Smart move - this should be the key question that guides us all in interactions whether it's a patient, client, staff member or customer. To create person centred health responses understanding what matters to the individual is KEY. #whatmatterstoyou #whatmatters #understanding #personcentred #humancentreddesign #socialcare

Today, on International What Matters Most to You? Day, let's reflect on the power of shifting our approach to care. Moving from asking "What's the matter with you?" to "What matters to you?" opens doors to transformative conversations between caregivers and individuals. Prioritizing meaningful dialogues can lead to shared understanding and support, ensuring that everyone's values are respected throughout their care journey. 🏥⚕️👩🏻⚕️🩵#WhatMattersMost #HealthcareConversations #InternationalDay

In 2020, CHCF launched a targeted effort to improve health care, and thus health outcomes, for Black Californians regardless of their income or the type of insurance coverage they have. This approach recognizes the impacts of anti-Black racism on the health of Black Californians across income and socioeconomic class. See our current request for proposals (RFP), which solicits projects that address anti-Black racism in the health care system. CHCF seeks to support five to eight projects that have the potential to accelerate change in delivery system policies and practices in the near term. Applicants may apply for grants of up to $150,000 for a two-year grant period to implement and assess the impact of efforts to improve equitable medical care for Black Californians in public or private clinics, hospitals, and medical practices.

Wonderful article by #GeBai, and a great tribute to Marshall Allen. And, in that Forbes article is about the best concise description I have heard or read of the problems in our healthcare system: “5. Our Healthcare Reality Is By Design. “When the government plays a bigger role in healthcare, policymakers and businesses get more intimate. Influencing policy is more effective than competition for large businesses to make money, and controlling healthcare dollars is more effective than empowering patients for policymakers to reap political gains. This business-policymaker marriage perpetuates a system that enriches both while compromising patients, workers, and taxpayers. The key to breaking this vicious cycle is, in Mr. Allen’s words, to ‘stand up to bullies’ and ‘fight back.’” He told us how to do that in his book, “Never Pay the First Bill”.

Did you hear KOSA and COPPA 2.0 were passed in the US senate? The Kids Online Safety and Privacy Act (KOSA) represents a significant legislative effort aimed at enhancing the safety and privacy of children and teenagers online. KOSA imposes a legal obligation on online platforms to take "reasonable" measures to protect minors from various online harms such as bullying, sexual exploitation, drug promotion, and mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. - Platforms are required to set the highest privacy settings by default for minors. - They must also facilitate easy deletion of personal data and manage the time minors spend on the service. - The act mandates parental control features that allow parents to monitor their children's privacy settings, and account activities, restrict purchases, and manage screen time. - Platforms must prevent unknown adults from contacting minors or accessing their personal information and limit the sharing of minors' geolocation data. - Social media platforms are required to allow minors to opt out of algorithm-based recommendation systems or at least restrict the categories of recommendations. Alongside KOSA, the Children and Teens' Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0) was also passed. This act expands the original 1998 COPPA law by extending privacy protections to teenagers up to 16 years old. Prohibiting targeted advertising directed at children and teenagers. Mandating data deletion and creating a new division within the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) focused on youth marketing and privacy.

As an HR executive, living and working with compassion means prioritizing the well-being of our employees, who in turn dedicate themselves to the care of our residents. Unlike my colleagues and co-workers, whose primary focus is directly on our residents—from custodians and maintenance staff to CNAs, LPNs, RNs—my focus is on the people who make our mission possible: our employees. Compassion in my role involves ensuring that our team members have the support they need to thrive, both professionally and personally. This means crafting and implementing policies and procedures that not only foster a positive work environment but also empower our staff to deliver the best possible care to our residents. By working compassionately, we create a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and equipped to provide compassionate care. It’s about recognizing the vital role each team member plays and ensuring they have the resources and environment needed to succeed. When we care for our employees with the same dedication they show our residents, we build a stronger, more resilient organization. It’s a cycle of care that starts with us and radiates out to every individual we serve.

Happy Independence Day. Today we celebrate the spirit of freedom, unity, and resilience that defines our great nation. Wishing everyone a joyous and safe Fourth of July from all of us. Let's continue to work together toward a healthier and stronger America! #EnsureMBS #medicalbilling #independenceday #USA #proudtobeamerican #medicalbillingservices #healthcare #practicemanagement
