I felt what it’s like to be in a room full of like minded people.. We may not have the same background, but something was common among us. Taking healthcare to new heights! Such an example is implementing POCUS (Point of Care Ultrasound), replacing the time consuming conventional method. And the upsides are many - It could conceivably upgrade critical care - Assessing patients would become much easy - Portable devices will make palliative care affordable - Better obstetric care to minimize surgical intervention - Handy in emergencies like acute abdomen or respiratory distress And many more But there are some catches indeed - Stakeholders won’t accept these devices in fee for service model - Extensive training for healthcare professionals - Creating awareness among patients I personally believe the drawbacks are nothing compared to the brighter side. This rapid diagnostic tool can potentially transform healthcare. P.s. A special thanks to Prof. Peter Weimersheimer for conducting this session and bringing such amazing insights to the table.

In today's healthcare landscape, the disconnect between medical referrals and cost awareness can place a heavy burden on patients. A third-party study underscores a common scenario: physicians making referrals, such as for MRIs, without knowing the financial impact on their patients. At CareHive, we're committed to bridging this knowledge gap. We want to lead the way with cost-effective health care, which means we have to think about how we refer patients for services like MRIs.

It is common for patients to encounter difficulties managing cash flows, even if they can afford medication costs or have partial or limited affordability, particularly during long-term treatment plans for chronic conditions. One of the five dimensions of adherence set by the World Health Organization (WHO), the socio-economic factor, addresses this phenomenon known as Cost-Related Non-adherence (CRN). This occurs when individuals, despite being able to afford medication, struggle with cash flow management and may reduce treatment expenses to cope with rising living costs and medical bills. Such actions can result in incomplete treatment courses, compromising health outcomes, and increasing the risk of complications.   At Axios International, we recognize the multifaceted challenges patients face in their treatment journey, especially outside the hospitals. With our proprietary Patients Needs Assessment Tool (PNAT), we conduct personalized assessments to identify the barriers preventing patients from adhering to the treatment. Hence, we offer a comprehensive 360-degree patient support approach, thereby maximizing adherence to treatment and enhancing patients' health and quality of life. By implementing evidence-based interventions and personalized Patient Support Programs (PSPs), we empower patients to adhere to their treatment plans effectively, leading to improved medical outcomes and reduced burdens on hospitals and healthcare providers. The programs we manage are designed and carried out sustainably, ensuring that more patients can access and complete their treatment courses. By maximizing adherence, preventing complications, and minimizing burdens on the healthcare system, we enable patients to receive appropriate care while optimizing resources within the healthcare system.   To learn more about our maximized adherence solutions, visit: https://lnkd.in/dE4GdNfP #TransformingAccesstoHealthcare #AccesstoHealthcare #MaximizedAdherenceSolutions

Excellent post on the improvements in care Value Based Care brings.

Talking about value-based care on the financial end of the equation, too much money is spent on chronic health conditions that can be treated or reversed with lifestyle interventions. However, models and research on the ROI of using lifestyle interventions, like the Osana Australian model, show what's possible and give promise. Delivering a positive return on investment due to its significant reduction in healthcare utilization, particularly hospital services, is a tremendous outcome for patients, insurers, employers, and taxpayers. With an estimated average hospital visit in Australia costing A$6,000, the model’s ability to lower hospital admissions and improve health outcomes translates to estimated savings of over A$9 million per annum with 6000 patients. This results in an ∼6× return on investment per annum. We need to better apportion financial resources to conditions that are not reversible, using pharmaceuticals, procedures, and hospitalizations where they are most needed. #executiveleaders #healthcaretransformation #employeehealth #womenhealthcareexecutives
