It saddens me and concerns me that 4 of the 8 services being suspended in this publication are that of Obstetrical services. As a nursing champion for Maternal-Child Health and as someone who lives in a rural community, this is concerning. It's a very layered and complex problem with having adequate staffing, volume, reimbursement, and the litigative nature of providing care in this service line. What's the solution?

The hospital-at-home model is gaining traction as a viable alternative to traditional care settings. Recent studies have shown that this model leads to lower mortality rates, decreased usage of skilled nursing facilities, and less need for escalation in patient care.

As healthcare leaders, we can sometimes focus on outcome measures as the solution. But what if achieving these measures doesn't actually lead to improvement in the true outcomes that we are trying to achieve? As an executive and consultant, I have seen and have held Discharge Before Noon out as a gold standard but should it be the objective? The evidence shared by Dr. Aaron Dunn and Dr. Elise Lu has made me question my belief. Hospital flow is complicated and it's time to reexamine some of the things we take for granted as "Best Practice". If you haven't started reading the Society of Hospital Medicine's "Things We Do For No Reason" series, you're missing out on an opportunity to challenge the status quo and improve patient care. #healthcareleadership #patientoutcomes #hospitalmedicine #bestpractices #hospitalists #patientflow #patientcare #patientsafety #nurses #physicians #hospitals #leanhealthcare #healthcarequality #healthcareleaders #nurseleaders #healthcareinnovation #healthcare

The clinical outcomes after admission of COVID-19 patients to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) are critical for understanding the impact of the virus on vulnerable populations. This study aims to assess these outcomes and their implications. Stay tuned for insights into patient care and management in SNFs amidst the pandemic. 🏥💊 #COVID19 #Healthcare #Research

A legitimate business case for Hospial at Home. High-quality HaH care requires multidisciplinary teams to coordinate care across space, often with patients that are not in direct proximity to clinical-care staff. Thus, HaH providers must learn to incorporate and interpret biometric data collected REMOTELY, to titrate the intensity of care along a trajectory of illness rather than in discrete facility-based phases of care (that is, from hospital to skilled nursing facility to home), and to navigate the logistics of home-based care.

Today, I visited Adola General Hospital, the hospital in the East Guji zone. My purpose for going there was to see my grandmother, who was receiving treatment at the hospital. However, there have always been complaints about the quality of service provided by this hospital. My first visit to the hospital was when I was still a high school student. I accompanied my mom, who had just given birth. She was holding the baby and sitting near an open window. It was extremely cold, and there was no medical doctor present. I noticed a nurse who was engrossed in her phone, using Facebook. During that night, another family brought their child to the hospital, and the child was bleeding after having undergone a uvulectomy. The family begged for help, but nobody seemed to care. I was furious at the hospital staff for their poor service quality, and I confronted the nurse about it. That incident made me realize the extent of the hospital's inadequate service. Having experienced better medical care before, this hospital seemed like a disappointment. During my most recent visit, I couldn't find anyone to discuss my grandmother's case with. I discovered an older nurse sleeping in the duty room. When I tried to look at the medical records, one of his children, who was playing nearby, told me to put them down with a playful tone. He went to wake up his father, who happened to be a nurse. I attempted to inquire about my grandmother's condition, but he refused to provide any information, simply stating that she was receiving medication. When I requested to speak with a senior staff member, he declined to disclose any details. Medical services in rural areas require significant attention and improvement. It is crucial that services are provided in a manner that addresses the specific needs of these communities. While the people residing in rural areas may not always have the means to demand better healthcare, it is the responsibility of health professionals to ensure that appropriate and adequate services are delivered to these populations. Rural areas often face unique challenges when it comes to healthcare access, including limited resources, infrastructure, and healthcare professionals. It is important to recognize and address these disparities by implementing strategies that cater to the specific requirements of rural communities. In conclusion, prioritizing medical services in rural areas is essential. It requires a comprehensive and proactive approach from healthcare professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders. By recognizing the unique challenges faced by rural communities and working collaboratively, we can ensure that healthcare services are delivered appropriately and effectively to meet the needs of our society. #hospital #who

Here’s my recent contribution to an incredibly helpful and comprehensive article written by Payton Babb Sy, RN in US News and World Report about ways to find a physician when none are available.   It’s no secret that there's a primary care shortage, which has occurred due to a variety of factors: higher pay in specialized fields of medicine and challenges with insurance reimbursement are a few. So getting creative when looking to be treated by a physician on short notice is a necessity.   I suggested getting in touch with medical schools and nursing programs in your area to see if such an option exists. It’s usually easier and faster to make an appointment there to receive the care that you need, and it’s also more affordable than visiting a doctor’s office.    Additional helpful suggestions are available in the article. #primarycarephysicians #findingaphysician #primarycareshortage https://lnkd.in/gjeBu9nz
