Examples of How Health Facility Planning Expertise Has Transformed Healthcare Facilities Body: Health Facility Planning or HFP expertise is essential for designing and building healthcare facilities that meet the needs of patients and providers alike. By carefully considering all of the relevant factors, HFP can help to create facilities that are efficient, effective, patient-centred, and future-proof. Some examples of how this has transformed healthcare facilities in the United States include: The Mayo Clinic's new Rochester campus in Minnesota features a variety of innovative design features that are intended to improve patient care and reduce costs. For example, the campus has a centralised medical records system that allows clinicians to access patient information from anywhere on campus. The campus also features a number of patient-friendly amenities, such as private rooms and family-friendly waiting areas. The Cleveland Clinic's new main campus in Ohio is designed to support the delivery of personalised medicine. The campus features a number of specialised centres, such as the Center for Personalised Healthcare and the Genomic Medicine Institute. These centres allow clinicians to tailor treatments to the individual needs of each patient. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's new Hillman Center for Cancer Care is designed to provide a more compassionate and supportive experience for cancer patients and their families. The centre features a variety of amenities, such as a healing garden, a meditation room, and a support group space. The centre also has a team of dedicated patient navigators who help patients navigate their care and access the resources they need. The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, has used HFP expertise to design a new cancer centre that is focused on providing patients with a personalised and seamless care experience. The centre features a number of innovative features, such as a patient navigator program and a system of electronic medical records that allows patients to track their own progress. The University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, is a state-of-the-art facility that is designed to promote healing and wellness. The centre features a number of sustainable design elements, such as a green roof and a rainwater harvesting system. As healthcare providers strive to deliver better care at lower costs, HFP will continue to play an increasingly important role. By carefully considering the needs of patients, providers, and the community, health facility planners can help to create facilities that are efficient, effective, patient-centred, and future-proof. https://lnkd.in/gFXDZCQS

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping healthcare, and nursing leaders play a pivotal role in harnessing its potential! Leading organizations are leveraging AI to enhance patient care, streamline operations, and improve employee experiences. However, some leaders and frontline staff remain uncertain about how to navigate this transformative landscape. I'm excited to see American Organization for Nursing Leadership bring this topic forward, and to explore practical considerations for integrating AI into clinical practice and operations. Don’t miss the chance to engage with panel members and ask your questions!

👌 We couldn't agree more with Jen Tomkinson's insights on what makes or breaks a virtual ward: teamwork. The only way to guarantee we're making the most of virtual wards is through truly integrated teamwork between the clinicians on the ground and the tech gurus behind the software. Our clinicians need to be well-trained in confidently using remote monitoring technology, our tech team needs to create an app that's both easy to use and excellent at capturing patient health, and most importantly, our patients need to feel heard and cared for. The only way to make this happen? True synergy between tech and clinical teams so that patients get the most seamless virtual ward experience.

Great post here from Chris with an encouraging summary of progress - "In the latest data published in December 2023 by NHS England, it shows that there are now over 11,000 virtual ward beds available, surpassing the 10,000 target. Occupancy is running at 72.7% for that month, but that ranges from 36.3% to 93%. Given that an analysis of hospital admission data suggests that a virtual ward of 50 beds delivers the equivalent of 31 additional secondary care beds through more effective utilisation of staff, the impact can be wide ranging. Some ICBs are reporting their potential virtual ward capacity as high as 758 beds over the month." #VirtualWards

Completely agree with this reflection.. in my experience of designing and implementing virtual wards across our system.. developing a team of teams is key -not just clinicians /managers but including your tech supplier as well?

4.5 years ago, I took a leap of faith and started my journey at Premera. It had been 12 years since I had been in the corporate world, as I focused on raising my amazing kids and being actively involved in my community. But when my youngest started kindergarten, I decided to test the waters with a 6-month contract. If I didn't enjoy it, I knew I could always walk away. I still remember my first phone interview with Paul Hollie at Premera. Something about that conversation made me realize that I either wanted to work with him or not go back to work at all. Luckily, after a series of interviews, I was offered the position of Social Impact and Rural Healthcare Support Specialist. To be honest, I had no idea what "Rural Healthcare" meant at the time. But I was passionate about community involvement and eager to dive into this new challenge. As I learned more, I discovered the unique healthcare needs of rural areas in Washington and Alaska. It became my mission to make a difference in these underserved communities. Now, after 4.5 years and more than $100M in grants, I find myself reflecting on the incredible programs I have had the privilege to partner with. From collaborative care models, rural nursing programs, and small equipment grants in rural and remote areas, to youth mental health programs, substance use disorders, and focusing on the intersection of behavioral health and homelessness, we are watching the results come in. Stories like this are the reason I love what I do. The work isn’t done yet; in fact, there’s still a long way to go to provide equitable access to healthcare to everyone in the community, and I’m so grateful to be part of the impact. #Premera #SocialImpact #RuralHealthcare #MakingADifference

It’s happening - the UCI community including the Office of Belonging, Equity and Empowerment, UCI Health Latino Physicians Outreach Group, PRIME-LC, the UCI School of Medicine Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA), the UC PRIME Pre-Health Pathways Program (UC3P), Chicanos/Latinos for Community Medicine (CCM) is hosting concurrent events at the School of Medicine and UCI Medical Center on Tuesday, Oct. 1, in recognition of National Latino Physician Day (NLPD), a nationwide campaign to bring awareness to the shortage of Latino physicians and promote active pathways and opportunities to increase representation in the field. California’s has a Latino population that reaches 40%. And it is projected that in 2050 it will increase to 50%. Having Latinos better represented in medicine is necessary for our communities and for the future of medicine in the United States with 6% Latino doctors. Help make a difference in our community by bringing attention to the Latino physician shortage crisis and the critical need for more Latino doctors in the United States.
