It's no secret that hospitals across the country are homing in on length of stay to enhance patient flow and boost financial performance as it remains a costly challenge nationwide: If a 425-bed hospital with an average length of stay of six days achieved a one-day reduction, it would realize more than $20 million in operating expense savings per year. "There are a lot of factors that can affect length of stay, but the number one opportunity in my opinion nationwide is the development and support of your case management or care coordination team...I have seen hospitals dramatically reduce their length of stay when they have an engaged care coordination team that is supported and empowered." - Erik Summers, CMO of MUSC Health At Repisodic, we have always viewed case managers as one of the most important stakeholders in reducing LOS, and our platform has empowered case management teams across the country to reduce length of stay for patient discharges to post-acute care by 0.4 days or greater at many of our customer sites! #casemanagement #lengthofstay #postacutecare https://lnkd.in/gcBQus7e

Really looking forward to speaking at the Medication Safety and Efficiency Conference next week. I will share some insights about our national connected healthcare agenda and how we are ‘FHIRing’ up our healthcare system to improve consumer, healthcare professional and public health and research ability to harness the power of health data. I will also talk about what this means for medication safety and how you can get involved and contribute to this important work.

Moving away from an ‘appointment-first’ approach could be the solution to the challenges of patient access. Offers Compelling insights worth pondering.

"My priority and my focus as a #physician have always been on #patient #outcomes, keeping the patient at the center of every decision. It was such a blessing to be certain right away that our values were aligned, and to know we’d be rowing the boat in the same direction..." "And the wonderful thing is that when you effectively address patient outcomes – when you succeed in helping patients reach their goals – it also helps fix many other problems in the health care system, including controlling costs and reducing physician burnout..." "Often, patients are frightened. They don’t understand what’s happening to them, they want to feel better, and they don’t know how to get there. They put their trust in me to help. And if I’m just handing out prescriptions or referring to a specialist without providing context and explanation, then I’m not doing my best as a physician." "As part of the agilon health platform, I have a much clearer line of sight to how I can help reduce suffering..."
