The new crown pneumonia epidemic is severe. Recently, many people have complained that the elderly are not properly cared for after staying in Asia.
The Hospital Authority stated in a press conference on the epidemic today (15th) that the treatment facility is temporarily unable to shower for bedridden patients, admitting that the practice is not ideal, but it will regularly turn around and clean the skin of the patients.
In addition, the Hong Kong government earlier proposed to the central government to send mainland medical staff to Hong Kong for support, and the first batch of 75 medical personnel arrived in Hong Kong yesterday.
The Hospital Authority stated that mainland medical and nursing staff have already understood and familiarized themselves with the environment at the Aboa Community Treatment Facility, and will start treating patients within a few days.

Will wipe the body of the patient in bed
Liu Jiaxian, Chief Administrative Manager (Quality and Standards) of the Hospital Authority, said that due to the limitations of venues and facilities, and the need to concentrate manpower to take care of more serious patients, he admitted that the treatment facilities are temporarily unable to shower for bedridden patients.
He emphasized that he understands that the relevant practice is not ideal, and I hope everyone will understand.
He also pointed out that the medical staff of the treatment facility will assess the patients in a timely manner, and try to turn around, change diapers and clean the skin of the patients at regular intervals.
He believes that the quality of patient care can be improved after the mainland medical organizations join, and will regularly review the current workflow and service scope for improvement.

I believe my colleagues can help mainland doctors and nurses communicate with patients
As for the mainland medical team to assist Hong Kong, Liu Jiaxian said that the HA has already dispatched special personnel to assist, including explaining the procedures for admitting patients, the application of clinical systems, prescription drugs, first aid, and arrangements for medical procedures.
In order to cooperate with the work of the Mainland medical team, the medical system, medical list and work flow of the community treatment facilities have been added to the Chinese interface, which is convenient for Mainland medical staff to use.
Liu Jiaxian mentioned that the first batch of mainland medical staff to come to Hong Kong came from Guangdong Province, and many of them also knew Cantonese.
He also pointed out that the current system in Hong Kong mainly uses English. As far as he understands, many mainland doctors and nurses can read English. In operation, Chinese rotation has been added to facilitate communication. Hong Kong shares its experience.

Honorary employees are nothing new
Liu reiterated that the medical team from the Mainland will work as an "honorary employee". For the honorary employee to work in the HA, the relevant insurance and patient protection clauses are also applicable and the same, and the identity is the same as the medical staff of the HA. The HA will take the ultimate responsibility for the treatment problems encountered by the team.
He also added that "honorary employees" are not new. In the past, private doctors and university doctors were "honorary employees" of the HA. They could also consult and prescribe medicines in the HA.
