the medical institutions themselves and in the mobile points, where people must register upon receiving the referral.
Importantly, if no response is received within 48 hours, the patient should receive the planned treatment, including day hospital services, without delay. This means that you will receive all the help that a person needs as planned.
At that time, if a person is found to be infected, i. and. If a positive answer is received, the possible delay of the scheduled services, including the nursery, is decided by the specialist doctor who provides the services.
The decision of the Statewide Chief of State Operations for Emergencies also provides another innovation related to the admission of patients to hospitals. From now on, if a patient who is scheduled to be hospitalized is not infected with a coronavirus infection, doctors will not have to report a negative result to the hospital they are admitted to, such as elective surgery, and will see the results e. in the health system you will also receive an instant SMS message. This means that the physician who prescribed the referral for the scheduled hospital stay, i. and. The GP or specialist who advises the patient should only report if the result is positive. This reduces the administrative burden on physicians.
The Department of Health (SAM) recalls that if a patient is admitted to a hospital for prolonged treatment or day surgery and a test for coronavirus infection is performed at a mobile point, the patient should register with the Corona 1808 hotline. stating that an investigation is required prior to scheduled hospitalization.
