Regarding the Acute Hospital Care at Home model, Bipartisan Policy Center wants policymakers to: 1. increase participation in the program 2. gather more data on the quality of the model 3. ensure safety for participating caregivers and patients
Overwhelmed hospitals turned to the Acute Hospital Care at Home model during the pandemic. This approach allowed patients to receive inpatient care at home using technology and flexible staffing, yielding positive outcomes. Without legislative action, the AHCAH program will expire on December 31. While Congress is likely to extend AHCAH for five years, BPC wants policymakers to: 1. increase participation in the program 2. gather more data on the quality of the model 3. ensure safety for participating caregivers and patients Lisa Harootunian, Kamryn Perry, Allison Buffett, MPH, Michele Gazda, MPH, Marilyn Serafini, Bill Hoagland, and Aidan Kennedy

Pioneering Safer Patient Care & Healthcare Efficiency through Toyota Production System Principles | Master Rower & Author
Ever wondered how teamwork—or the lack thereof—can be life-threatening in healthcare? Take the case of Mary, whose severe complications arose from poor team coordination. In 1988, a novice intern under-dosed a crucial medication due to inadequate supervision, leading to a major health crisis. Yet, it was only in the ICU, where intensive teamwork finally prevailed, that Mary found recovery. Explore the critical importance of collaborative healthcare through this gripping account. #Healthcare #Teamwork #PatientSafety #MedicalEducation

Proud to be part of a company that enhances urgent care coordination, elevating healthcare delivery across the UK.
In addition to the enhanced efficiency in admitting, transferring, and discharging patients within four hours, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have also achieved reductions in ambulance wait times and the average time for the first triage of admitted patients. Here's a quick snapshot of their progress: • An increase in ambulance turnarounds under 15 minutes went from 18.13% to 47.39% of visits. • A drop in the average triage time for admitted A&E patients, from 26 minutes to 13 minutes, comfortably meeting the national target of under 15 minutes. We're geared up with numerous innovative projects and developments for this year, aimed at further supporting the Trust's objectives. It is great to be a part of this transformative journey in healthcare. #healthcareinnovation #patientcare #digitaltransformation
Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have improved emergency patient triage efficiency; in 2023, over 1,500 more patients were triaged per month within the target 4 hours compared to the previous year. This achievement highlights the collective commitment to overcoming communication challenges and operational bottlenecks that constrain critical care delivery. Congratulations to the team for their commitment to excellence and patient care! Find out more here - https://lnkd.in/e4CNSiE4 #digitalhealth #emergencycare #patientcare #nhs

🤔 Why is it called D2? Because University Hospital is organized like Battleship coordinates and the addition is to module D, section 2. This will be a fun one to watch rise out of the ground! #hospitals #healthcare #healthcaredesign #edac #interiordesign #LEED #madisonwi #architecture
Exciting development at UW Health University Hospital - The D2 Module Addition is taking shape and will soon begin rising up and out of the ground! Construction has started on this important addition to the hospital. The 101,500 square foot, seven-story, addition will bring 48 additional universal care inpatient beds, an expanded prep-recovery-flex bed unit to our surgery-diagnostic and treatment platform, an expansion of our emergency department and expansion of our facility support services to University Hospital. The tower crane will go up at the end of this month with the building's super structure soon to follow! More remarkable healthcare is on its way to UW Health! #planningdesignconstruction #remarkablehealthcare #uwhealth

As seasonal respiratory Illinesses are on the rise, ERs are overflowing, and hospital beds are at near capacity, I’m reminded on a daily basis why our #UrgentSNF, 24/7 direct admit program is so vital to our healthcare partners. Please take the time to read about our most recent case study, that I was personally able to assist with placement. Scenario: Presenting to the ED from home ,after a recent inpatient stay at Saint Agnes Hospital patient C.M., a 68 year old female was in need of additional physical therapy from being completely decondintioned from a recent COVID diagnosis. A call was made from the Saint Agnes Hospital ER case manager to our #Network #UrgentSNF line. After receiving the ☎️ 📞we quickly worked to place the patient in one of our 3 Baltimore #Marquis #network #SubAcuteRehab Centers, Meadow Park Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center, Orchard Hill Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center, Westgate Hills Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center. We successfully admitted the patient to Meadow Park Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center, where she is received daily inpatient physical therapy for 10 days. The patient was successfully discharged home with #HomeHealth Services by our local LHC Group #HomeCall partner. Benefits: ✅ Unnecessary hospital readmission avoided ✅ 24/7 Network Line ✅Patient Stabilization ✅ Positive patient experience ✅ Safe Discharge Plan ✅ Exceptional Community and Hospital Partnerships ✅ Solution Oriented #WeAreTheResource #SubAcuteRehab #ProgressiveRehabilitation #Marquis #NetworkProvider #WeAreTheSolution

The pandemic really hit home how delicate life is, making us realize something we often forget in patient care—how vital family support is for healing. So many people passed away suddenly without a chance to say goodbye, highlighting just how important the family aspect of the ICU Liberation Bundle truly is. As healthcare professionals, it's our responsibility to not only focus on the clinical aspects of care but also to recognize the profound impact of involving family members in the care of their critically ill loved ones. The question that beckons us is: Are we genuinely incorporating this "F" component of evidence-based practice in our protocols? How effectively are we engaging families in the decision-making process, ensuring their voices are heard and their presence felt? The Path Forward Incorporating family members into the care team not only honors the patient's network of support but also aligns with the best practices for holistic recovery. As we continue to navigate the aftermath of the pandemic, let's renew our commitment to holistic care by: - Enhancing communication with family members, ensuring they are informed, involved, and empowered to contribute to the care process. - Implementing flexible visiting policies that recognize the integral role of family presence in patient recovery. - Providing resources and support to help family members navigate the complexities of critical care, making them partners in care rather than bystanders. #Healthcare #CriticalCare #FamilyEngagement #ICULiberation #PandemicLessons #PatientCare

To address the urgent need for more house calls in Illinois, HCCI launched the Illinois House Call Project (ILHCP) in 2022 with a select group of highly qualified Illinois medical practices. This first cohort is well on its way to exceeding its three-year goal. Due to this success and the ongoing need, HCCI is now offering Illinois practices a period to be exclusively considered, or nominate another practice, for applying to the second cohort of the ILHCP that will launch in early 2024. With the addition of this cohort, the new goal of the ILHCP will be to collectively enroll 6,000 new homebound or home-limited people from 2022 to 2026. The second cohort will include independent entities, those affiliated with hospital systems, specialty groups, and hospice and palliative care programs. Each selected practice will designate up to three “Home Centered Care Champions” to lead their work. HCCI will provide the Champions with expertise, guidance, and comprehensive resources, including education, consulting, tools, market analysis, marketing/PR training, and the opportunity to receive capacity-building funding. To be considered for exclusive access to the ILHCP Cohort 2 application process, or nominate another practice for that access, complete this form by January 12, 2024: https://ow.ly/Urtw50QhnnM #housecalls #healthcare #homecare #homebasedprimarycare
