Focusing on “whole health” drives better outcomes….

June 6 is International "What Matters to You?" Day. As kidney health professionals, asking, listening to and prioritizing what matters to your patients supports equitable, person-centred care, builds trust, and improves patient outcomes and experiences. Patients are the experts on their own experiences, and can advocate best for their specific needs and concerns. Kidney health professionals can help patients determine what matters to them by initiating conversations on patient goal-setting, encouraging collaboration, and educating themselves.

Advance care planning involves shared planning for your future health care needs. It is a voluntary and ongoing process. It enables you to make some decisions now about the health care you would or would not like to receive if you were unable to communicate your preferences or make treatment decisions. Everyone should consider advance care planning, regardless of age or health. Start now during Advance Care Planning Week! Our friends at Advance Care Planning Australia can help get you started ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dvaxgSb #ACPWeek24

#HealthyAging looks different to everyone – For some, it may mean a focus on mobility and movement, while for others, it may come down to prioritizing heart health. With all the different personal preferences across our older populations, how can we deliver care that is effective, high-quality, and above all, individualized? As CVS Health’s Chief Medical Officer, Sree Chaguturu, and Oak Street Health’s Chief Medical Officer, Ali Khan, explain in this video from Fortune Well, it all comes down to proactivity. Our teams are trained to support our patients holistically, anticipating their needs and engaging with them throughout the unique complexities that come with aging. Check out how else we’re innovating to meet the evolving needs of our older patients: https://cvs.co/3RQ6dyF #TeamCVS

💛 Why is Compassion Important for Primary Health Care? Embracing solidarity and social justice is at the core of the Primary Health Care (PHC) approach. Compassion serves as the vital glue that keeps these values at the forefront of our healthcare system, from local communities to national policies. By integrating compassion into PHC, we can foster the well-being of patients, families, communities, and the entire health system. 🌍💙 Check the project below to learn more about how compassion is an engine for PHC. #PrimaryHealthCare #SocialJustice
