Most patients prefer to stay at the comfort of their own home while recovering from an illness or an accident instead of staying in a hospital or other healthcare facilities. This is made possible by the durable medical equipment or any medical equipment that are used to aid patients at home. To be considered as a DME, equipment must comply with the following requirements: (1) allows individuals to perform tasks that are otherwise impossible or difficult to do without the aid of an equipment; (2) provides therapeutic benefits; (3) durable and can withstand repeated use; (4) used to serve a medical purpose; (5) generally not suitable for people without an illness or injury; and (6) appropriate for home use and can be transferred to other locations to enable an individual or patient to complete activities of daily living (ADL) and even instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Activities of daily living (ADLs) are self-care activities such as transfers, toileting, grooming and hygiene, dressing, bathing, and eating while instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) are activities associated with independent living like preparing meals, managing money, shopping, doing housework and using a telephone.
DME may include iron lungs, oxygen tents, hospital beds, and wheelchairs, blood-testing strips and blood glucose monitors for diabetics, potty chairs, canes, lifts and other similar equipment, among others. Generally, DME are used by individuals at home or institutions like nursing home or assisted living facility. It can either be rented or purchased. Prescribed by healthcare providers in coordination with home health agency, DME may be provided by suppliers specializing in the equipment. This helps most people afflicted with a certain condition and injury to have an enhanced quality of life.
