Abstract

This figure is the part of hospitals emergencies in France (i.e. 3 million people every year) that are due to the fact that patients could not organized their medical homecares, mainly nurses homecares, generally after a hospitalization. Why because there is a real lack of visibility and information regarding who and how a patient could contact a medical homecare professional, such as nurses, to organize its homecares and return at home. In the current shift of the healthcare sector from a hospital centric system to a scheme organized around patients’ home, by reducing average duration of stay at hospitals, increasing ambulatory surgeries, the demand for specific nursing homecares will drastically increase in the future.
