Discover how we're transforming inpatient observation units within Hospital Medicine programs by implementing Short Stay Units. 💡 Read our recent success story with a southern community hospital where we launched a 14-bed Short Stay Unit. The results speak volumes: 👉 Shortened Length of Stay (LOS): Patients spent 0.75 fewer days in observation. 👉 Enhanced Efficiency: Discharges within 24 hours jumped from 24% to 35%. 👉 Targeted Care: Patients staying over 72 hours plummeted from 15% to 6%. Join us in exploring how Short Stay Units are revolutionizing Hospital Medicine programs and reshaping patient care for the better.

Managing observation units efficiently is crucial to maintaining smooth clinical operations within hospitals. In part two of our #ShortStayUnits series, we analyze the pivotal factors that go into deciding whether Emergency Medicine or Hospital Medicine programs should oversee these units. ⚖️ 🔎 Discover the key considerations shaping this decision-making process and explore further insights on selecting the right management for observation units in our latest blog post, linked here: 🔗https://lnkd.in/gQeegTYe #ObservationUnits #EmergencyMedicine #HospitalMedicine #PatientCare #HealthcareInsights #CoreClinicalPartners

While there are dissenting voices regarding the AMA's choice to consolidate inpatient and observation codes, many physicians find it logical. From a physician's viewpoint, distinguishing between inpatient and observation status isn't a clinical determination. The clinical decision revolves around whether hospital admission is necessary, a distinct query altogether. For most physicians, the tasks and clinical reasoning remain unchanged regardless of whether the patient is admitted as inpatient or observation status. If the differentiation between inpatient and observation vanished, my responsibilities and clinical considerations would largely remain consistent, albeit with fewer peer-to-peer discussions and conversations with utilization management. #UShealthcare #MedicalBilling #Physicians

NHC Tanasbourne Medical Clinic received a big upgrade — new height-adjustable exam tables! 🙌 These innovative tables improve both patient care and provider efficiency. Previously, patients with mobility challenges faced difficulties getting onto stationary tables, but now, with tables that adjust from 18 to 37 inches, accessibility has never been easier. Monica Avalos, lead CMA, shared how these new tables have made her work smoother and safer—especially when performing tasks like EKGs. This upgrade isn’t just about comfort, it's about providing equal and safe care for all. At NHC, we're always looking for new ways to continue improving and providing the best care for our patients. #AccessibleHealthcare #PatientCare #HealthcareInnovation
