With lead RST investigator Julia Faieta, faculty at the University of Pittsburgh School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences are working to create a better way to match individuals with Alzheimers to the app that will best suit their healthcare needs! The team hopes that the Health App Review Tool (HART) will "maximize the use of impactful health technologies, enabling better disease management and higher quality of life."

Individuals with serious mental illnesses are the most likely to struggle with adhering to medication and treatment plans and maintaining quality of life. Fortunately, innovative medication adherence technologies combined with high-touch pharmacy service models can solve these challenges and help people overcome the barriers standing in the way of their health goals. Our latest case study dives into our partnership with Lower Shore Clinic in Maryland to show how our hybrid pharmacy model helped them deliver the care their clients deserved, with: - Reduced administrative burdens on staff - Enhanced communication between care teams - Improved client health, independence, and quality of life Download our free case study to dive into the details of technology-driven medication adherence solutions: https://hubs.la/Q02vWqdc0 #BehavioralHealth #Healthcare

Can We Truly Achieve Health Equity if Patients Don't Feel Understood? Patient experience is about more than politeness or making people feel good. Research consistently shows that patients from diverse backgrounds often feel dismissed by the medical system. To truly address health disparities and differences in outcomes, it will take clinicians with the skillsets and orientation to build those trusting relationships, one patient at a time. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/g3BnA-RW #PatientExperience #ClinicianPatientRelationships #PositiveHealthOutcomes #PersonCenteredCare #HumanizingHealthcare #TheHUMANBrand

Addressing Social Determinants of Health: A Call to Action Have you ever faced the tough choice between buying food for your family or purchasing necessary medications? Or struggled to access healthcare services for your children due to lack of transportation? These dilemmas are everyday realities for many across the United States. As healthcare professionals, we are acutely aware of these challenges and how they impact cost of care, patient outcomes, and quality of life. Years ago, we simply called it “non compliance.” I still remember when we charged patients for missed appointments and often turned them away if they were 15 minutes late, regardless of the reason. Many people, healthcare providers, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations have been working hard to change the narrative by creating amazing programs like free transportation services, subsidized medication programs, food as medicine initiatives, and improved access to healthcare with virtual appointments and remote device monitoring strategies. However, the challenge remains. This is largely due to ineffectively connecting these services with the individuals who need them most, often due to a lack of awareness from both service providers and recipients. Implementing systematic screenings for social determinants of health allows us to proactively identify individuals and families in need and navigate them to the appropriate resources. By ensuring that basic needs are met, we empower individuals to reach their full potential, embodying a truly person-centered approach to healthcare. Deploying digital solutions, leveraging AI and combining that with human empathy and guided support we can make a difference on a much larger scale. Let’s create healthier communities together. Let's continue to work to address these fundamental issues and transform our healthcare system into one that recognizes and acts on the broader social factors affecting health. Very proud to work with the entire UMASS team and our amazing Get Well navigators who embody this commitment everyday.

MedZed is thrilled to share that Stacy T. Tarradath, M.D., M.H.A, MedZed's President of Physician Services, has penned her thoughts on Addressing Health Disparities. Recent studies have shown that despite the improvements in the overall health of the country, racial and ethnic minorities experience a lower quality of health care. They are less likely to receive routine medical care and face higher rates of morbidity and mortality than non-minorities. Our commitment to partnering with health plans and treating high-need patients is pivotal in understanding and addressing these disparities in an integrated, personalized manner.

Here Here Leslie Farrington MD! Thank you for forwarding this along, with your insights on the publication release regarding Ending Unequal Treatment and the marginal impact of Health Equity initiatives over the past 20 years. I am particularly struck by one of the conclusions outlined in the article that highlights "the importance of sustained data collection on racial and ethnic inequities in health care and the need to move away from occasional studies of isolated issues perceived as specific problem areas. To this end, the report recommends that HHS make continual, health care-equity-focused data collection and impact evaluation a routine feature of the health care system." I could not agree more. We need to build more pathways to identify, engage, discuss, compile and synthesize data on health equity barriers and resilience factors that feul sustained change from a systems perspective. Only this kind of data will help the whole body! Thank you so much and let's continue to bond together because we can't eliminate health disparities separate and apart. Have a blessed day! 🤗 #WeArePepin #Agapessom People Empowering People For Inclusion Now (PEP!IN)

While new technology has improved patient outcomes in many ways, it's also made physician-patient communication more difficult. And especially for patients with disorders of gut-brain interaction, this lack of communication can lead to greater care dissatisfaction, and worse health outcomes. My colleagues at Rome Foundation offer some practical advice on how providers can improve their communication skills and work to create a stronger patient experience.
