The day outpatient hospital – a place where the “Dr. Organdziski” team is entirely devoted to the patient

The day outpatient center is a diagnostical center that provides intensive medical treatment or medical check-ups during the day and allows patients to be home at night. It is also known as a Day Treatment Program or Partial Hospitalization Program, which allows daily treatment and partial hospitalization, providing continuous monitoring, care and support for the patients.

The “Dr. Organdziski” daily hospital offers administering an intravenous catheter for total parenteral nutrition, supplementing blood derivatives, administering and epidural catheter for analgesia (losing the sensation of pain).

Here are a few important things you should know about day clinics:

1. Treatments intensity

Day hospitals offer a more intensive treatment than the traditional doctor’s office therapy, but less intensive than hospitalization. Patients usually get treatment in several batches,  every day or several times a week.

2. Transition support

Day hospitals are a transition from hospitalization to a check-up, diagnostics center care. Patients who have been hospitalized, could continue their treatment with several hours a day in a day hospital and then move on to homecare and check-ups at their doctor’s office.  Day hospitals can greatly reduce the need for full hospitalization, by providing intensive treatment for patients with acute symptoms.

3. Flexibility

Unlike hospitalization, patients in a day hospital return home in the evening. This allows them to keep track of their everyday activities such as work, school or family. The stay in the Day hospital is limited to 6-8 hours.

4. Monitoring and support

Because of the fact that these patients do not spend the night in the hospital wing, the staff at the day hospital provide support for the patients and carefully monitor their condition.  This means giving proper medication, emergency interventions, support to obtain the skills to cope with the medical condition or disease a patient might have.

5. Effectiveness

Day hospitals are often more lucrative and financially justified than hospitalizations because there is no need to have round-the-clock full staff rotations and accommodation of the patient. They are also less expensive than the Home Visit Treatment Program.

6. Continuity of care

Day hospitals provide and promote continuous patient care. This is done in coordination with the other healthcare suppliers, such as primary healthcare doctors, therapists, community medical resources, all in the name od providing comprehensive treatment and support for the patient.
