Thank you, Las Vegas HEALS, for interviewing me and publishing a short article on innovation. Innovation leads to growth in the healthcare industry and improvement of patient outcomes, so it is a win-win. However, it sometimes feels too risky, even though not innovating is much riskier in the long term. Ask me about a systematic approach to #innovation in #healtcare. I can share with you some inspiring examples.

Bridging the gap between primary care and community-based organizations to address complex care needs of older adults Bernie Seifert LICSW, Annaliese E. Volckaert BS, Sharon O'Connor MBA, MS, Ellen Flaherty PhD, APRN, AGSF, Renée L. Pepin PhD Meeting the health care needs of older adults often requires primary care and community-based services providers to work collaboratively. Working with the cultural differences between the two can help engage older adults in their medical care and reduce barriers to reaching goals. https://lnkd.in/gsBd9ew7 #primarycare #communitycare #sdoh #ageingwell #complexcare

Questioning the Adequacy of One Level 1 Trauma Center in Westchester County: Is it Enough? As a healthcare leader with a passion for optimizing patient care, I can't help but wonder: Is one Level 1 Trauma Center truly sufficient for the needs of our community? Let's dive into the data: According to recent research, Westchester County relies heavily on Westchester Medical Center as the region's sole Level 1 Trauma Center. While this center undoubtedly provides critical care services, questions arise about its capacity to effectively serve the entire population of our county and neighboring regions. 🏥 Consider this: With a population of nearly 1 million residents in Westchester County alone, along with the influx of visitors and commuters, the demand for trauma care services is substantial. Factor in the geographic spread of our communities, and accessibility becomes a pressing concern. 🌟 It's not just about numbers; it's about access to timely and high-quality care when every second counts. As a healthcare community, we must critically assess whether one Level 1 Trauma Center is adequate to meet the diverse and dynamic needs of our population. 💬 I invite fellow healthcare professionals, policymakers, and community advocates to join the conversation: Do we need to explore the possibility of additional trauma care resources? How can we ensure equitable access to trauma care services for all residents of Westchester County and beyond? #TraumaCare #HealthcareEquity #CommunityWellness #DataDrivenDecisions #PublicHealth #HealthcareInnovation #CommunityHealth #WestchesterCounty #TraumaCenter #HealthcareLeadership #westchestercounty #nyc #ny #follow #like #healthcareequity #equity #entrepreneur #motivation #healthcare

Congratulations to Curtin Colleague Tina (Christina) Fernandes and Fiona Stanley Hospital Senior Social Worker Dani Schalk on publishing their scoping review - the literature suggests "there are missed opportunities for meaningful work with perpetrators of DFV in a hospital setting and highlights a disjuncture between policy and practice."

BREAKING: From today, puberty blockers have been banned by the National Health Service in England for the treatment of gender dysphoria but are still available at Victoria’s Royal Children’s and Monash’s children’s gender ID services and privately through GPs and other doctors. In the words of NHS England there "is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of [puberty blockers] to make the treatment routinely available at this time." How much more evidence do you need Mary-Anne Thomas MP before taking action? And why the deafening silence from Victoria’s Commissioner for Children and Young People on this issue?
