In 200-250 words,  Discuss what resources are often necessary for nonacute care for cardiorespiratory issues. Explain how they support patient independence and decrease readmission. 

In general, nonacute cardiorespiratory care involves the management of chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and asthma. The conditions must be managed and supported to help patients manage their symptoms, and prevent an exacerbation. For non-acute cardiorespiratory care, there are a number of resources available.

1. Home healthcare services: Home healthcare services provide nursing care, physical therapy, and other support services in the patient’s home. These services help patients learn to manage their symptoms, monitor their condition, and develop self-care skills. Patients can benefit from home healthcare services for medication management, wound treatment, and more.
2. Telehealth Services: Patients can communicate remotely with health care providers using technology such as videoconferencing, text messages, and other technologies. Telehealth is particularly helpful for those patients who have limited transportation or mobility options. They can access healthcare from their homes. Telehealth services can also help healthcare providers monitor patients’ condition and provide support and education.
3. Self-management and patient education programs: Programs that teach patients about their illness, their symptoms, or how to avoid exacerbations are available. The programs may include instruction on self-care, lifestyle change, or medication management. The programs empower patients to play a more active role in the management of their health conditions. This can increase patient independence, and reduce readmission rates.
4. Care coordination/discharge planning: Both are important to ensure that patients continue receiving appropriate support and care after leaving the hospital. Care coordination involves coordinating care between healthcare providers, while discharge planning involves planning for patients’ ongoing care needs after they leave the hospital. Care coordination and discharge plan can prevent readmissions by ensuring patients get the appropriate support and follow-up.

Conclusion: Nonacute Care for Cardiorespiratory Issues requires an array of resources that will support the patient’s independence and help prevent readmission. In order to ensure that chronic patients are receiving the right care, coordination of care, and discharging plans, home healthcare services, telehealth programs, patient self-management, education, and education programs as well care coordination and discharge plan, all these services and resources must be available. Non-acute care helps improve outcomes for patients and lower healthcare costs by providing them with resources to help manage symptoms and avoid exacerbations.
