Bon Secours Mercy Health’s Post

The way public universities in AZ are responding to the state’s urgent health care needs is a great example of the many ways that higher education institutions can act as stewards of place: -educating more top notch professionals -producing and disseminating knowledge -providing spaces and conditions for creativity -sharing resources and forming alliances -carrying out applied research and public scholarship A robust public #highereducation system is critical, powerful, and essential for our health, democracy, planet, economy and well being.

Great lecture at Warwick Medical School on the science of lay responder CPR. My takeaways: 👉 80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in the home - you are much more likely to be applying your CPR skills to a family member or friend than to a stranger. 👉 Bystanders performing CPR requires a lot more than training in the techniques - cultural norms, feelings of self-efficacy, and the ability to recognise cardiac arrest all come into play. 👉 Aftercare for bystanders who have delivered CPR is important, feelings of "what just happened?" are normal even for those with training.

Deeply honored to be partnered with this amazing group from University of St Andrews, The University of Edinburgh, NHS Fife, NHS Highland and so many others on highly significant work managing acute unscheduled and end-of-life care. 🔍 The project emerged amid unprecedented pressure on the country’s unscheduled care services, driven by workforce shortages, demographic changes, and widespread multimorbidity (when a person has two or more long-term health conditions). In 2022, Accident & Emergency waiting times hit record levels, and over a quarter-million calls to NHS24 went unanswered. Alongside these services, unscheduled care also includes General Practice Out-of-Hours (GPOOH) and the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS). 🩺 Research shows that one group frequently using these services is individuals in their last year of life. Although essential, unscheduled care often isn’t the most appropriate option for them, relying on a reactive approach rather than nuanced, anticipatory, and coordinated planning. This can lead to fragmented, expensive, and less effective care, causing additional distress to patients and their families. 💡 Our program will leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence to analyze existing healthcare data and predict future patterns of unscheduled care use by patients in their last year of life. This will help identify those who may need social care reviews, prescribing interventions, or other anticipatory care measures, ultimately reducing their reliance on unscheduled care. 🌟 Excited to be part of this transformative initiative! #HealthcareInnovation #AIinHealthcare #PatientCare #EndOfLifeCare #UnscheduledCare Yale School of Medicine Yale Emergency Medicine Yale Biomedical Informatics & Data Science Yale School of Public Health

One of the common questions I've heard over the years about Global Medical Brigades is when we will begin our work in a new country. It doesn't happen often. Where and when to expand are comprehensive decisions that take into consideration a multitude of factors. We ask ourselves and prospective community partners questions like: - Is our collaboration scalable beyond medical relief? Will it be possible to tap into and sustain local leadership to promote access to healthcare, public health and water infrastructure, and economic development? - What are the current and potential socioeconomic strengths and challenges at local, national, and regional levels? - What needs are prioritized and requested by prospective partner communities? What resources do we have to offer? Do these align? With our impactful history of sustainable development in Central America, strong local leadership, and high stakeholder interest, communities Belize became an undeniable fit for our program. It's exciting to hear feedback live from volunteers Aaliyah and Maggie from Montclair State University!
