“…Health and scientific societies have published guidance documents for HT but evidence of its utility, and above all, safety is also scarce. Most papers on this subject were published in the early 1990s, while periodically additional authors confirm the usefulness of HT . Data about the practice of HT in Spain, its characteristics, or the circumstances supporting or hindering it are also scarce.…”

“…The transfusion process was mainly performed by a physician and/or a nurse. In the studies carried out in Italy, Scotland and Colombia the process was overseen by a physician and a trained nurse 11,13–15 . Two of the Spanish studies reported that it was performed by a trained nurse with assistance of a trained family member or caregiver and a physician on call 16,17 .…”

Home‐based blood transfusion therapy: A systematic review

Many patients with haematological diseases, cancer or advanced chronic diseases need intermediate or long-term blood product transfusions. 1 These patients are required to regularly attend a hospital or an ambulatory care centre to undergo this procedure. This can be very burdensome, especially for terminal or frail patients that must rely on caregivers for travelling. Home-based blood transfusion therapy can constitute an alternative to conventional hospitalisation for these patients by reducing the disruption which hospital admission entails for patients and caregivers. With respect to the health system, home care can enable resources to be used sustainably, by avoiding costs of care and unnecessary patient transfers to health centres, always in the interests of enhanced patient comfort and care. [2][3][4][5] Mention should also be made of patients' and caregivers' satisfaction with home care, with greater satisfaction being shown by caregivers. 3 Home blood transfusion can be used in different contexts, as a stand-alone process or as part of home care services. The concept of home care emerged in New York (USA) in 1947, with the initial aim of relieving the overcrowding of hospital wards and ensuring more humane treatment of patients. In

“…The HHS management of selected acute patients with different conditions (cardiac, respiratory, neurologic, and hematological) is feasible and non-inferior in terms of clinical outcomes than traditional in-patient management, with fewer complications, return and emergency department visits, with an improved quality of life (Isaia et al. 2010 ). The integrated care service team is multidisciplinary by including four geriatric doctors, two geriatric students, 14 nurses (including a nursing coordinator and a patient acceptance manager), one counselor, one social worker, four part-time physiotherapists.…”

The growing number of next-generation applications offers a relevant opportunity for healthcare services, generating an urgent need for architectures for systems integration. Moreover, the huge amount of stored information related to events can be explored by adopting a process-oriented perspective. This paper discusses an Ambient Assisted Living healthcare architecture to manage hospital home-care services. The proposed solution relies on adopting an event manager to integrate sources ranging from personal devices to web-based applications. Data are processed on a federated cloud platform offering computing infrastructure and storage resources to improve scientific research. In a second step, a business process analysis of telehealth and telemedicine applications is considered. An initial study explored the business process flow to capture the main sequences of tasks, activities, events. This step paves the way for the integration of process mining techniques to compliance monitoring in an AAL architecture framework.
