Wednesday, September 11, 1985 Vernal Express 9 TipsfoLbetterhealth Choosing right medical facility wide variety of medical facilities to prospective patients... hospital, emergency rooms, extended care centers, doctors offices and home health care. There are choices for most tastes and for the satisfaction of most individuals. Its important to know the facilities in your area and make your choices BEFORE you need the services. To select the best facilities, you need to understand the terms primary, secondary, and tertiary care. Primary medical care is provided by the physician in the office, at the emergency room or in a clinic. Secondary care is that afforded by the typical community hospital and the physicians involved may be specialists or subspecialists. Access to secondary care requires referral of a physician. Many times a large part of secondary care is or hospital care. Tertiary care includes special and extraordinary procedures and is found at university affiliated hospital and regional referral centers. When you select a medical facility, you want close primary care with good access to secondary care. Tertiary care is often a great distance from home, and may never by needed during your lifetime.

As a young man he worked on a farm for Am Caldwell. He operated heavy equipment for Red Stewart and worked for Doug Chew on his ranch herding sheep. Later he worked on a farm for Ralph Chew. He worked at the Gilsonite Mine as a miner and a heavy equipment operator. He spent his last years at the mine as a hoist man. After retiring from the Gilsonite Mine at age 65, he worked as the custodian at the Jensen Cemetery. Mr. Moon was an outdoorsman and loved all animals, especially horses. He loved to go camping. One of his greatest pleasures was taking his boys rabbit hunting on a Saturday afternoon. He was a superb marksman. Few people could shoot better than he. During the deer season (at daybreak of the opening day) you could always find him on the mountain and ready to hunt. The hospital is expensive. It is not a home or hotel. It saves lives and it takes them. It must be used and it must be avoided. To manage these contradictions, the need for hospitalization for you or your family must be carefully considered in each instance. Dont use the hospital if services can be performed outside the hospital. The acute general hospital does acute general medicine well ; it does not do other functions well. Dont use the hospital for a rest; it is not a good place to rest well. It is noisy, unfamiliar, and populated with strange roommates. Its nights are punctuated with interruptions and it has an unusual time schedule. Dont use the hospital for convenience of having a number of tests done in a few days. It does not provide tests in the most efficient manner; indeed, most laboratories and facilities are not open on the weekends, holidays or late evenings. Most special tests may require several days to schedule. The emergency room has become the physician for many patients, who cannot find a physician at night, or who dont know where else. The typical emergency room is now filled with nonemergency cases. illnesses and routine problems should be taken care of when physicians offices are open and not left until emergency services must be utilities. Even though the emergency room was not designed for the purpose of caring for nonemergent problems, it does a surprisingly good job of delivering adequate care with referral back to the family physician for followup. The major disadvantages to emergency room rr,edical care is the cost and the lack of continuance of care. The emergency is much more costly than a physicians office visit. The ER must be staffed 24 hours a day with a physician and a registered nurse. Patients seeking care at the emergency room pay for this cost. Emergency rooms make little provision for continued care. The ER physician will care for the immediate problem, however, it is up to the patient to seek follow-u- p care from his or her family doctor. If the patient has no family physician, the ER staff can offer referral suggestions. The smoothly functioning emergency room is a dramatic place and one of the finest examples of a service profession at work. A highly specialist coordination of service takes place between the community EMTs, the hospital services, and the tertiary care centers. Using me emergency room wisely, it can be a most valuable resource. Same day surgery centers have appeared recently in response to the high cost of hospital care. Minor surgical procedures can be done at the hospital and the patient can go home the same day if there are no complications Obviously the patient must be in good health and the physician must determine if this is a good option for the patient. Extended care centers provide a variety of long term and rehabilitative care. These facilities have a full staff of nursing, physical theraphy, dietary and physician professionals. The extended care center can provide services at a lesser cost than an acute care hospital because the size of the staff and the acute care services are not offered. This type of care is affordof setting and ed in a more home-typ- e can accelerate the healing process for the patient who no longer requires acute hospital care, but who is not ready to return home. Home health care provides skilled nursing and therapy services in the patients home. Like an extended care facility, home health care is an excellent option for the person who does not require acute hospital services. In many cases, home health care can help bridge the gap between hospital care and returning home, especially when the patient lives alone or when a terminal disease situation occurs. You never know when you wall need health care services. Plan the usage of these services as you would other services that you might need. You may even wish to visit the facilities in your area and find out specifically what they have to offer. Thoughtful usage of health services can save you money, time and some of the apprehension and anxiety associated with illness. By noon, he could be found at home hanging his deer.
