New Episode Drop! Unplugging from the System: A Journey into Direct Primary Care In this episode of Healthcare Americana, Christopher Habig explores the transformative potential of Direct Primary Care (DPC) with Dr. Mazhar Khan from FreedomDoc at Westfield Premier. They discuss DPC’s patient-centered approach, emphasizing quality healthcare based on patient value rather than traditional metrics. Dr. Khan shares compelling anecdotes illustrating DPC’s effectiveness in providing comprehensive care for complex conditions, facilitated by unrestricted time with patients. Reflecting on his transition to DPC, Dr. Khan highlights the shift from volume-based quotas to a patient-focused approach, driven by a desire to prioritize genuine care. Christopher underscores DPC’s proactive stance towards healthcare, advocating for its adoption among young doctors to transform the healthcare landscape. https://bit.ly/3Tcg9Dd

Do you know how many different initiatives there have been to try and improve access to GP services in the UK? Or for how long the issue has been on the agenda? If you’ve ever caught yourself complaining about not being able to get to see your GP, you’re not alone. According to research into public perception, 65% of people believe that access to GP services has got worse in the past year, but in truth, improving access to GP services has been under discussion for more than 40 years. Even though there are now fewer GPs in England than there were in 2015, they are actually delivering record numbers of appointments, and around 40% of them on the day they’re booked. So, if the issue isn’t just about supply, what are the other reasons that people aren’t getting the healthcare services they need? There are clearly other factors influencing people’s decisions to book an appointment, including how much they know about their own health and the healthcare services available to them, and the barriers – real or perceived – that stop them reaching out for help. As part of a larger study into improving access to primary care (https://ths.im/3S6TxEc) – a joint project carried out by the Health Foundation and THIS Institute – we looked at every initiative that had been tried since 1983 to improve access. Everything from GP triage, community pharmacy, extended hours and reducing bureaucracy in the practices themselves, it’s all recorded in this list of more than 400 efforts that have already been made to improve access to general practice. Read the list of initiatives: Options for improving access to general practice (https://ths.im/3xZIhCU) Jake Beech, a policy fellow from the Health Foundation, spoke to GP Online about the project, what the ‘candidacy framework’ is, and how it might be used to help GPs understand their patients and develop solutions that actually suit their needs. Listen to Jake’s podcast here: https://ths.im/3W2X7AB In a recently published paper, we also look at how access to general practice might be understood differently to access to other healthcare services, again using the candidacy framework- this work illustrates important insights for those working in practice and in policy aiming to improve patients experience of access. https://ths.im/3W5YK0v

Here's a fine example of what it means to be #ruralstrong in healthcare. Nice work, Ken Westman, on thinking outside the box by creating a network with other #ruralhospitals. It's so important how you're able to remain independent so you're able to serve your communities. https://lnkd.in/gW5VW29U

Most Maine hospitals struggle to be profitable; patients are forgoing care because they can’t afford it; and employers are just about tapped out on how many more dollars they can devote to employee benefits. It seems like the healthcare system isn’t working for anyone, so what can we possibly do? Nearly a year of collaboration with our Maine hospital systems to understand their delivery system finances has taught us that there’s no easy answer. The movement of dollars through the system is complicated (understatement of the year!), and no two hospitals systems are the same. Despite this understanding, though, we do believe that there are steps every hospital can take to improve the value of our healthcare system. At our upcoming event on June 6th, Steve Littleson, CEO of Central Maine Healthcare, will help us better understand the challenges facing our state’s hospitals, and our keynote speaker, Dr. Peter Pronovost, will outline the opportunity and strategy for making hospital care safer and more affordable for everyone. This is a great opportunity to learn more about this issue that impacts all Mainers and think about how we can work together towards a better solution.

California makes healthcare accessible to all residents! In an era where access to healthcare is more crucial than ever, California has taken a groundbreaking step forward. From January 1st, 2024, a new policy has been enacted, ensuring that all residents of California, regardless of their legal status, have access to healthcare services. This progressive move not only champions the basic human right to healthcare but also sets a commendable example for other states to follow. This policy is a testament to California's commitment to inclusivity and health equity. By recognizing healthcare as a fundamental right, the state has prioritized the well-being of its residents, ensuring that no individual is left behind due to their legal status. This is a bold step, acknowledging the diverse fabric of California's population and the inherent dignity of each person. While it's undeniable that this policy comes with its set of challenges, including financial implications, the long-term benefits might far outweigh the costs. Access to healthcare services means preventative care, early detection of diseases, and timely treatment, which can save lives and reduce long-term healthcare costs for the state. As residents of California and members of the broader global community, it's our responsibility to not take this monumental policy for granted. Instead, we should actively support and appreciate the efforts of the California government in making healthcare accessible to all. This policy is more than just a legislative change; it's a bold statement that healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and it's an essential step towards a healthier, more equitable society. Let's celebrate this achievement and continue to advocate for policies that ensure everyone, regardless of their background or legal status, has access to the healthcare services they need. The path towards universal healthcare is long and fraught with challenges, but with continued effort and commitment, it is achievable. California's recent policy development is a beacon of hope and a call to action for all of us who believe in the fundamental right to health. God bless humanity! Sincerely Masoud Juya MD, MS, PhD
