Home medical assistance is a market in the health industry. In order to help patients thrive at home, health service providers have gradually expanded their services by visiting patients and developing a range of home support services.
Home health care or home medical assistance is the treatment provided to patients in their homes and generally involves the use of medical equipment. However, it is important to distinguish between home medical assistance (home care) from home hospitalization (otherwise known as the home hospitalization program), the second requiring more intensive care.
In general, home medical assistance aims to help people 3 types of patients following:
Patients with disabilities or chronic diseases (such as those requiring recurrent treatment);
The elderly who can live at home but need regular monitoring of their health status;
Patients recovering from an accident or injury and who require physiotherapy (EA) or regular occupational therapy.
The German market has been growing rapidly, at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2010 to 2020, and it is expected to continue on this trend in the following years. It is mainly driven by the ageing population and increasing of long-term conditions which require comprehensive, continuous care.
As demand increases, the government has faced the issue of understaffed nursing homes and hospitals by implementing provisions in order to appropriately care for the elderly.
