Ambulatory Care - What is it?
Ambulatory care is about treating patients, with suitable conditions, in places
other than hospital, normally their own home in conjunction with local doctor.
Ambulatory care allows the patient to have a very active role in decision making
about their health care in conjunction with a team of highly skilled professionals
including doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapist, Social worker
and Pharmacists.
People have a choice as to whether they would like to participate in the program
and it is a service provided at no cost to the patient, although Medicare bulk
billing is done in some cases.
