Today we receive a report from a reader who invites us to reflect on what society would be achieving Meridia Health, which he would send Social Health Operators to perform diagnostic investigations at the Patients’ home.
Social Health Operators called to carry out diagnostic investigations (ECG and Holter positioning) at home on Patients / Users assisted by a well-known Italian private company.
This is the Meridia Health, which apparently has created an online diagnostic inquiry / booking system that it would use US instead of Nursing or other health professions, in defiance of all regulations regarding professional responsibility and safety of care.
When a reader’s report came to the editorial office, we didn’t want to believe it and we immediately thought of a Fake News. Instead, unfortunately, it’s all true!
On the website of the Meridia Health in fact, we read that: “the logistics network and over twenty years of experience of the Meridia Consortium, together with the consolidated know-how of Cardio On Line Europe, give life to a project that aims to guarantee, in the range of services provided , new services with high specialized value with the help of telemedicine. In fact, thanks to a team of socio-health workers and of cardiologists always at your disposal, it is possible to carry out – without waiting lists and in total safety – Electrocardiograms, Cardiac Holter e Holter pressors, with efficiency and timeliness directly to your home “.
OSS who carry out such important diagnostic investigations without having the skills? That’s it!
The Social Health Operators they have no competence in the matter of diagnostic investigations of this type and of all other types and cannot absolutely apply them except in support of the Nurse and for specific technical actions attributed by the latter.
Now we are hoping for a mere mistake by the Company in indicating theUS as executor of the diagnostic investigations listed on the site, even if the same reader confirms that a Social Health Operator has arrived at his home to perform an ECG.
Obviously now we await the replica of the Meridia Health, while we ask for the intervention of FNOPI and of FNOMCeO to clarify what is happening.
Crazy things!
