THE VENETALAB - MEDIFAST PROJECT
Venetalab – Medifast carries out the global assessment, defines the clinical care condition and identifies the healthcare needs of elderly people, identifying the most suitable responses to satisfy them and favoring, where possible, their maintenance at home through a Project welfare. This Project must take into account the needs, expectations and priorities of the patient and family members, lost and residual abilities, recoverable functions, as well as personal, environmental and family factors. The Project is: for the subject to be evaluated the right to have personalized treatments based on the centrality of the person, for the services providing the duty to exceed equal services for all and the start of interdisciplinary team work in place of divided interventions and disaggregated. Therefore it must contain the objectives and results that are intended to be achieved, the type, method, location and level of intensity of the interventions. Venetalab - Medifast is responsible for the contents of the Project and usually indicates a contact person for the case. The case contact person is a social or healthcare professional figure, who acts as a point of reference for the non-self-sufficient elderly person and his family, from assessment to taking charge, facilitating, monitoring and coordinating the care path, thus ensuring its continuity, in order to guarantee the adequate socio-health response within the network services, consistent with the project defined by Venetalab – Medifast. The contact persons are identified as the general practitioner and the professional nurse. The Individual Care Plan (PAI) is the operational transposition of the Project and comes developed by the team that takes care of the person. It, starting from the project drawn up by Venetalab - Medifast and after observation and acquisition of any other useful information, defines: - the specific actions, the type of services and the professional figures involved, - the frequency and duration of every intervention necessary to achieve the objectives, - the tools identified for the definition and management of the P.A.I., - the periodic evaluation of the results, with indicators and times, - the congruity between needs and P.A.I. and between new needs and changes to the P.A.I. Essential figure in the management of the P.A.I. is the contact person for the Individual Care Plan, who follows the person from the moment they are taken into care throughout the entire care process. The P.A.I. contact person is an operator is the general practitioner or professional nurse, depending on the prevailing need, identified within the care setting team, who guarantees the entire care process over time, carrying out part of the interventions and interfacing with the various operators and the family, to ensure continuity of care and protection of the non-self-sufficient elderly person. The preparation, verification and updating of the P.A.I. takes place within a team, made up of a generalist doctor and a professional nurse. The patient's general practitioner is automatically part of the team. It is advisable to also involve a family member or carer of the person both for a better understanding of the subject and to compare their expectations with the responses that the Service is able to offer. Responsibility for operational execution lies with the Health Director or, where not foreseen, this operational responsibility is attributed to the coordinator of nursing activities or to the coordinator of protective care activities.
