Using Tele-care as an option of keeping people out of hospitals and home cares

How can Tele-care become an option of keeping people out of hospital and home cares?

Purpose

To alert support and care services to issues that relate to the existing evidence for tele-care and the role it plays towards identification of the tele-care as well as methods of investing in it and how to implement it.

 Introduction  

Tele care is offering care of old and the less physically fit people with remote care by providing reassurance needed to enable them to continue living in their living homes. It is a technology of offering electronic monitoring via person centered technologies to ensure maximum care and support to individuals. In many countries tele-care has been applied as a practice of offering health care services at a distance. . The use of sensors is one part of the technology which helps in providing support for people who for example are suffering from illnesses like dementia or epilepsy.

Back ground information

Tele-care program was launched in august of 2006 in Scotland. It was designed to help more p older people, people with disabilities and people with mobility impairments to live in their homes for longer with safety and security through a development associated fund. In was intended to become an integrated part of the Scotland community care services (Hailey & Ohinmaa, 2004). The use of this technology reduced the rate at which people were inappropriately admitted to hospitals especially due to falls and other related accidents in their homes (Hailey & Ohinmaa, 2004). Investment and Interest in tele-care have been growing steadily over the past five years with the technology now being as a control trial in England although it is not yet a mainstream.
