🎉 Happy 7th Anniversary, Meridian Springs Primary Care! 🎉 As we toast to your remarkable journey, we can't help but admire how you've embraced the challenge of expansion while staying true to the heart of Direct Primary Care (DPC). With DPC healthplans, you have grown beyond boundaries, now serving in 6 states and counting! The road for DPCs isn't straightforward. It's a crossroad between maintaining the essence of an activist medical practice and adapting to the broader scope that corporate growth demands. Yet, it's a testament to your dedication that Meridian Springs has found a way to scale up without losing sight of what DPC stands for. With every new employer that partners with DPC healthplans, there lies an opportunity for all DPCs not just for growth but for revolutionizing primary care—ensuring personalized service doesn't become a trade-off for expansion. Here's to celebrating this milestone and the many more to come! May you continue to flourish as an example that with innovation and commitment, DPCs can grow symbiotically with their employers while preserving their unique identity.

This changed my life and my practice… A huge barrier in this work is in our headspace. Our difficult and so our “marketing strategy” sucks. We want to talk ACPing. The person is in “fight/ flight/ fawn… Going through “WMTY” is kind, curious and connects for a journey. Easily nuanced to be trauma informed. So all can define their own “difficult”. “ACP” happens organically when we ask about living and listen deeply. For however short or long the time we have to live. We can plan to live that space. And die living. #WMTY #ACP #frailty Curiosity, Frailty & Palliative Care Project Doctors of BC Health Quality BC

Advance care planning is the process of discussing and documenting our preferences for medical care in case we are unable to make decisions for ourselves. It ensures our values, wishes, and preferences are respected and helps guide our loved ones and healthcare professionals in making decisions on our behalf. Yet, these discussions still do not occur as often as they should. I find myself having these conversations with patients too far upstream. We must continue integrating meaningful ways to incorporate these conversations much sooner in the care provided and received. 👇 #palliative #palliativemedicine #palliativecare #hospice #hospicecare #hpm #hapc #nach #soinspalliatifs #cuidadospaliativos #advancecareplanning #palliatievezorg

St. Margaret’s Hospice is pioneering the use of SIDeR+ (Somerset Integrated Digital e-Record) to transform how health and social care information is accessed in Somerset.

It ensures care teams have instant access to up-to-date info, cutting down on admin time and enabling better, faster care for patients. Clinical Systems Manager, Ian Lintern, highlights the impact: “Before SIDeR+, we had to log into multiple accounts. Now, one button gives access to all the information.” 🔗Read more about their experience and the lessons learned: https://loom.ly/eTeOM_Q

It's a great initiative to bring the conversation about advance care planning to patients. We should be doing more of this, and as uncomfortable as it may be, it is important to get patients to think about their wishes and values and ensure their goals and expectations will align with the reality of their healthcare needs. 👇 #palliative #palliativemedicine #palliativecare #hospice #hospicecare #endoflifecare #advancecareplanning
