Patrik Hutzel: Hi, my name is Patrik Hutzel from intensivecareathome.com where we provide tailor-made solutions for long-term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies at home.

Welcome to another podcast here at intensivecareathome.com and today I have a very special guest, Kristi Gilbert. Kristi Gilbert is a CCRN, a critical care nurse by background, but also a legal nurse consultant.

Kristi, why don’t you introduce yourself to our audience and then we will go into what we want to talk about today?

Kristi Gilbert: Thanks, Patrik. Thanks for the introduction. I’ve been in nursing for just over 30 years now. It’s gone really quickly. Most of that was in intensive care and emergency departments. My career took a bit of a change just before COVID when I got the opportunity to work as a legal nurse consultant, and that side of my nursing has really grown as its own business now. Also, COVID promoted a change in my career into community nursing and palliative care. So, I’ve got a graduate diploma in critical care and I’m now doing a master’s in advanced nursing as a nurse practitioner in palliative care. It’s an interesting space.

Patrik Hutzel: Yeah, that’s fantastic. I know with you doing palliative care in the community, you see a lot of the things that we are seeing with Intensive Care at Home. You see the benefits of home care, but you’ve also observed some of the negatives of home care, and that’s also something we want to talk about today.

Kristi has done a lot of work for us in the last two years, with some specialist nursing assessments for our clients, predominantly for our clients on ventilation with tracheostomy, but also for some clients with tracheostomy that are not ventilated, and also for some clients on non-invasive ventilation, BIPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure), CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), and it’s been great to have you on board Kristi, with those nursing assessments. They are very, very detailed.

Kristi Gilbert: Thanks.

Patrik Hutzel: And really gives the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) no way out to fund support worker, what can’t even be done by a registered nurse, which needs to be done by critical care registered nurses in the community, which is all we do here at Intensive Care at Home. So, it’s been really great to give us your deep dive of those assessments. We have been doing them for the last 10 years and they’ve always gotten the funding for the clients. But yours are so much more detailed because of your legal nurse consultant qualification as well, and your extensive critical care nursing experience. So that’s been really great.

Now, we sometimes have clients come to us and they say, “Hey, we know we need your service, but we don’t have the funding.” Then I say to them, “Look, you need an NDIS Support Coordinator, and then once you’ve got an NDIS Support Coordinator, we can help you with a detailed specialist NDIS nursing assessment.”

Can you talk a little bit about what those assessments look like from your perspective? I know what they look like, but for our audience, can you explain it more?
