Abstract

"Millions of Americans of all ages face the challenge of living with serious illnesses such as advanced cancer, heart, or lung disease. Many people with serious illness are increasingly cared for in community settings. While the number of community-based programs to provide care for those with serious illness has grown significantly, the quality of care provided is not consistent across geographic locations or care settings. Care for the serious illness population often features gaps in coordination across sites of care and poor patient and family perceptions as to the quality of care provided. In an effort to better understand and facilitate discussions about the challenges and opportunities related to identifying and implementing quality measures for accountability purposes in community-based serious illness care, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a public workshop on April 17, 2018, in Washington, DC. Workshop participants explored the current state of quality measurement for people with serious illness, their families, and caregivers, with the aim of identifying next steps toward effectively implementing measures to drive improvement in the quality of community-based care for those facing serious illness. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop"--Publisher's description.

Abstract

This widely researched study demonstrates convincingly that neither grandiose promises nor nightmare scenarios have much to do with actual care practices employing telecare. Combining detailed ethnographic studies of nurses and patients involved in telecare with a broad theoretical frameworky from various disciplines, the author concludes that these practices leads to more rather than less intense caring relations, resulting from a spectacular raise in the frequency of contacts between nurses and patients. Patients are much taken with this, not because they feel they are finally able to manage themselves, but because they can 'leave things to the experts'. The patients find that caring is something that is best done for others. The book frames urgent questions about the future of telecare and the ways in which innovative care practices can be built on facts rather than hopes, hypes or nightmares. Politici promoten telezorg als de meest efficiënte oplossing van het probleem van de vergrijzing en ontgroening. Met behulp van telezorg, zo beweren ze, gaan chronisch zieke ouderen 'zichzelf managen' en zullen er minder professionals nodig zijn. Aan de andere kant stellen technologie-pessimisten dat er een verschraling en verkilling in de zorg zal optreden als professionals telezorg grootschalig gaan invoeren. Zieke ouderen zullen hun laatste adem uitblazen onder toezicht van camera's en sensoren, ver van menselijk contact.

Grootse beloften noch inktzwarte nachtmerries hebben veel te maken met de praktijk waarin professionals en patiënten daadwerkelijk met telezorg werken. Dat blijkt uit dit boek, waarin de auteur gedetailleerd en uiterst leesbaar verslag doet van de wederwaardigheden van patiënten en verpleegkundigen in een aantal pioniersprojecten van telezorg. De combinatie van etnografisch onderzoek en theoretische inzichten uit onder andere wetenschaps- en techniekstudies en ethiek levert verrassende inzichten op. Zo blijkt telezorg de zorg intensiever te maken omdat het contact tussen patiënten en professionals vaak spectaculair toeneemt. De ouderen zijn hier doorgaans erg tevreden over, niet omdat ze zichzelf nu eindelijk kunnen managen, maar juist omdat ze zich veilig en gekoesterd voelen door al die extra zorg die via apparatuur mogelijk wordt gemaakt. Het boek stelt een aantal prikkelende vragen over de toekomst van telezorg en de manier waarop we innovaties in de zorg zouden kunnen baseren op feiten in plaats van dromen, hypes of nachtmerries.
