Are you aware of the best hospitals in Europe according to Newsweek's 2024 list? Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Karolinska University Hospital, and University Hospital Zürich are among the top performers. They highlight the importance of ongoing dedication to excellence in patient treatments and outcomes. #HealthcareExcellence #PatientCare

Exciting News! Mainstay Medical proudly announces the publication of clinical results comparing older and younger patients in a pooled analysis of three studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of ReActiv8 Restorative Neurostimulation. No significant differences were found, highlighting the therapy's consistent effectiveness across age groups. Jason Hannon, CEO of Mainstay Medical, stated: “High quality clinical evidence sets us apart in this industry. We study, learn, and demonstrate outcomes in patient populations before we suggest ReActiv8 is beneficial to a particular group of patients. This is how we partner with clinicians to deliver the best possible, and most durable, treatments for their patients. With these exciting results demonstrating the value of ReActiv8 across all studied age groups, we can now confidently support identification of older patients who are likely to benefit from the therapy. We look forward to continuing to partner with physicians to help chronic low back pain patients of all ages, and to growing the global body of peer-reviewed evidence supporting the ability of ReActiv8 to provide positive long-term outcomes.” View press release here → https://lnkd.in/es9U-A2p. #mainstaymedical #reactiv8 #multifidusdysfunction #chroniclowbackpain #restorativetherapy #thinkrestorative #restorativerevolution #lowbackpain #clbp #helpingpatients #patientfocus #puttingpatientsfirst Dr. Ardeshir Ardeshiri | Marco Amann | Simon Thomson | Christopher Gilligan, M.D.

Leading European Hospitals are implementing H2O outcome sets We are over the moon about a very important milestone for making patient-centric healthcare in Europe a reality. Members of the European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) are rolling out H2O outcome sets to collect patient-reported outcomes in a standardized way. Together, we have defined standards for collecting patient-reported outcomes and testing them in the clinical day-to-day. What has been a vision for long, is now becoming reality as the project is entering the implementation phase.   Among the first to implement H2O outcome sets are the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the MedUni Wien. Already two clinics within Charité – in the area of IBD and diabetes - are using the so-called H2O pragmatic sets, aiming at keeping the effort around the collection process itself as low as possible, for patients and clinicians. Also, the Medical University Vienna has started to use the H2O outcome sets in their diabetes clinic for collecting PROs. A major milestone not only for patients and clinicians, but also for researchers all over the world. Join us in celebrating European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) their members and this major breakthrough in making real-world evidence-based decision making and patient empowerment in healthcare a reality.

Do you know what the PRO-HOME Project is? In this study, we tested the efficacy of a multicomponent intervention (cognitive, physical, educational, and relaxation activities) held inside a technologically monitored intrahospital facility in reducing the length of hospital stay and multidimensional frailty in hospitalized older people. Our patients reported a 2-day reduction in length of hospital stay and moved from the MPI-2 category of risk (moderate risk of frailty) to the MPI-1 class (low risk of frailty)!

Finally our article on ‘Achalasia cardia: A case report in young female’ is published on Wiley Online Library- Clinical case reports. A big thanks to all pure souls who have put their effort to craft this article. Learning point from the article: Even though rare this case report emphasizes the need for early recognition and accurate diagnosis of achalasia in young adults to avoid exacerbation of the condition and misdiagnosis as GERD. Patient outcomes and quality of life are greatly enhanced by suitable diagnostic techniques, appropriate therapy, interdisciplinary care, and comprehensive patient education along with frequent follow-ups. Happy reading and reflecting. https://lnkd.in/db55m56q

This is awesome. Now, what if the system had a Health Coach Pharmacy to prescribe patients to Lifestyle Medicine Coaches. After all - lifestyle medicine doesn't happen in the exam room....it has to go home. A new type of prescription is here.

In research published in BMC Nursing underscores the critical importance of patient-centric approaches in healthcare. This insightful study reveals how enhanced patient engagement not only improves clinical outcomes but also enriches the quality of data. As we continually strive to place patient needs at the forefront, this article offers valuable insights and affirms the significance of what we do. Dive into the full study to see how shifting focus towards patient experiences lead to better outcomes. https://lnkd.in/e4Q6UAtC #PatientCare #DrivingChange #HealthcareInnovation

This randomized controlled trial included 180 patients from five rheumatology clinics across Denmark. Participants were randomized to receive either digital patient education at home (intervention group) or face-to-face patient education from a rheumatology nurse at the hospital. 📌 The study demonstrates that digital patient education effectively improves self-efficacy—a key driver of self-management. Additionally, the intervention group had fewer outpatient clinic visits, suggesting potential efficiencies in reducing clinical visits and freeing up staff resources. Both groups saw minor improvements in knowledge, health literacy, and quality of life following patient education. 💡 This is the first study of its kind focusing on newly diagnosed RA patients. The next step is the implementation of digital patient education in daily clinical practice. 🔗 This research has been published in Rheumatology Oxford and can be accessed here: https://lnkd.in/dWczdZsV 🙌 We are grateful to TrygFonden for their generous support of this study.

“This is how it has always been done” or “This is how everyone does it” are no longer sufficient. We have to be creative and take risks to disrupt the status quo and forge new paths. #healthcare #clinicaltrials #raredisease
