🌟 Exciting developments in palliative care! A recent article highlights the transformative impact of embedding palliative care practitioners in emergency departments (EDs). A pilot program at Corewell Health demonstrated significant improvements in patient outcomes, including reduced inpatient mortality, readmissions, and ICU utilization, all while lowering overall costs. This innovative approach not only enhances patient care but also boosts staff satisfaction. Palliative care plays a crucial role during critical moments in the healthcare journey, particularly in the ED, where timely goals-of-care conversations can profoundly influence treatment paths. Research indicates that health systems can realize a 6.7% ROI by integrating palliative care in the ED. At Tuesday Health, we are committed to advancing palliative care solutions that empower patients and healthcare providers alike. Together, we can ensure that all patients receive the compassionate care they deserve. 💙 Read the full article here 🔗: https://hubs.la/Q02WrRXJ0 #PalliativeCare #EmergencyDepartment #PatientOutcomes #HealthcareInnovation #TuesdayHealth
