				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="http://homed.gr/doctors-hospital-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%B9-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%84-%CE%BF%CE%AF%CE%BA%CE%BF%CE%BD-%CE%BD%CE%BF%CF%83%CE%B7%CE%BB%CE%B5%CE%AF%CE%B1/" href="http://homed.gr/doctors-hospital-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%B9-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%84-%CE%BF%CE%AF%CE%BA%CE%BF%CE%BD-%CE%BD%CE%BF%CF%83%CE%B7%CE%BB%CE%B5%CE%AF%CE%B1/">Έκπτώσεις μέχρι 35%</a> προσφέρονται στους κατόχους της Doctors&#8217; Hospital Health Card, μετά από συμφωνία που συνήψε η διοίκηση της κλινικής Doctors&#8217; Hospital με την καταξιωμένη εταιρεία άμεσης ιατρικής περίθαλψης και νοσηλείας στο σπίτι hoMed.</p>
<p>Με βάση τη συμφωνία, κάθε κάτοχος της Doctors&#8217; Hospital Health Card μπορεί να καλεί το 1144 οποιαδήποτε ημέρα του χρόνου και όλες τις ώρες του 24ώρου και να εκπτώσεις μέχρι και 15% στις υπηρεσίες και τις εξετάσεις, πάνω στις τιμές που βρίσκονται στον επίσημο τιμοκατάλογο της hoMed.</p>
<p>Με τη συμφωνία αυτή η κλινική Doctors&#8217; Hospital εμπλουτίζει τις υπηρεσίες της με τη νέα υπηρεσία της κατ&#8217; οίκον νοσηλείας, για την οποία υπάρχει μεγάλη κοινωνική ανάγκη, ιδιαίτερα για τους ηλικιωμένους και τους κατάκοιτους ασθενείς, των οποίων μια μετακίνηση θα μπορούσε να είναι ταλαιπωρία και καλό είναι να αποφεύγεται όταν αυτό δεν είναι απόλυτα απαραίτητο.</p>
<p>Η εταιρεία hoMed είναι καταξιωμένη στο χώρο της κατ&#8217; οίκον νοσηλείας, καθώς δραστηριοποιείται από το 1995 και είναι ακόμη μετά από 18 χρόνια η μόνη εταιρεία στην Ελλάδα που παρέχει νοσοκομειακού τύπου ιατρική περίθαλψη στο σπίτι του ασθενούς.</p>
<p>Τα τελευταία χρόνια η hoMed συνεργάζεται στενά με την κλινική Doctors&#8217; Hospital, με τρόπο που σχεδόν αποτελεί προέκταση του νοσοκομείου. Χάρη στη στενή συνεργασία των ιατρών της hoMed και του Doctors&#8217; Hospital και τη διενέργεια όλων των εργαστηριακών εξετάσεων στα εργαστήρια της κλινικής, κάθε νοσηλευόμενος στο σπίτι του υπό την παρακολούθηση και τη φροντίδα των ιατρών και των νοσηλευτών της hoMed, είναι σαν να νοσηλεύεται σε νοσηλευτικό θάλαμο του νοσηλευτηρίου Doctors&#8217; Hospital.</p>
<p>Έτσι στην περίπτωση που κάποιος κατ&#8217; οίκον νοσηλευόμενος ασθενής χρειασθεί εισαγωγή στη μονάδα εντατικής θεραπείας ή στο χειρουργείο της κλινικής, μεταφέρεται απλά από το κρεβάτι του σπιτιού του στην εντατική ή στο χειρουργείο, όπως θα γινόταν αν ο ασθενής νοσηλευόταν στο Doctors&#8217; Hospital.</p>
<p>Η περαιτέρω σύσφιξη της συνεργασίας μεταξύ hoMed και Doctors&#8217; Hospital, θα προσφέρει νέες ανακουφιστικές λύσεις στον πάσχοντα πληθυσμό, στην πολυτάραχη περίοδο που διανύει ο τόπος μας, η οποία πλήττει καίρια το πολύτιμο αγαθό της υγείας.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Conference Attendees,</p>
<p>On behalf of International Research Institute for Telemedicine and Home Care, I am pleased to announce the 3rd Hellenic National Conference of Home Care in Athens.</p>
<p>One of our top goals is to support the concept of advanced &#8220;hospital at home&#8221; model and and to contribute to its international distribution. The  lectures-workshops of the theater sessions and the hands-on training sessions of the  conference reflect the idea that &#8220;almost any patient whose condition does not require surgical operation or admission to an intensive care unit, can be safely hospitalized at home.</p>
<p>We are looking forward to welcoming you in Athens.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dr. Elias Papazissis MD, MSc</p>
<p>President</p>

<p>On the 5th of  December 2011 a  medical team embarked on a sailing boat to visit five small Greek islands, provide medical assistance, and establish telemedicine systems. The mission was successfully accomplished.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-250" title="iritel team with the Mayor of Schinousa" src="http://iritel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Αντίγραφο-από-Άφιξη-Δήμαρχος-Σχοινούσας1.jpg" alt="iritel team with the Mayor of Schinousa" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p>The boat was equipped with medical and dental apparatuses such as ultrasound scanners and bone densiometer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The destinations were: </p>
<p> <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-251" style="margin: 20px 100px;" title="IRITEL ROUTE 2 DEC 2011" src="http://iritel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IRITEL-ROUTE-2-DEC-20111.jpg" alt="IRITEL ROUTE 2 DEC 2011" width="233" height="160" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Sikinos (200 inhabitants)</li>
<li>Irakleia (151 inhabitants)</li>
<li>Schinousa (206 inhabitants)</li>
<li>Amorgos (1200 inhabitants)</li>
<li>Donousa (163 inhabitants)</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A large part of the population of these islands were exmanined, This was particularly important for people whose transportation would be difficult and painful.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-254" title="Iritel patients" src="http://iritel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Αντίγραφο-από-Αναμονή-440x330.jpg" alt="Iritel Patients" width="440" height="330" /></p>
<p>Many of the inhabitants we visited in their homes live in places that are not accessible by car. In many cases we had to walk long distances uphill to reach them.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-large wp-image-253 aligncenter" style="margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;" title="Iritel Pediatrics" src="http://iritel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Αντίγραφο-από-Παιδιατρική1-440x330.jpg" alt="Iritel Pediatrics" width="440" height="330" /></p>
<p>These people, if needed to be transported, would have to ride a donkey to reach an automobile and from there to be transported to the boat.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-255" title="Iritel patient on a donkey" src="http://iritel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Αντίγραφο-από-Γαιδουράκι.jpg" alt="Iritel patient on a donkey" width="302" height="480" /></p>
<p>In spite of the inconvenience of their transport to central health services, such a transport often causes significant financial burden to them and their families, as they have to be travelling for several days and to pay for their stay in a hotel.</p>
<p> <img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-256" style="margin: 20px;" title="Iritel visit waiting room" src="http://iritel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Αντίγραφο-από-Αναμονή-2-215x161.jpg" alt="Iritel visit waiting room" width="215" height="161" /><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-268" style="margin: 20px;" title="iritel Dentistry at home" src="http://iritel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Οδοντίατρος-μικρο-μεγεθος3-215x160.jpg" alt="iritel dentistry at home" width="215" height="160" /> <img class="alignnone  wp-image-269" style="margin: 20px;" title="irite ultrasounds at home" src="http://iritel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Αντίγραφο-από-Υπέρηχο-32-215x161.jpg" alt="irite ultrasounds at home" width="216" height="161" />The examinations performed included ultrasounds, triplex, bone densiometry (for osteoporosis), spirometry, dental work, ECG and blood tests.</p>
<p>We happened to encounter two emergency ophthalmologic cases which were totally managed via <strong>telemedicine</strong>. Otherwise both of these two cases had to be transferred to the island of Naxos.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-252" title="Iritel telemedicine" src="http://iritel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Αντίγραφο-από-Τηλε-οφθαλμολογία.jpg" alt="Iritel telemedicine in opthalmology" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p>Telemedicine was successfully used in one pediatric and a few dermatologic cases.</p>
<p>The residents of these islands expressed their gratitude for IRITEL’s visit. They are looking forward to our next visit and mainly for the operation of our 24-hour telemedicine programme.</p>
