Explore the key themes and takeaways from our recent Community Health #PatientExperience Summit.

BMHC Board President, The Honorable Dr. Larry Wallace, Jr., Ph.D., co-authored a health-equity-focused article with Dr. Norman Chenven, MD., of Austin Regional Clinic, and David Stein, CEO of Babson Diagnostics, called "Three Guys Walk into a Conference And...", in the July 2024 Edition of the Austin Medical Times Magazine. What is unique about this collaborative piece is how it was born. Three guys, who come from very different places—a medical group, community care coordination, and a diagnostics company—met as they all sat on a panel at the 2023 Healthier Texas Summit hosted by It's Time Texas in collaboration with the University of Texas System. However, they all had one question in common and that is: "How do we remove barriers, make access to care easier, and reduce any fear and anxiety related to getting medical help?" They all acknowledged statistics show the health equity gap appears to be more acute in Texas than in many other states. According to their article, our state recently ranked poorly across 24 healthcare metric determinants spanning across four categories: access, outcomes, cost, and quality of care. They also agreed the challenge of improving care is big and complex, but the place to start is with preventative care.

The hospital of the future? It might just disappear. Picture this: No more sterile waiting rooms. No exhausting trips for vulnerable patients. Instead, a seamless integration of high-tech care, environmental health, and nutrition – all accessible from wherever you call home. At NLC, we are fortunate to work alongside some of the brightest minds in healthcare innovation. One of those minds belongs to Dr. Fenna Heyning, who has just published a thought-provoking book on the future of hospitals, The Disappearance. Drawing from her wealth of experience as an internist and hospital leader, Fenna takes us on a journey through the evolution of hospitals—from long-term patient “guesthouses” to the modern-day technological fortresses we see today. She dares to ask: What if we tore down those concrete walls entirely? Fenna argues for a healthcare system that transcends the traditional boundaries, integrating high-complex healthcare with public health, environmental sciences, and nutrition. Her message is clear: to truly care for future generations, we need to adopt a more holistic perspective, breaking down the silos that have fragmented our approach to health. Dr. Fenna Heyning's book, The Disappearance, challenges us to reimagine healthcare from the ground up. At NLC, we are incredibly proud to have Fenna Heyning as part of our team. Her work as Lead Clinical Expertise bridges the gap between clinical practice and innovation, ensuring that the best of science reaches patients. And with her new book, she is pushing the conversation even further—inviting us all to rethink what healthcare could and should be. A sweet reminder that the future of healthcare is not just about technology or treatment—it’s about reimagining the very foundation of how we care for ourselves and each other.

Take the time to listen to Eric Bricker, MD. 30% to 50% of all money spent on healthcare delivery is quality associated waste. The way you eliminate the waste is to improve quality outcomes. (Dr. Brent James). Quality is not free but it has a huge ROI. Invest in your quality teams and quality improvement training. #healthcarequality

In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, the unexpected deterioration of a hospital patient can present daunting challenges for both medical professionals and families alike. It is during these critical moments that the significance of patient rescue becomes abundantly clear. From the perspective of physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers, swift and effective intervention is imperative to ensure the best possible outcome. However, the role of the patient's family in such situations is equally crucial. Empowered with knowledge and equipped with effective communication strategies, families can play a pivotal role in advocating for their loved ones and contributing to the overall success of rescue efforts. The World Patients Alliance is pleased to organize a webinar titled “The Deteriorating Patient: When a hospital patient unexpectedly goes downhill, what can families do?" on March 28, 2024, at 8 AM ET. Join us as we delve into the importance of patient rescue from the physician's perspective, explore real-life patient stories, introduce Martha's Rule as a guiding principle, analyze the current state of rapid response protocols, and discuss the critical role of families in effectively communicating concerns
