Dietary service
Dietary counseling is offered to both inpatients requiring diet therapy and outpatients with a doctor's prescription.
Nutrition is becoming a complex information field in which it is increasingly difficult to navigate. For this reason, specialists at the multisite hospital EOC offer their expertise by providing specific guidance in the field of diet and finding the right fit between the patient's clinical picture, medications, eating habits and lifestyle. This approach allows dietary counselors to set up individualized food therapy to support each patient's medical care.
Dietary counseling is available for the following problems:
- Allergy.
- Celiac disease.
- Diabetes.
- Dyslipidemia.
- Gout.
- Food intolerances.
- Malnutrition.
- Kidney disease and dialysis.
- Gastrointestinal diseases.
- Oncological diseases.
- Overweight/obesity.
Social service
The social service intervenes in the intake of patients in need, so as to create contact with services in the area with the aim of finding a solution to the patient's problems.
The social worker listens, supports the patient and his family, offers information and counseling, proceeds to an assessment of the social situation and resources of the patient trying in every way to promote his autonomy and social integration. She also plans, coordinates and participates in the implementation of decisions made with the patient, family, caregivers and outside services.
The social worker abides by the obligation of professional secrecy during the various stages of intervention.
Psychiatry and medical psychology service
On medical indication, the patient may be received during his or her stay in EOC facilities by counselors from the Cantonal Sociopsychiatric Organization's Psychiatry and Medical Psychology Service. Specialist consultations are especially recommended for those suffering from chronic or severely disabling illnesses or those in post-traumatic situations.
These consultations make it possible to take care of the emotional aspects related to the patient's state of health, support participation in treatment and aim to prevent a state of psychological distress.
