Summary
OBJECTIVE. To describe the introduction of an advanced care mobile health service staffed by nurses.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. Description of emergency calls attended by the service in the first 10 weeks of operation in the primary health care district of the metropolitan area of Granada, Spain. Variables analyzed were patient age, sex, reasons for calling for emergency care, level of priority, and resources applied.
RESULTS. The service attended 345 emergency calls, for a mean (SD) number of 4.86 (2.14) calls per day. One hundred thirty-eight patients (40%) were men, with a mean age of 74.52 (18.40) years. The mean age for women was 76.47 (16.91). The majority of calls corresponded to level 3 priority (63.3%). Two hundred forty-eight patients (78.9%) were discharged after care; 91 (36.69%) of the discharged patients were men, and 157 (63.30%) were women.
CONCLUSION. An advanced care mobile health service staffed by nurse specialists is useful for out-of-hospital care and substantially alleviates hospital caseloads.
