[ad_1]

The French National Authority for Health launched its first mobile application for health home hospitalization at the end of 2018: ADOP-HAD. Discovery.

Hospitalization at health home (HAD) is a fully-fledged form of hospitalization. It is intended for patients with complex clinical and psychosocial situations, regardless of their age. It provides continuous and coordinated medical and paramedical care at the patient's health home, which differs from that usually provided at health home by its technicality, frequency or duration and by the intervention of a coordinated and medicalized multidisciplinary team. .

Designed for all city or hospital prescribing doctors, the mobile application ADOPT-HAD is a decision support tool for referral of patients in HAD (Hospitalization At health home).

The objective is to assess in less than a minute whether a patient is eligible for HAD, regardless of their age and clinical situation, whether they are in hospital, at health home, in a medico-social establishment or social with accommodation.

In case of eligibility, admission is at the discretion of the HAD team in consultation with the attending physician after informing and agreeing with the patient and his entourage.

Whatever the response provided by the tool, it is essential to respect the principles related to the rights and interests of the patient: to ensure the free choice of the patient and those around him as to the possibilities of treatment and to privilege the team already involved in health home care.

ADOP-HAD is the 1st mobile application which has been developed by the French National Authority for Health. It is based on an algorithm developed with the support of a working group made up of experts associating patient representatives.

This application offers a summary, downloadable in PDF format, of the different checked criteria that can be kept in the patient file and used in discussions with the HAD team. It offers information on HAD: care methods, definitions and examples of practices illustrating certain eligibility criteria.

It is to be used as far upstream as possible in the patient's care path, making it possible to envisage the discharge of the hospitalized patient as soon as possible or to encourage them to remain in their living environment.

The application is available on theApp store and Google Play.
