A nurse's home visit is addressing those customers who want to access a high-quality and prompt health advice by an experienced practicing nurse without leaving a home. The nurse can, if necessary, carry out a health examination on the spot or conduct a (blood, urine) analysis to detect inflammation or other complications. The nurse may consult during the visit with an experienced family physician represented on MinuDoc platform and they can decide together on a necessary treatment approach.

The nurse's visit is conducted under medical supervision and in close cooperation with the doctor. The consultation is also documented into the patient's digital health record so that it can be accessed by both the client and the client's family doctor.

You can book a home visit from the Minudoc web. For this, please choose a nurse from Home Visit section and select a suitable time. In order to do this, please proceed to the nurse's profile, select the suitable time, authorize yourself via your mobile ID, Smart ID or ID card, enter your home address, describe the problem briefly, and pay a visit fee for your visit.

Your booking is transferred in real time to the nurse, who has to accept it. Once the nurse accepts your booking, you will receive an email notification and invoice for the service you have paid for. If the booking is not accepted, we will refund you the money.

Please stay at home at the agreed time. A nurse will either call you or ring the doorbell, introduce herself and, if necessary, present you with an identity document.

If you are not at home at the agreed time and do not respond to phone calls, we will consider the service provided, as the time spent on commute will be lost for the medical consultant.

The typical length of a visit on site is 20-30 minutes, but may be longer or shorter depending on the case.
