Abstract

Proper management of the Corona pandemic is one of the most critical issues causing a serious crisis for the health care system in all countries. This management includes the prevention, treatment and control of complications. Due to the large number of cases in the recent pandemic and the limited health facilities in the hospitals, the use of more cost-effective solutions, especially home care and the use of telemedicine in the management of coronavirus is increasing day by day.

Candidates for home treatment must meet certain requirements, including the stability in the patient’s general condition, the possibility of care taking at home by other family members or health care staff, access to personal protective equipment (at least gloves and masks), and not having people with heart, lung or kidney disease among the people living at home. It is also necessary to monitor the person's symptoms regularly. If the patient's symptoms worsen, especially in cases of shortness of breath, worsening of the coughs, decreased level of consciousness or fever for more than 5 days, there is a need to contact the medical system. Providing home care treatment solutions can be considered as a part of Transformation management in the recent Corona epidemic.
