“…The management of home healthcare services in Turkey was published by the Ministry of Health in 2005. Then, guidelines on the principles and national applications of home healthcare services came into force in 2010 and in this context it was aimed to provide an effective, productive, pleasant and people-centred healthcare service at homes within a family environment following the principles of equality and justice for those individuals in need (7,8). Patients who require monitoring at home because of disability or who are elderly, bedridden or in similar circumstances are able to benefit from this service.…”

Palyatif bakım servisi ve evde sağlık hizmetlerinin koordineli bir şekilde çalışması hastaların takip ve tedavisinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu olgu sunumu ile seçilmiş hastalarda birimler arasındaki koordinasyonun tedavideki etkisini göstermeyi amaçladık. Olgu: Evde sağlık hizmetlerinin evinde ziyaret ettiği 78 yaşında bayan hastanın sağ ayakta 2 yıl devam eden kronik yarası mevcut. Yara sağ ayak bileği laterale doğru uzanan, 4X5 cm. genişliğinde enfekte görünümlü idi. Amputasyon kararı verilmesine rağmen hastanın bu durumu reddettiği öğrenildi. Palyatif bakım servisinde 3 haftalık takip ve tedavisi sonrası yarası düzeldi. Evde sağlık hizmetlerinin kontrolünde olacak şekilde taburcu edildi. Tartışma: Palyatif bakım destek ihtiyacı olan kronik hastaların hayat kalitesini artırmayı amaçlar. Evde sağlık hizmeti ile palyatif bakım servisi arasındaki koordinasyonun hastaların takip tedavisindeki başarıyı artırmaktadır.

“…These projections show that Turkey is one of the countries in the world with an aging population. The steady increase in the aged population in this country, the consequent increase in chronic illness and the increase in early discharge from hospital increase the need for home care services (9,13,14). A majority of the patients in this study receiving services were aged 65 or older and had chronic illnesses, and these findings support the literature.…”

This study was planned with the aim of determining the clinical characteristics of patients served by the Bolu Home Health Care Services (HHCS), their reasons for making use of home health care services, and the distribution of care. Methods: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 386 patients to whom service was being provided by Bolu HHCS. A Patient Information Form created by the researchers by examining the relevant literature was used to collect data. Numbers, percentages and mean were used in the analysis of data. Results: The mean age of the individuals receiving HHCS who participated in the study was 61.6±10.4 years; a majority were female; 50.8% were married and 78.0% lived with their families, and for 70%, their children had applied to HHCS. It was found that most of the patients (96.1%) were satisfied with the home care services, 97.6% had no expectations beyond the current services, 80.1% had a chronic illness, with circulatory system diseases the most common; they most often made use of physical examination, blood collection and wound dressing services, and most were old and dependent patients. Conclusions: It was seen in the light of the results of the study that it is important to plan home health care services especially for dependent and semi-dependent old people, to develop protective health services relating to the risks of early stage stroke and cardiovascular disease, and to improve rehabilitation services.

“…This increase in the number of personnel in the sector is proportional to the increase in the number of patients. For many personnel and patients, this has created difficult to solve problems such as planning, routing and appointing appropriate personnel to the appropriate patient (Redjem & Marcon, 2016 Yilmazer, Güçlü & Öngel, 2010). Home health care services in Turkey are carried out in three ways (http:www.saglik.gov.tr;AltuntaĢ et al 2010) a)…”

Home Health Care Service (HHC) is a continuously growing new model in the healthcare sector. In HHC, patients are treated in their homes rather than at a healthcare provider. Treatment of patients in their own homes reduces health expenditures and increases the patient satisfaction at the same time. In HHC, the patients to be visited during the work day are determined in advance, necessary visits are made to the patient addresses, and treatment and care are provided to the patients at home. In this study, it was demonstrated that HHC problem can be solved by modeling it in a manner similar to Capacity Restricted Vehicle Routing Problem (C-VRP). In the new model obtained, the vehicles included in C-VRP, healthcare teams, the number of vehicles on hand, the number of healthcare teams active, customer addresses, patient addresses, vehicle capacity, daily working time of healthcare workers, the amount of load to be delivered to the customer, time to be spent for patient care or treatment at patient addresses were all included. Then, the obtained model was tried to be solved by using a heuristic approach. Experimental studies have shown that it is possible to prepare routes for patient visits in a way that does not exceed the daily working time of health workers.
