Our hospitals offer highly specialized staff and full service support teams to provide interdisciplinary services to individuals with the following needs or conditions:

• Medically Complex: These patients require daily monitoring and intervention by health care professionals. This can include, but is not limited to, forms of intervention such as:

  Long term IV therapy Infectious Diseases Multi-system Failure Cardiovascular Diseases Sepsis

  Cancer Neurological Conditions Renal Disorders Nutritional Impairment Congestive Heart Failure

• Ventilator Management: When patients admitted to Dubuis, are dependent upon mechanical ventilation, they require 24 hour respiratory management, ventilator weaning or ventilator dependence management, constant monitoring, and multiple or complex interventions by specialized, professioncal staff. Patients often have dysfunctions that involve multi-system failure such as COPD or respiratory failure.

• Respiratory Rehabilitation: Medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, pulmonary fibrosis, or muscular dystrophy have compromised the respiratory systems of these oxygen dependant patients. In addition, the rehabilitation process is complicated by medically necessary monitoring and intervention.

• Wound Management: Servere wounds, including infected and necrotic conditions that fail to heal with traditional treatment, may require special therapy beds, protective devices, and frequent repositioning. In addition to IV antibiotics and nutritional support, wound care patients may require specialized therapies, such as whirlpool, tissue replacement and rehabilitation services.

All Dubuis patients must be referred by a physician. Once referred, each patient will be evaluated to ensure that they meet the Dubuis admission criteria. When accepted, our patients are assigned individual goals and treatment plans developed by a multidisciplinary team. Throughout the patients stay, Dubuis focuses on the whole person, providing holistic care that includes both the emotional and spiritual needs of that patient.
