Las Vegas HEALS’ Post

Join us TODAY for our third and final mixer as we continue to identify gaps in the continuum of care that currently exist for patients suffering from substance use disorders. EMS and the emergency departments often encounter patients in times of crisis. There's often a lack of continuity on the road to treatment and resources that occurs. During this panel we will discuss how EMS and the ER can stand up this gap in services and help usher patients to appropriate resources. This is fast becoming a standard of care across the country, and we need to take a more regional approach here in southern Nevada to standardize our processes and policies. Come join us TODAY August 22, 2024 to be part of the discussion!

Even after checking all the boxes, it is possible to miss a duplication in a patient's regimen. Prescribers are often overwhelmed by their patient load, notes, conferences, presentations etc. Their plates are overloaded and most of them are willing to seek the assistance of qualified, trustworthy health professionals who can make their jobs easier. Spotting duplicate medications requires a comprehensive medication review. The trained eyes of a deprescribing advocate can spot these and so much more from a medication list. Our goal is to groom as many clinicians into #deprescribers as possible to take on this supportive role for prescribers.

AOT is the solution: “It is time to stop the misinformation about Assisted Outpatient Treatment. An evaluation of SAMHSA #AOT grant programs shows positive outcomes! https://lnkd.in/eYmBnKeZ” - Ann Corcoran RN, MSN National Shattering Silence Coalition Massachusetts and Connecticut are the last 2 states without this lifesaving law. #AssistedOutpatientTreatment bridges the most fragile SMI population to get the support they need in the community setting. Earlier treatment, less police lives lost, less #suicide, and less incarceration are some of the benefits from an evidence based AOT law.

Does this list look familiar? Are you a busy professional, with a parent or loved one who lives far away and needs assistance in figuring out a new or complicated health condition? 🤔 I know the impact of these feelings exactly, as I am waiting on hold right now, to escalate a "prior authorization" issue for a sleep study, that has been caught up in a loop of delays and miscommunication. 😑 As a Board Certified Patient Advocate with Stepping Stone Advocacy Services, I specialize in working with seniors who need help and am very familiar with these types of challenges we face when trying to navigate the healthcare system and gain access to quality care. 😶 I can help alleviate some of these feelings by customizing a plan of care, communicating with providers, and supporting ongoing healthcare needs, which brings so much peace of mind. 😊 If you or someone you know needs help, just reach out to today.

Governor Newsom has signed AB 2703 into law, a significant win for expanding mental health care access, especially in California’s rural and low-income communities. With nearly one-third of California's adults and teens struggling with anxiety and depression, this law comes at a crucial time. I'm proud of CAMFT's advocacy for this important legislation and grateful to Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry for her leadership. AB 2703 addresses our mental health workforce shortage by simplifying MFT hiring and enabling psychological associates to be reimbursed under their supervisors. Now, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) can more easily add MFTs as billable providers without the lengthy administrative burden and costly process of submitting a change in scope of services. This law is a step towards ensuring all Californians can access the mental health care they need. #MentalHealth #AB2703 #CAMFT

Choosing Death over Life is Choosing Life Itself. D N R In the healthcare field, the decision to sign a DNR contract can be a profound and emotional one. Recently, I faced a situation where I advocated for a patient's life, only to have their family request a DNR agreement. While the debate on euthanasia and DNR can be complex, the option to end suffering is crucial for both patients and their loved ones. Death and dying are challenging topics, often not covered in healthcare education. Emotions run high in such situations, making it a tough but necessary conversation to have. Let's open up the dialogue on this important aspect of healthcare. Share your thoughts and let's talk! #healthcare #endoflife #DNR #advocacy #suffering #healthcareworkers #ethics
