When a rare uterine rupture turned life-threatening for Stephanie Dupont and her son, Levi, care teams from three M Health Fairview hospitals raced to save their lives. After hours of surgery and a day of recovery, Stephanie was reunited with her son in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Now, both mom and baby are getting stronger every day, while the whole family is grateful for the care they’ve received. "I cannot give the doctors and nurses … enough credit,” said Jake, Stephanie’s husband. “They were there when we needed them the most. The level of care, the level of knowledge, compassion, and empathy along the way was something I’ve never experienced before.” Read their full story. ➡ https://bit.ly/3VQZxlU

What happens when patients lack access primary care? A new study looking at the impacts of living in primary care shortage areas showed higher rates of emergency surgery, serious complications, and hospital readmissions. Those in areas with the most severe shortages were also more likely to have serious complications. But it doesn't have to be this way. Pennsylvania can take action to prevent higher rates of emergency surgery and complications by increasing patient access to primary care. Full practice authority for nurse practitioners through SB25 and HB1825 would allow NPs to open clinics and provide care to patients living in primary care shortage areas, which would improve patient health across Pennsylvania and in its underserved communities. Tell PA legislators that Pennsylvanians deserve access to safe, quality primary care services - join PCNP and NPs from across Pennsylvania in Harrisburg on April 30 to advocate for full practice authority!

I recently had my surgery consultation for my Vagal Nerve Stimulator (VNS) change at Banner MD Anderson with Dr Tomeh, and it was like walking into a different world. The immediate warmth and care felt like a welcome embrace—so refreshing compared to my past experiences. I’ll be honest: re-entering a Banner facility was daunting. My previous interactions with them were far from patient-centered. After filing a complaint for poor treatment, I received a dismissive letter that lacked any form of apology or accountability. It felt like neglect, not the care they preach. Yet at MD Anderson, I discovered a true culture of caring. Every person I encountered prioritized my well-being and took the time to listen and understand my concerns. It’s a stark reminder that not all Banner locations uphold the same principles of patient-centered care. 🚗 Sometimes, it’s not just about proximity; it’s about where you feel valued and treated with dignity. To anyone navigating their healthcare journey: don’t settle for less. Seek out environments that embrace compassion and commitment to patient care. You deserve it! #HealthCare #PatientExperience #VNS #BannerMDAnderson #CultureOfCaring #BannerHealth

Founder of Scoliosis Reduction Center, A Leading Expert in Chiropractic Care & Conservative Scoliosis Treatment
Early detection of scoliosis is a critical factor in managing the condition effectively. However, early detection alone isn’t enough—it must be followed by prompt and consistent treatment. If there’s any sign of asymmetrical posture or a family history of scoliosis, it’s essential to seek an x-ray and professional evaluation as soon as possible. Timely intervention can prevent severe progression and reduce the need for surgical intervention. Let’s commit to proactive care for better patient outcomes. #ScoliosisAwareness #SpineHealth #OrthopedicCare #EarlyDetection #PediatricHealth #ChiropracticCare #PreventiveCare #ScoliosisPrevention #SpineCare #HealthManagement

Stakeholder Engagement and Consultation I Evaluation I Quality and Improvement I Creating an effective future direction
This is what you call gaining a patients perspective - love your work RMH. Understanding the patient experience no doubt gives us great guidance on protocols, practices and how to customise healthcare. #patientexperience
In a tremendous show of solidarity for our patients who wear a stoma pouch, more than 40 the RMH staff members participated in the Great Stoma Challenge 2024. More than 47,000 Australians live with a stoma pouch (or bag). Any surgery that involves the removal of part of the bowel or bladder requires a stoma. A stoma is an opening in the abdomen which can be attached to a pouch to remove bodily waste. For Stomal Therapy Awareness Week this year, the RMH stoma team encouraged staff to take part in The Great Stoma Challenge - which involved wearing a stoma bag for up to 72 hours. ”Transitioning to a stoma pouch can be a difficult time for our patients, so we encouraged staff members to wear one for three days to really understand the challenges of having one,” Stomal Therapy Nurse Liz said. Forty nurses, doctors and allied health professionals wore a pouch for 72 hours, all while exercising, looking after kids, showering and working.

🎉 A Triumph of Compassion and Innovation in Surgery! 🎉 Nice to share a good news story…. When a severely burned heavily pregnant patient crossed the path of Dr Nikki Allorto and her team at Greys Hospital in Pietermaritzburg, every effort was made to achieve what at this stage is a remarkable outcome. This patient, a heavily pregnant woman with more than 60% TBSA burns, required immediate intervention. Despite the severity of her condition, an emergency caesarean section was performed, and a healthy baby boy was delivered. However, the mother's condition remained critical. While standard protocols suggested palliative care, Dr Allorto pushed to find a solution that would give the mother a fighting chance at life – this in the hope that her baby boy would enter life with a mother to care for him. Opting to use MEEK Micrografting Technique for the first time at Greys hospital, Dr Nikki contacted our meek team, who arranged for the equipment and team to be present during the surgery. The MEEK Micrografting Technique, an advanced wound care procedure known for its effectiveness in large TBSA burns. Arriving with the equipment, our Meek team supported Dr Allorto in the application of the Meek technique – and she was able to cover the vast majority of the patients burn wounds in that one surgery. To this point the patient is doing well, and although it is early days, we are hopeful for an excellent outcome. This remarkable story is a testament to the power of advanced medical solutions and the unwavering dedication of healthcare professionals. At Instrumental Healthcare, we are proud to support surgeons, nurses, and hospitals in delivering the highest standard of care. Together, we are not just treating wounds; we are transforming lives and giving hope to our communities. --- Feel free to reach out to learn more about how our products and expertise can support your hospital's mission to deliver exceptional patient care. Together, we can make a difference. 🌟 https://lnkd.in/dSzswRmR #HealthcareHeroes #AdvancedWoundCare #SurgicalExcellence #MEEKTechnique #PatientCare #HealthcareInnovation #InstrumentalHealthcare #SavingLives #MedicalSuccessStories

✨ Tues-a-cation..... ✨ Aldrete Score: 🎯 After a surgery or procedure where sedation or medication is administered, a healthcare provider has to determine a patients readiness to go home or back to their inpatient room assignment. 🎯 The Aldrete score is a system used to determine the readiness of post-anesthesia patients for discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) to a second-stage recovery area, inpatient hospital room, or home. 🎯 The Aldrete score consists of five criteria, each of which is assigned a rating of 0, 1, or 2 based on the patient's status. The criteria includes: ☑ Activity- able to ambulate ☑ Respiration- breathing normally and independently ☑ Circulation- Blood pressure back to baseline range (pressures before the procedure) ☑ Consciousness- awake ☑ Oxygen saturation- maintaining oxygenation above 92% on room air, or back to baseline ✅ A score of 9 or higher is generally required for discharge from the PACU. The Aldrete score has been widely used in clinical practice and research as a tool to evaluate post-anesthesia patients. However, there are concerns about its validity and reliability, particularly when used as the sole criteria for discharge. Clinical judgement and comparison of patients before procedure activity is crucial in determining the readiness to be discharged. 🔥 #askusforhelptowinyourcase 🔥 ✨ Contact Us Today! ✨ EM: [email protected] Website: https://lnkd.in/gDzucPDt #nurse #dme #nurseobserver #legalnurse #legalnurseconsultant #medicalrecords #medicalrecordsreview #personalinjury #personalinjuryattorney #medicalmalpractice #medicalmalpracticeattorney #attorney #lasvegas #californialawyer
