Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s Post

It feels surreal to be making this announcement, FINALLY. When I say finally, I mean the project I’ve officially worked on for the past year has been living in my head and heart for a decade. If you know me personally or professionally you’ve likely heard me speak on the power of community. 👩🏿🤝👩🏻 Community got me through NP school with a toddler in tow. 👨🏽🤝👨🏿 Community helped me act in response to the profound effects systemic racism has on our world. Yes, the many studies and staggering statistics helped, but it is real people that support me in working through internalized racism, unlearning, learning, and growing in the way we all must when creating change. 👨🏽🤝👨🏿 Community organizing got me through feelings of rage and hopelessness in the face of so much world injustice (full disclosure—not FULLY through this one). 👩🏿🤝👩🏻 Online community got me through my son’s leukemia diagnosis while working full time mid-pandemic, something I could write many posts about. My point is any time I’ve ever had to do, learn, or face something hard, community— collective care, has gotten me through. Healthcare providers across specialties (doulas, nurses, doctors, mental health therapists, acupuncturists, etc), are facing incredible amounts of burnout and moral injury. As providers we both experience and perpetuate a great deal of harm. It is time we recognize that this is driven by the same systemic issues that fuel the health inequities we see. The mass exodus of providers and abysmal Black maternal health rates, are different sides of the same oppressive coin. Here is my response: Togather. The only collective care platform for health justice. A community for those who care, because you can't build a better world if you're burnt out. Built by and for healthcare providers. In a practical sense Togather is: ✅ A social networking app that provides an empowered space for connection and innovation. ✅ Live touch points via healing justice circles and networking events. ✅ Personalized support through mentorship. ✅ Accredited health justice education rooted in anti-racism, liberation, and intersectionality, with invaluable tools to use whether you’re a provider at the bedside, boardroom, or classroom. Togather is a conduit for building the community we need to heal ourselves and our patients, and a catalyst for the change we need to see in our healthcare system and world. Now, with community, I am pushing past self-doubt, what-ifs, and perfectionism, and announcing Togather. I feel incredibly proud of what Togather already is, and so much excitement for what is to come with the insights and support of you all. Here is how to support Togather today: 💌 Stay connected - Join our email list @ www.togathernow.com 📣 Amplify - Share this post with your networks!

Fostering Compassion: Putting People First 💖 Reflecting on our mission here at Newton Healthcare, we realize that at the heart of it all is our care for people. We're dedicated to nurturing individuals across the spectrum of life - including those who need additional help to experience the fullness of life. Our engagement with these individuals transcends the routine of a job; it's about embracing a deep-seated obligation. Each interaction holds the potential for positive change, shining a beacon of hope in times of uncertainty and providing a supportive presence in a world that can often seem callous. This ethos permeates the fabric of our identity. Across our teams, from Healthcare Assistants to Nurses, each member brings a special mix of professional acumen and heartfelt concern. Our care goes beyond merely tending to physical ailments - it's about understanding the value and individuality of everyone we serve. Through integrity, bravery, and inclusivity, we foster an atmosphere where compassion is interwoven with honor and respect. Our impact isn't simply in our actions, but in the manner of our engagements. We maintain transparent communication with clients and candidates alike, ensuring connections are strong and trust is established.

Mercy is committed to providing the best possible care to its patients. That's why we rely on Mercy Technology Services (MTS) to support our mission. MTS plays a critical role in pioneering a new model of care by building and managing Mercy's gold star-rated Epic electronic health record, conducting groundbreaking work in data analytics to improve patient care, and ensuring easy access to Mercy services through the MyMercy patient portal, our website, on-site systems, and more. MTS' hard work has paid off. We're proud to announce that MTS was named one of the Most Wired by CHIME. But that's not all. One of MTS' most important duties is ensuring the availability and security of patient health records. That's why we invested $60 million in building a state-of-the-art data center in Washington, Missouri, with fail-safe features that can withstand a variety of natural events, power or water interruptions, and even building failures. Plus, a second data center in Sunset Hills, Missouri, runs every system in parallel to ensure maximum uptime. At Mercy, we believe that better data leads to better care. That's why we've been collecting clinical data for more than a decade. MTS' experts use cutting-edge analytics tools to learn from that data, finding which processes and products lead to better patient experiences. By doing so, we have reduced mortality rates by 50% for patients with heart failure, pneumonia, and colectomy patients. We are also preventing more than 17,000 unnecessary blood transfusions every year and decreasing the time it takes to administer a diuretic to patients with heart failure by nearly three hours. At Mercy, we're committed to providing the best possible care to our patients. And with MTS' help, we're making great strides towards that goal. hashtag #Healthcare hashtag #ITJobs hashtag #DataScience hashtag #Jobs hashtag #Analytics https://lnkd.in/gDAi4X8s

On a recent #SeniorLiving industry practice call with my colleagues, we had an emotional discussion about the difficulties our clients in the space are up against. Staffing challenges, funding shortfalls, costly lawsuits, regulatory concerns, and carrier appetites were just some of the topics raised. These issues are not unique to senior living, but because this industry serves such a critical societal need, we have a deeply personal commitment to helping our clients. We have family members who are in senior care. We are looking ahead to a future where we ourselves may require these services. And when our clients struggle, we feel those struggles on an emphatic level. This opinion piece resonated a lot with me. It speaks to the importance of senior living organizations having strong partnerships. But the relationship is two-fold. Us partners must continue to advocate, source new solutions, and stay informed on the latest developments. Sometimes that means beating down locked doors, staying up way too late searching for that stone I haven't turned yet, and refusing to take "no" for an answer. Senior living can be a daunting area to work in. Overcoming the myriad challenges isn't easy, but empowering these organizations to succeed is so fulfilling. That's why I do what I do.

Excited to launch our ambitious Strategic Plan 2024- 2026 today. Care-First is at the heart of our strategy, amplifying the voice of residents in homes and championing care philosophies and responding to evolving needs. The title of HOMES for the strategy reflects the ambition of NHI to highlight(H), organise(O), motivate(M), engage(E) and shape(S) the environment for residents of nursing homes and our members. Our strategy is brought to life by the word ‘homes’: highlighting the voices of residents and members; organising campaigns to have their voices heard; motivating the Government and society at large; engaging our residents and members; and shaping the provision of care for our ageing population.
