Brant Community Healthcare System’s Post

Here at Get Well, we proudly help millions of Veterans navigate their care and assist care teams with the critical roles they play every day in providing the very best experience and care for our nation's heroes. We have built the most advanced experience, navigation, and care team assistance platform in the country, backed by the Top 1% of InfoSec designations worldwide and used by nearly 50% of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. This is an amazing story of how powerful our technology is for our Veteran community and their care teams. 📣 Opportunity: After going live with the Get Well Inpatient + Point of Care platform in '23, four Western VA Medical Centers identified in-hospital falls as a clinical area that needed attention. 🏥 Solution: The teams at each facility leveraged Get Well technology through the use of clinical prompts, fall education, fall pathways and alerting to promote fall prevention awareness and patient engagement to decrease in-hospital falls 👩⚕️ Outcomes: By implementing the Get Well fall prevention protocol, all four VA Medical Centers successfully reduced overall in-hospital fall rates by 33%, yielding a total cost avoidance of over $5.5 Million.

Healthcare Executive Leaders and Internal Auditors: As discussed in Becker's Hospital Review, IT disruptions (e.g., cyber-attacks, ransomware, etc.) are not only impacting the large health systems. These IT disruptions can hit any health system at any time. Are your clinical functions prepared to serve patients if your IT systems and applications were shut down for 2 months during a ransomware event? Would you like an independent assessment to let you know if your healthcare organization is prepared? Do you need help developing detailed plans to prepare your clinical departments so they can deliver patient care without access to your EMR, your phones, and your hundreds of other IT applications? Reach out to Scott Gerard at Gerard Risk Consulting if you need help or would just like to discuss this significant risk in greater detail.

Please reach out even if you just want to discuss and share thoughts and perspectives regarding this significant risk. Always happy to share my thoughts and experiences on this Continuity of Patient Care (health system BCP) topic.

A home care professional in our Home Care Sales Support Forum recently asked, "What are the 2 Most Important Social Media Platforms for Home Care?" The answer might surprise you, but it's been the truth for a long time. Here's the answer we gave: Facebook and Linkedin. 😍 If you haven't used Linkedin in a while (and I don't blame you one bit) it's time to give it a look. (TikTok is in the running!) Networking with your local referral sources is where it's at on linkedin. If you want to see some examples of remarkable marketing, check out how we help Clear Path Home Care.

Same rules apply for Facebook! #Linkedin #Facebook #homecare #homecaremarketing #homecaresales #homecarebusiness #homecareagency

Simulation can be a valuable component of patient safety efforts, and many organizations already have the simulation resources needed to augment their #PatientSafety programs. Check out this new AHRQ issue brief which explains applications of simulation to improve root cause analysis processes, detect and mitigate latent safety threats, adopt and adapt best practices, and develop debriefing skills that can be applied to actual patient care. https://lnkd.in/gx6aZum4
