Lack of continuity of medical care to patients at home for debilitating and chronic illnesses

Impact
This problem impacts the patients and kin as well as the healthcare providers. A post-acute oncology patient, for example, typically suffers 2 to 3 episodes a month and more towards the end stage. He and his kin have to make repeated visits to the hospital in order to receive supportive or rehabilitative care. This also leads to increase in healthcare costs and loss of productivity of the kin. A secondary/ tertiary care hospital gets burdened by the discharged patients returning for supportive care or rectification procedures due to lack of compliance and poor care procedures. Apart from the economic loss the hospital deprives more needy acute care patients of specialised medical attention. The treatment outcomes are not controlled, which presents a healthcare efficacy problem. The primary healthcare infrastructure does not have the expertise to deliver such specialised follow-up care to the community. At a national level this deepens the gap in health and access to specialty care across the country.
