Dr. Tanju Yılmazer, Medical Director of the Home Health Unit at Private Izmir Gazi Hospital and specialized in Family Medicine, stated that the demand for home health units is increasing day by day, saying, "Home health units offer fast, comfortable, and quality solutions to health problems in cooperation with patients and their relatives, using a holistic approach, specialist physician support, and technological systems that can be used at home.""
Providing information about the operation of home health units, Dr. Tanju Yılmazer said, "As it has been frequently experienced lately; you might be having a flu infection. You might have intense complaints that disturb you. However, you might experience anxiety and hesitation about applying to a health institution. There might be issues you are curious about or suspect concerning your own or a relative's health. But you might not know from which department of which health institution you can get help for what you are curious about. Exactly in such situations, there is a unit or institution where you can get support. And it's closer than you think. Home health units will help you at this point.""
What is Home Health?
Explaining that developing technology allows many health services to be provided outside health institutions, for example at homes, Dr. Tanju Yılmazer said, "At the base of applications and names like home care, home examination, home treatment, home health, and home visit lie changes in the content and scope of the service provided at home. Home health services involve providing all kinds of needed health and care services at any age, under physician supervision, in environments preferred by individuals, for example in their homes. Home health is a comprehensive service model offered by a professional and multidisciplinary team that ensures the prevention of disease conditions affecting an individual's life before they occur, or if they have occurred, by minimizing their impact on daily life activities, and helping people reach the highest level of functional ability and increasing their quality of life as soon as possible.""
