Visits to patients over 75 years old by teams of social and medical workers.

To avoid overloading doctors, the teams include nursing and junior medical personnel, and the visit is organized within the framework of medical patronage.

1. During visits, a questionnaire is completed indicating:

Current living conditions and satisfaction with them (availability and quality of utilities, living conditions, circle of contacts, etc.);
State of health (heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, etc.).

2. Patients are consulted on the prevention of diseases and diet, the expiration date of drugs is checked, and health exercises are recommended.

3. Social service workers carry out public awareness campaign, check if patients have first-aid kits, blood pressure monitors, thermometers, and monitor the intake of medications prescribed by health workers.

4. Based on the results of the visit, the commission draws up a conclusion, which may provide for referral for inpatient treatment or examination to narrow-profile doctors, as well as the need to meet the specific needs of the patient, both personal and domestic.

Local governments provide assistance in visiting, and heads of rural settlements or their representatives - in access to living quarters.

Since November 2018, rounds of patients over 65 have also been organized. Their goal is to identify those in need of social and medical assistance.
