BECKER'S COMPILES LIST OF HOSPITALS PATIENTS ARE MOST LIKELY TO RECOMMEND USING CMS DATA: Becker's has compiled a list of the hospitals patients are most likely to recommend in every state using Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems data from CMS. CMS shares 10 HCAHPS star ratings based on publicly reported HCAHPS measures. The recommended hospital star rating is based on patients' responses to the question, "Would you recommend this hospital to your friends and family?" Hospitals must have at least 100 completed HCAHPS surveys in a four-quarter period to be eligible for a star rating. Learn more about the methodology here. The star rating is based on survey data collected from hospital patients from October 2022 through September 2023. The figures are from CMS' Provider Data Catalog and were released July 31. The hospitals that received five stars for patient recommendations in FLORIDA are: 96th Medical Group (Eglin Air Force Base) Gulf Breeze Hospital HCA Florida Twin Cities Hospital (Niceville) Mayo Clinic (Jacksonville) Mease Dunedin Hospital Morton Plant Hospital (Clearwater) Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast (Miramar Beach) Sarasota Memorial Hospital-Venice (North Venice) St. Anthony's Hospital (Saint Petersburg) Viera Hospital (Melbourne) #FLHOSPITALSRECOMMENDEDBYPATIENTS #PatientSatisfaction #hospitals #recommendation #customerservice #goodpatientcare #friendsandfamily #FHA #Medicaid #Florida #AHCA

Working with senior hospital clinicians to help them prevent burnout so that they can rediscover balance and joy at work.
What would you choose for your 'patient': The NHS. Is it for resuscitation or palliation? As our patient's condition declines, and the obs chart shows mounting pressures and challenges, they need careful review. What were the founding principles and core values? What would its 'advance directives' be? Are the guiding philosophies of providing comprehensive, equitable healthcare free at the point of delivery have historically shaped the NHS's identity still possible. If they are not being met to the standard initially envisaged, is it a step too far and a ceiling of care indicated? From a clinical lens, the doctor evaluates the NHS's current physiological state and disease process – its financial health, resource constraints, staffing shortages, and inability to meet the evolving needs of the population. What are the potential benefits of attempting an intensive resuscitation through injections of funding, restructuring, and policy overhauls against the burdens such interventions could entail, such as disruptions to care continuity, public backlash, or unintended consequences. Would it extend life but not quality of life? Palliative care could be managed by downscaling or restructuring of services, acknowledging the system's limitations and focusing on providing high-quality, compassionate care within a sustainable framework. But at what cost? Cutting back to a skeletal system where any added benefits are only reserved for those with funds? In the climate of purdahs, promises and manifestos (made to be broken) there needs to be respect for the public's autonomy in shaping the future of healthcare, ensuring beneficence by acting in the best interests of the nation' s health, avoiding maleficence by minimising harm or erosion of care standards, and upholding justice by allocating resources fairly. There may be no perfect solution, but the clinicians know the real challenges and cost of the current fiscal environment all too well.

Studies have shown that primary care and appropriate referrals to specialty care physicians (SCP) are the keys to success in value-based care (VBC). Even better, physician led ACOs have shown better results than hospital led ACOs. One of the features I love in Acclivity is the ability to review the performance of the SCPs who see patients in your panel and compare risk adjusted cost metrics -ask me to show you! https://okt.to/FJ6lTM

While not all implementations of this Medicare initiative have been successful, it is a great option for at-risk patients. This initiative can provide healthcare systems with an opportunity to establish a lower-cost ecosystem for acute-level care, particularly for patients with lower risk DRGs. These patients are usually redirected to community outpatient or home health services that may not be adequately equipped to handle their needs. Additionally, this initiative can allow payers to reduce the cost of care and potentially extend the 'acute level' safety net beyond the standard hospital stay period. When managed effectively, it has the potential to drive down costs throughout the care continuum, especially if Medicare utilizes it to set pricing benchmarks for ancillary services.

Former Medical director of Well Med/OPTUM, Peoples health, Med Solutions, Coventry/Aetna, Kaiser Permanente, Cigna health care Health care
I do think this rule is in the right direction, at least to divert non emergent care from ER, but not sure how it will be enforced. Presently even without this rule it is thought to have been in place, biggest opportunity is in 'upcoding', which is actually hospital ED's presently using to avoid such, while keeping, in fact increasing their revenue source. Hospitals, or free standing ED's supplementing their flat income from inpatient, mostly which is DRG based. It is the right directions to pair with primary care or federally funded health care (being involved and running country's one of the largest federally funded health care) make sense, even though unless access assured and aligned with patient's perception this will not successful. I do disagree with the survey showing in FL 79% patients has primary care physicians. To me that number realistically no more than 50%. The urgent cares are also extensions of hospital owned facilities and referral source. I think easy access to primary care need to be assured before along with benefit design such to disincentivize for non-emergent care in emergency settings, most of all sorting of non-emergent from emergent care is the key for success of this rule, if that's the true legislative intention. Presently hospitals have a system of community physicians' referral for non-emergent care those who have not any primary care physician, which is a part of long-standing rule rather a true process to integrate those patients into the system that is not working at all.

Let's face it, end-of-life care is challenging, and no one likes to think about it. But having frequent conversations with older patients about their wishes can make things a little less difficult for providers and families alike. In our latest article, Innovista's Divisional Vice President of Texas Clinical Operations, April Hodges, RN-BSN, CCM, CDI, discusses how value-based care helps providers coordinate care based on a patient’s choices. #valuebasedcare #advancecareplanning #endoflifecare #healthcare

Today, SHPA welcomes announcements of another $1.2 billion for Strengthening Medicare response and delivery of more Urgent Care clinics, and other healthcare funding and reform announcements by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese after yesterday’s National Cabinet meeting with First Ministers. SHPA President Tom Simpson FANZCAP says strategies to improve healthcare system efficiency require pharmacist expansion in scope of practice: ‘Our members see the impacts of an ailing healthcare system that is increasingly not fit-for-purpose and not meeting the needs of their communities. They know patients are struggling to be seen in a timely manner, as confirmed by the report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, and patients are coming into hospital with more advanced disease compared to prior to the pandemic.’ ‘We are pleased that the Prime Minister is talking about implementing hospital avoidance programs for older Australians, given the majority of the 250,000 medication-related hospital admissions each year involve older Australians, and up to half of these are preventable.’ ‘A key strategy will be to improve medication management programs for older Australians in primary care and to target them appropriately. As the sector that bears the brunt of the current shortcomings, we look forward to informing the design and structure of any future programs with all the learnings we have from hospital pharmacy-led hospital avoidance programs.’ Read more in our full article → https://lnkd.in/d87PRpwc

No surprises here for me. Evidence based management tells us that physicians should be leading healthcare companies and hospitals. Yet only 7% of hospitals and healthcare companies are led by physicians. Colleagues, we need to step up to the plate. Healthcare companies led by physicians are also more profitable and provide more value care.
