𝑳𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕, 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒅 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆. Shown are some of the attending companies in next week’s J.P. Morgan Healthcare conference. A closed conference, invitation only. The topic - health care innovation. When I assess these identified companies, I do not see the “boots on the ground” across our fragmented system. In other words, the front-like folks making things happen to keep folks from visiting a hospital. From a nurse connecting remotely with patients to address daily needs. To a mobile physician rapidly responding to emergent needs and preventing a trip to the ER. To a nurse collaborating in real-time with a physician to address elevated blood pressures, out-of-range sugars, shortness of breath to prevent another trip to the ER. I am simply scratching the surface with these examples. There is so much more that is delivered by these “boots on the ground.” I wonder if any of these big boys will come close to discussing the challenges and opportunities in the health care service delivery system. It is an area ripe for innovation. I don’t sense that this is a topic of discussion next week. I say “don’t sense” because even the agenda for this conference is confidential and not open to public viewing. Why? #healthcare #physician #doctor #nursing #caremanager

As a Nurse Care Manager and Patient Advocate, I know that collaboration is a necessity and who you partner with can literally make or break a case (or if we even want to work on it)! Care Managers, nurses, families, patients, advocates, basically everyone who deals with healthcare (and that's all of us) needs to know about Jean Ross, RN and her mastermind creation of Primary Record. It's the future of healthcare and the game changer we've all been wishing for. It's how patients and families can have access to their own medical records anytime, anywhere. #patientadvocate #nursesonlinkedin #nursecasemanagers #innovativetechnology #gamechanger #collaborationinprogress #patientsafety #aginglifecare

Read the latest from author Diane Schadewald on the importance of teaching interprofessionalism in healthcare to provide optimal patient care. 

Want to know the secret to providing exceptional patient care? 🔒💡 It all starts with building strong, meaningful bonds with your patients! As a future NP, you have to foster trust if you want to provide good, compassionate care. But why is it so important? Building trust and strong bonds with your patients is crucial because it: 💬 Encourages open communication, allowing patients to share their concerns and fears more freely. 👥 Improves patient compliance and adherence to treatment plans, leading to better health outcomes. 🙏 Increases patient satisfaction and loyalty, as they feel valued and cared for by their healthcare provider. 🧘♀️ Reduces patient anxiety and stress, creating a more positive healthcare experience. The next question is: how can you cultivate these powerful connections? Here are our top tips: 👂 Active Listening: Give your patients your undivided attention and listen to their concerns with empathy. 💬 Clear Communication: Explain diagnoses, treatments, and procedures in plain language, ensuring your patients understand and feel heard. ❓ Open-Ended Questions: Use open-ended questions to encourage patients to share their thoughts and feelings. This can help identify their concerns and preferences. 🤲 Collaborative Decision-Making: Involve your patients in their treatment plans, empowering them to take an active role in their healthcare journey. Implementing these strategies will enhance the quality of care you provide and build trust and credibility with your patients.

Those who work in healthcare study and train for years to develop the knowledge, expertise and resulting confidence to make decisions that are in the best interests of their patients. Yet as much as training and knowledge are important in guiding decisions, these alone will not result in excellent care that meets each patient's goals and that aligns with their values. That’s the view of Peter Pronovost MD, PhD, FCCM, UH’s Chief Quality and Clinical Transformation Officer and Veale Distinguished Chair in Leadership and Clinical Transformation. Families, too, he says, have many important things to teach caregivers — consider it their experiential wisdom — especially important in patients with chronic or complex conditions. In fact, Dr. Pronovost argues, the ability to honor this wisdom is essential for safe, effective care. At UH, we’re training all our physicians and staff to be more attuned to important moments with families and to more fully respect the experiential wisdom expressed by the patient's family and loved ones — and to also listen more closely to nurses' and all caregivers' voices.

📚 Enhancing Care for Critically Ill Patients: Prone Positioning Course at AKU 🌟 I am thrilled to share that I have recently completed the "Prone Positioning in Critically Ill Patients" course from Aga Khan University (AKU). This specialized training has been instrumental in broadening my understanding and skills in managing critically ill patients, particularly those with severe respiratory conditions. 🔍 Key Takeaways: Evidence-Based Practice: The course emphasized the latest evidence and guidelines supporting prone positioning to improve oxygenation and outcomes in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Technical Proficiency: Hands-on training sessions were invaluable in mastering the safe and effective implementation of prone positioning, including patient preparation, maneuver techniques, and monitoring. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: I gained insights into the importance of teamwork among healthcare professionals—nurses, respiratory therapists, and physicians—to ensure the best outcomes for patients undergoing prone positioning. Patient Safety and Comfort: The course highlighted strategies to mitigate potential complications such as pressure ulcers and dislodgement of tubes and lines, ensuring patient safety and comfort during the procedure. This course has not only enhanced my clinical skills but also reinforced my commitment to providing high-quality care to our most vulnerable patients. I am eager to apply these skills in my practice and contribute to improved patient outcomes. A huge thank you to the instructors and fellow participants at AKU for an enriching and collaborative learning experience. If you're involved in critical care and haven't explored this course yet, I highly recommend it! #CriticalCare #PronePositioning #Healthcare #ContinuousLearning #AKU #PatientCare #MedicalEducation
