VTPC participation in the remote meeting of the Latvian Association of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease Physicians

On February 19 of this year, a remote meeting of the Latvian Association of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease Physicians is taking place. It is attended by employees of the Vaivari Technical Aids Centre (VTPC): service delivery process manager Vita Deičmane, financial and administrative process manager Madara Vītola, and customer service specialist Indra Poškusa. VTPC representatives discuss their and their colleagues' experiences in providing the service “home oxygen therapy.” They clarify the topic “Long-term oxygen therapy at home – best practices and system cornerstones.” Indra explains how cooperation occurs in providing this service. Doctors, patients, patients' relatives, VTPC, and service providers collaborate. She also clarifies important nuances on how to properly formulate referrals and opinions. This is important for the patient to receive the service quickly. We remind you that to ensure long-term oxygen therapy at the patient's home, VTPC must submit: 1) a patient-signed application (original) for receiving the assistive device; 2) the treating physician's opinion in e-health with AAGĀ (the request for the preparation of the opinion should be communicated to VTPC). The application form can be found on the VTPC website in the section “Documents to be submitted.” VTPC also accepts applications written in free form.
