Bellin Health’s Post

* 21% fewer inpatient deaths than peer health systems * 13.8% fewer patients with complications * 21% fewer healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) * 0.5-day shorter average length of stay These are the types of facts & figures that I want to see from my healthcare provider. 👏 #HelloHumankindness #HealthTech #PatientCare #Excellence #Kentucky

In pursuit of our mission…

I’ve always thought that the “great consolidation” amongst health systems will lead to large regional Kaiser-esque models, where the payors, clinicians, and facilities are integrated. What’s really interesting about Jaewon Ryu’s statement below is he says Geisinger is the “first inaugural member.” That makes me think Risant Health isn’t done, it wasn’t just a singular acquisition, but will be the first of many other “member” organizations that will lead to a huge conglomerate across the nation. What do you think? Am I reading into this too much? Or will Risant rival HCA + UHC in its ability to gain market share through vertical integration of clinical and health plan assets?

Human Experience Week recognises and celebrates that the experiences of our patients, their families and carers cannot be separated from the experiences of our caregivers (staff and volunteers). The theme for 2024, Innovate to Elevate, focuses on the importance of amplifying voices to inspire hope and making the important shift from surviving to thriving by removing the pebbles in our shoes. At NSW Health, we know that the exceptional patient experience is more than receiving excellent clinical care. How that care is delivered and how it makes us feel is just as important.

✨ Grateful to Aenta Better Health of Illinois for the incredible opportunity to speak on the panel at the 2024 ABHIL Value-Based Care Summit! ✨ It was an honor to join industry leaders and providers to discuss how we can collaboratively transform health care through value-based care models. During the panel, we explored key topics essential to advancing mental health care: - **Integration of Behavioral Health and Primary Care:** We discussed effective strategies for integrating behavioral health services into primary care settings to improve patient outcomes and best practices for coordinating care between primary care providers and behavioral health specialists. - **Data-Driven Approach:** The role of data analytics in identifying and managing behavioral health populations within Medicaid and leveraging predictive modeling to proactively address behavioral health needs were highlighted. - **Access to Care:** We explored strategies to increase access to behavioral health services for Medicaid members and how telehealth and innovative solutions can bridge gaps in care, especially in underserved areas. - **Addressing Stigma and Disparities:** Successful initiatives in reducing stigma associated with seeking behavioral health care and addressing health disparities to ensure equitable access to services for all Medicaid members were shared. At Brave Health, we believe in the power of collaboration to expand access to mental health care. By partnering with other providers, we strive to ensure that more individuals receive the support they need. A special thank you to my fellow panelists Marilyn Griffin, MD, DFAPA, DFAACAP and Hector B. and our moderator Nicole Gillis Your insights and expertise were invaluable to the discussion. #ValueBasedCare #MentalHealth #BraveHealth #HealthcareInnovation #ABHILSummit #Aetna

You know what would be a fun and informative assignment? Trying to estimate the economic value of the contributions of Catholic religious sisters to health care (or you could choose another field). You could set some parameters. E.g., within geographical location X (maybe your home city, county, state or province), from year YYYY to ZZZZ. What curricular outcomes could you hit with this in subjects like history, math, social studies, or health? #MakingEveryClassCatholic
