The Medical Team:a/The doctor is the basis of the model of care. He bears the responsibility of patient care. This professional should have the normal accreditation in his district as well as a training in this type of medicine. He should dispose of direct access to ambulance services and admission privileges In case of emergency. He should have all normal credentials to allow him to practice in his field either he is in general practice, family doctor, a cardiologist or any other speciality.b/ The nurse too.This nurse should have her licensing and a training in this model of providing care. She is essential in monitoring clinically and transmitting the correct information to the doctor by in-person visits or staying at the bedside of the patient depending on the degree of care provided. This applies too to the medical assistant.c/ The physiotherapist essential in rehabilitation programs at home responsible for improving the physical condition and leading to dependency as much as possible.d/ Laboratory services should be available upon request with mobile blood extractions and all needed services.e/ Imaging services should mobile and possible at the bedside of the patient. This can be done by a trained technician providing these services at home and data sent to the radiologist for assessment.f/ Emergency services should be available 24/7 to ensure the safety of the patient in case his condition needs acute care in the a specialized hospital.3. The Patient:We should have and construct confidence of the patient with this model. It is new relatively but our actual patients are more or less into social media and got used to get information social, economic, political, and medical as well. The patient should be used not to have the doctor in person but through a screen, to trust the health worker on his bedside to operate some of the equipment and rely on the output of information it gives. The patient training is already on through unlimited number of sites that give information and training where some of them are run by none or bad commercial professionals and here too we need to create a trusted web where the patient can go and receive trusted information. We can imagine the interference of legal professional bodies like the Department of Hhealth of the professional medical bodies to regulate on medical sites and avoid fake news as might say M. Trump!Conclusion:This is a medical model to be built. It raises many issues while it solves others. Before the telescope we used to see thousands of stars in the sky on which we ignored almost everything. With the advent of the telescope, a great invention, we are seeing millions of stars on which we still ignore everything. Advances might create more ignorance than knowledge but it means that we are on the way to better understanding. HTTHIS NEW MODEL POSES NEW CHALLENGES IN TERMS OF MEDICAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND LIABILITIES THAT ARE YET TO BE RESOLVED, AS WELL AS MANY OTHER PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE CONFRONTED.
