There are numerous challenges in healthcare. One of the biggest issues right now is lack of talented/qualified staff. For example, in the dental field, hygienists were fairly plentiful and assistants were in short supply. Now, hygienists are critically low - why? - COVID - hygienists are leaving the field because of the additional stress, they don't want to have to wear all of the Personal Protective Equipment required by the Board of Dentistry and the additional patient screening, etc. Some of it is fear based, comfort level or just the unknown. In any case, the reality is a shortage of hygienists.

Now we must get on the solution end and figure out how to recruit, how to keep our current employees content and look to the future with optimism.

case study :

Mr. Green, is 79 years of age and lives at home with his wife Ruby. Mr. Green has been finding daily living activities difficult; Mr. Greens’ General Practitioner has recently diagnosed him with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Sjorgren’s syndrome.

Mr. Green, in his working life was a carpenter and still tries to make his own home repairs around the family home for the last 50 years and at the local elderly citizens club which Ruby and he attend. Up until recently, he was making dolls houses for underprivileged girls; lifting the power tools has become hard on his hands and he cannot stand for long periods of time. Mr. Green states that most of the time he has some degree of pain in his hands, shoulders, hips and knees. He has noticed Ulnar deviation is observed in both hands. The joints of the hands, knees, and feet are oedemateous. Morning stiffness lasts about an hour. His doctor has prescribed him Osteo panadol which he takes 4 times a day which he now believes is not holding the pain to a level he can cope with. He is also taking other medications such as Caltrate 600mg daily and Vitamin D 25mcg daily, Indomethacin 50mg daily. Isopto Carpine 2 drops in both eyes BD. He has admitted to his community nurse who visits them both once a week that at times he cannot open his Webster pack of medications and squeezing the eye drops for his Sjorgens; due to the pain in his finger joints and often misses doses for himself and his wife’s medications as he manages her medications too.

Mr. Green cannot manage his showering or making the bed till at least 10.00am. He is finding as the months go on, the less he manages to do and the longer it takes.

Mr. Green is also concerned for his wife’s health as Mrs. Green is becoming more confused, leaving him to prepare and cook their meals, clean and vacuum and do the washing. Mr. Green, witnessed Ruby put their electric kettle onto the gas stove, where he had to intervene to avoid a fire. Mr. Green does not drive his beloved Commodore anymore and has relinquished his licence due to his slowness and pain. He cannot always get to his Doctor, Pharmacy or supermarket to get the necessary supplies they both need and thinks he could not carry anything anyway with his hands.

The Greens have two adult sons who have left home and established their own families, neither of whom lives within the area.

He wants to ask his sons, but they live too far away and the grandchildren keep the sons busy at the weekends with their sporting activities.

Ruby
