Goals of Care
Symptom
Assessment & Management
Patients with a chronic medical condition may at times have difficulty managing their symptoms. Clinical intervention may be required to assess and implement a strategy to better control the symptoms of a condition. A discharge management plan is initiated for ongoing support as required.
Restoration
CHCB offers a low intensity rehabilitation program which focuses on optimising the patient’s wellbeing. This is achieved through improving strength and endurance and the provision of education regarding self management strategies. An interdisciplinary approach involving a defined management and discharge plan is implemented with the patient’s needs central to the treatment plan. Patients who may find this beneficial are those who have become deconditioned as a result of illness or injury
End of Life Care
Patients with advanced illness require a range of services to ensure their physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs are met effectively and to enable them to live and die in the place of their choice, if possible.
At CHCB we have expertise in caring for the dying and their loved ones and base our care on the following principles:
-
Our services are responsive to individual patients according to their changing needs
-
Families and carers are central to providing support for the patient
-
Families and carers need support during the patient’s life and in bereavement
-
Best outcomes are achieved through effective communication between patients, carers and health and social care professionals
-
The need for services to be ethnically and culturally sensitive
