The healthcare landscape is constantly evolving, and with increasing lifespans and complex medical needs, prolonged care has never been more critical. The Borden Institute, a renowned name in military medical research and education, has just released a significant new publication, simply entitled Prolonged Care.
Prolonged Care bridges a critical gap in the 6–72-hour post-injury phase of casualty care, particularly in resource-limited, non-surgical settings like battalion aid stations. It equips non-surgeon prehospital providers with the essential skills to manage stabilized combat casualties requiring extended care before evacuation to advanced medical facilities.
It signals a fresh and comprehensive deep dive into the multifaceted aspects of extended medical care. This new resource is highly anticipated given the institute’s commitment to evidence-based practices and focus on the unique challenges faced in various operational environments.
It addresses key areas such as:
- Strategies for managing long-term illnesses and injuries: This could include best practices in treatment, rehabilitation, and maintaining quality of life over extended periods.
- Resource allocation and logistical considerations: These are especially relevant in situations with limited resources or during prolonged deployments.
- The psychological and emotional impact on patients and caregivers: Recognizing the significant burden and offering insights into support and resilience.
- Ethical considerations in prolonged care scenarios: Navigating complex decisions that may arise during long-term treatment.
This publication promises to be a valuable resource for medical professionals, caregivers, policymakers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of prolonged medical care’s complexities. Don’t miss out on this new book from the Borden Institute.
