Taiwan Home Nursing - Taiwan’s Person- Centered Care
TAIWAN HOME NURSING Inc. is a pioneering home healthcare organization established in 2018. It was co-founded by the TRIO (Chiu-Jung Wang, Ben Kao, and Scott Chang) and powered by Buurtzorg Asia led by Dr. Stephan Dyckerhoff.
As the tenth international partner of the Buurtzorg oganization from the Netherlands, TAIWAN HOME NURSING Inc. not only practiced the Dutch Buurtzorg’s onion model of care, but also transformed it into a localized model that is suitable for Taiwanese with an upgraded home nursing IT system, interdisciplinary and integrated professionals , and an innovative organizational design focusing on empowered regional teams.
TAIWAN HOME NURSING Inc. aims to provide a nurse- led model of holistic care that revolutionizes the community care in Taiwan. The mission is to help the elders control over their own lives for as long as possible, and strive to maintain or improve their own quality of life by “neighborhood care”.
To achieve this mission, TAIWAN HOME NURSING Inc. has been successful in
- using the peer-coaching technique in care teams,
- supporting self-reliance of the elderly to have their own “new life blueprint”, and
- creating a new Asian model of high-quality home & community care by international experience.
To prevent or delay functional limitations and disabilities in the elderly and improve care manpower are two most urgent social issues that need to be resolved in Taiwan.
Therefore, TAIWAN HOME NURSING Inc. has been building an interdisciplinary and integrated team based care to improve the elderly quality of care by using IT systems, self-managing teams ,and the Buurtzorg’s onion model of care, which starts from the client perspective and works outwards to assemble solutions that bring efficiency and ease.
To ensure care providers are empowered to do what they do best, a key approach is to increase efficiencies and support both the caregivers and the care recipients. TAIWAN HOME NURSING Inc. not only delivers an online IT platform for logistics support, peer-coaching technique, and neighborhood care information, but also modularizes all professional services. By doing so, TAIWAN HOME NURSING Inc. can react to the rapid change of care market and governmental policies, and aim for replication and rapid expansion in the future.
