🏥 Leap Frog Group Releases Hospital Safety Grades Report🏥 Congratulations to all the high-performing hospitals recognized by The Leapfrog Group in their latest Hospital Safety Grades report! 🌟 This spring's findings showcase significant improvements in patient experience and a remarkable drop in preventable health care-associated infections. Patient experience measures, including nurse and doctor communication, hospital staff responsiveness, and discharge information, have shown notable enhancements since the fall of 2023. These strides signify a step forward in delivering better care and ultimately saving lives. Utah leads the states for the second cycle in a row, while metro areas like Allentown, Winston-Salem, and New Orleans shine with the highest percentage of "A" hospitals. 🌟 The decrease in preventable infections, such as CLABSI, CAUTI, and MRSA, highlights the dedicated efforts of hospitals nationwide in ensuring patient safety. Despite these positive trends, it's crucial to acknowledge that patient safety remains a critical concern in healthcare. With patient safety problems ranking as the third leading cause of death in the US, continuous efforts are needed to protect patients from harm. We salute the commitment of hospitals in prioritizing patient safety and encourage everyone to stay informed about their hospital's Safety Grade. Visit https://hubs.li/Q02vS-rK0 to check your hospital's grade today! #PatientSafety #HospitalSafetyGrades #HealthcareExcellence 🏥💙

Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board have held their hands up, and said they will not achieve the target to eliminate 65-week waits by September... a target that NHS England have already pushed back from March. The standard approach to achieving this sort of target is straightforward. If there are 10 weeks left before the target deadline, then any patient who has already waited more than 55 weeks is a potential 65-week breach. All you have to do, is create a list of those patients and then run around making sure they all get their appointments, diagnostics and operations. This is sometimes referred to as ‘cohort chasing’. The problem – as Beds ICB have discovered – is that sometimes you can’t get all those patients booked in. The capacity you need is already full. But why is it full? With which patients? Do we really need more capacity, or does the real problem lie somewhere else? These are questions that the standard approach does not answer. But we at Insource Ltd can. Our advanced data and elective care management help the NHS understand the root causes of long waits and then address them sustainably. Instead of cramming cohorts of long-waiters into expensive marginal capacity over and over again. If you are tired of cohort chasing, and want to really reduce waiting times, then get in touch. We would love to discuss how you can achieve sustainable reductions in waiting times. https://lnkd.in/ejP99zNN Nadine Carey-Whitehead Graham Bennett Rob Davenport Tim Eltze Karen Hyde Greg Stevens Paige Elizabeth Hyde Adrian Owen Rachel Lane Donna Smith https://lnkd.in/ebUsfRGQ

I know ... I missed it by a day, but here is my contribution to the discussion on Patient Safety Day: Eliminate hospital visiting hours. Why? Because it is antithetical to providing patient centered care. Surprising no one, Don Berwick says it better than I do, though I do want to extend it to (almost) all hospital units, not just critical care. If anyone in my US network is interested, I am happy to make the introduction to hospital leaders in Denmark who have years of experience with this approach! https://lnkd.in/d2NUDANW #patientsafetyday2023 #patientsafety #patientcenteredcare #hospitalmanagement

Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation Evangelist/Authority, Delivering on the Promise of BCV; a Better Way to Ventilate Your Patients
In a recent online conversation I had about BCV this was asserted: “It has a place - perhaps with early stage or non severe CF or MS. It is NOT the holy Grail the manufacturer claims." For clarification sake, I have called the Hayek and BCV the Holy Grail of respiratory care interventions, not the manufacturer or distributor. That is my humble opinion based on over 30 years at the bedside as an RT using all the techniques at my disposal, often with poor results. So, I agree it has a place. Moderate, but also even advanced CF and MS are only some of them. I am however certain, based on my research and experience, that the place where BCV can create improvement in the healthcare continuum/care spectrum has only just begun to be tapped. This is a device that can do so much with so little potential of harm for patients. If I am asserting a Holy Grail level of a medical intervention it is because with proper, competent and full utilization across all the patient’s it can help, it is the tool we have been seeking for my entire career. The lack of potential for harm combined with the large number that will respond, the potential of improvement for appropriate patients by lessening of severity of illness, decreasing hospital and invasive ventilator utilization in the short and long term makes the Hayek a strong outcome, quality, risk and financial improvement tool. This means as we see more and more healthcare systems fully embrace and utilize the capabilities of this device across the spectrums of care, many health care dollars will be saved. It is not about that as much as it is about the effects for each individual we can help with BCV. One of the many examples that come to mind was a young, toddler, female patient that had paralyzed diaphragms and couldn’t wean from positive pressure ventilation. Her family refused to consider a trach until BCV was tried. To go home, she either got trached and vented or was able to be weaned from the ventilator to discharge without a trach. Her family did not want to take a chance of her losing her beautiful little voice. We brought in BCV. She weaned from the ventilator and had the breathing tube removed safely on the first attempt with BCV and never went back on PPV. With BCV she regained her strength and was able to be discharged without the trach that was at one point offered with an invasive ventilator as her only long term option. I was lucky enough to be able to be present in the ICU for her weaning, and extubation. A month later I went to this little angel’s home to teach the family how to use BCV so they could have her and her beautiful voice back in their home. I can still come to tears as I recall seeing her hugging her mother’s legs in their home squealing in glee to be home just like any other little girl her age. What does that? Only BCV does! IMHO

Continuity of care in General Practice is one of the cornerstones of how we are able to treat patients efficiently and safely. There are many advantages to patients seeing the same clinician but the practicalities of making this happen are increasingly challenging. I have taken a look at some of the ways of improving continuity in care in general practice and explored them on my blog, If this is in an area of interest to you please have a read and let me know your thoughts in the comments! https://lnkd.in/ebRAVNAv
