Question

How to reduce the emotional burden that home treatment can bring about to the team members?

Problem description

The well-being or mental hygiene of our team.  Caused by the lack of experience with ambulatory work.   The majority of the visits are performed in pairs, which represents already a rather consequent work load (medication management, alcohol withdrawal at home).  Social isolation or a current lack of entourage, but also the administrative management of the whole, can only increase the burden

Impact - effect

Too much involvement of team members in the situations

To do

To do: in the ERIC-team, the work is exclusively organised in pairs, and the team can rely on an experience of 20 years.  We need to strengthen the links between team members.  An particular effort is to increase the collaborations that should be developed with the network (which is sometimes reluctant in establishing collaborative relationships).
