Sepsis is one of my favorite topics due the complexity of the topic along with how much change it can generate within an organization clinically, operations, quality, and revenue.

SIGN UP FOR OUR FEBRUARY WEBINAR! OHIO CARES: HEART HEALTH February 14, 2024 at Noon Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills “died” on national TV from a sudden cardiac arrest. He was revived 10 minutes later by our colleagues, in part, due to the lessons learned from “Ohio Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival” (Ohio CARES). The goal of Ohio CARES is to bring the medical care Damar Hamlin received to every citizen of Ohio. Sudden cardiac arrest occurs in 35 Ohio citizens every day. Only 10% survive. This acute unexpected cessation of heart and lung function affects all ages, and it is often the first symptom of heart disease. Ohio CARES tracks EMS and hospital performance metrics and confidentially feeds this information back to help medical systems improve. Ohio CARES is spearheaded by physicians, paramedics, and administrators from across the state. We currently cover 46% of the population of Ohio, but our goal is to expand Ohio CARES to 100% of Ohio. To achieve this, we will need to establish connections with 800 additional EMS agencies and hospitals, disproportionally located in rural areas. In this session, we plan to introduce Ohio CARES and explain how it can benefit EMS agencies and hospitals across Ohio. Register by February 12 at https://lnkd.in/gene8QzY

The Top-Ranked Heart Hospitals in the Southwestern U.S.: 5 hospitals among the top 50 U.S. hospitals for adult heart care were based in the Southwest, including Houston Methodist Hospital, The Texas Heart Institute Center for Cardiovascular Care, and UT Southwestern Medical Center. In the 23-24 U.S. News & World Report survey of American hospitals, more than 770 hospitals were rated for their effectiveness at delivering heart care to adult patients. The hospitals surveyed were ranked on assorted metrics related to heart patient outcomes, the scope of their adult heart care program, and the amount of professional recognition they received from their peers within the cardiac care community. Visit us for more information about the top-ranked heart hospitals in the Southwestern U.S. and where they ranked nationally for adult heart care: https://lnkd.in/gXE2XuMq #hearthospitals #cardiology #hearthealth

The American Heart Association has set new goals to improve cardiac arrest outcomes, aiming to double the current 10% survival rate to 20% by 2030. Despite advances in research and clinical practice, survival from cardiac arrest remains low, and significant disparities exist in outcomes. The Association emphasizes the need to increase bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rates to over 50%, enhance defibrillation (AED use) frequency for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, improve overall survival after cardiac arrest, and promote neurologically intact survival. Equity-focused goals include addressing racial/ethnic and historically marginalized groups with low socioeconomic status. Dr. Raina Merchant, the American Heart Association volunteer chair of the statement's writing committee, highlights the collaborative effort required from healthcare professionals, first responders, and the public to achieve these goals. Currently, 90% of people experiencing cardiac arrest outside the hospital die, emphasizing the importance of increased CPR training, AED use, and immediate response. The Association aims to address disparities in care for Black or Hispanic adults and improve access to lifesaving CPR training in their communities. The focus on education and training has already shown positive results, with increased bystander willingness to provide lifesaving care. #AmericanHeartAssociation #cardiacarrest #CPR #AED #healthgoals #survivalrate #emergencycare #healthdisparities #equity #cardiovascularhealth https://lnkd.in/gUi6qfy7

Picture a future where crowded Emergency Departments transform into streamlined patient journeys. High-sensitivity troponin testing at the point of care promises fast and precise diagnostics for improved patient management. Join me in exploring Dr. Rick Body's insights in an interview by SelectScience, as he discusses the potential impact on emergency medicine. « If we can make rapid decisions, it means that patients will get to where they need to be – whether that be a hospital ward or their own home – faster. » Exciting promises to improve patient outcomes and experience.
