Great article below on the benefits of seeing the same GP each and every time you visit your local surgery. According to the study the impact could be the equivalent of increasing the GP workforce by 5%, significantly benefiting both patients and the NHS. With Four-week waits hitting a record high in 2023, with 17.6m appointments taking place at least 28 days after being booked, the study also noted that if all GP practices moved to a model where patients saw the same doctor at each visit, it would significantly reduce doctors’ workloads while improving patient health. Indeed, seeing the same GP – continuity of care – meant people waited on average 18% longer between visits, compared with patients who saw different doctors. Combine this with accessible health literacy and the effects could be enormous. What do you think of the idea of seeing the same GP when you visit your local surgery – a great idea? #healthcare #patienteducation #patientexperience #patientcare #digitalhealthcare

For perioperative leaders, async video tech is a no-brainer. All your nurses are repeating themselves over and over like a broken record. But the patient hears it once. They don't retain it. They have to re-ask the questions. The nurses have to respond to the questions again. The patient shows up to surgery unprepared. The surgery may even get cancelled. And around and around we go. This process is simplified and streamlined with async video tech. The patient receives the videos. Patients watch the videos at home, in their own language, with their loved ones, as many times as they need. We increase operational efficiencies while also improving patient experience & outcomes.

The Quest for Faster Room Turnover By: Margaret Wasserman READY, SET... OR turnover time is most efficient when everyone is on the same page, using the same definition of room turnover. Why do we obsess over turnover time? It's simple: Time is money and highly resource-intensive OR time is incredibly expensive. And besides being a source of lost revenue, room delays can frustrate surgeons, staff and patients. 9. Manage the back table. It's a good idea to regularly review pack contents and physician preference cards to eliminate seldom or never-used items and to, in turn, streamline setup and teardown times. 𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 and limit doctor-specific trays as much as possible. At the same time, you can review instrument trays' contents and attempt to eliminate seldom or never-used items. In addition, whenever possible, leave instruments in their trays to avoid wasting time setting them out individually.

Today’s episode of trial consulting nuggets. Hospital fall cases. When analyzing a hospital fall case if you only gather the provider notes, nursing notes and vitals you are likely missing the bigger picture. It’s not enough to identify the obvious risks, and mitigate them, but all risks need to be considered, minimized, monitored, implemented and communicated. The records need to be evaluated for the WHY. What conditions led to the fall? Did they require an assistive device that was not available within reach? Was their diet restricted for labs or pending surgery? Did cleaning staff inform the patient that the floor had been cleaned and mopped? Was there a change in the patient’s condition or medication? Just to name a few. Failure to complete a deep dive into the records could leave you scrambling at trial when your theory falls apart. If you want it done right….

When you hear the words "time out" what comes to mind? Are you thinking about that much needed vacation? Or could it be a "pause for the cause"? Earlier this month marked the 20th anniversary of the National Time Out Day. You may be wondering exactly what is the time out... Think about the last time you or a loved one had a medical procedure or surgery. Each medical professional along the way confirmed your name, date of birth and procedure being performed. Then in the OR a much formal process took place for confirming all the details and it's called “time out”. In addition to taking that much needed time off, how can you ensure patient safety in your practice particularly during any procedures requiring sedation. How do you proactively ensure no preventable mistakes occur? Here are five key tips adapted from the Association for peri-Operating Room Nurses (AORN) that you can adapt to your practice or organization. 1. Standardize your time out process and use it consistently throughout your practice or organization. 2. Involve all team members who will be assisting in the time out. 3. Designate one team member to call for the time out. 4. Stop all unnecessary activities when the time out is called. 5. Document the time out in the patient record. Be sure to include the time of the time out and confirm the all details of the case, such as patient name, date of birth, procedure to be performed, implant, etc. Little things can make a HUGE difference when it comes to patient safety. If you would like to know more about raising the bar for patient safety in your practice or organization, simply send me a message. I’m always available to answer a question!
