Delighted to participate and engage in discussions with leaders in the aged care sector during Australian Health Week. Let's collaboratively advance innovation in aged care. #AHW Today commenced with an insightful presentation by Claire Scapinello, CEO ECH, on aged care strategy, emphasizing the significant growth in the ageing population and the need for operational model shifts and digital advancements to ensure accessible care for all seniors. Following that, two noteworthy examples were shared: 1. Paul Hayton Head of People Services, Uniting, in collaboration with Zipline, showcased their tool's effectiveness in reducing hiring costs, streamlining compliance processes, and eliminating reliance on numerous spreadsheets. 2. Ramesh Raghavan, Head of Digital and Innovation at Uniting, presented their innovative use of AR glasses to address critical frontline clinical challenges. By integrating thermal detection cameras, they enable remote wound management services, thereby minimizing hospital visits, specialist consultations, and delivering care directly to individuals' homes.

It's rare I watch or listen to a podcast and am inspired. Remembering the word, "inspire" comes from the root, "in spirit", we can say my inspiration has its roots in love, which is exactly what this podcast speaks to: Love as a guiding principle in the leadership, management, and delivery of excellent healthcare. Apurv Gupta, MD, MPH, Stephanie Feals and guest, Erik Anderson of Adventist Health Castle go deep into the practical application of love in creating the excellence in healthcare delivery that wins a National Baldrige Award. But it's so much more than winning this prestigious award. It's about the love that brings together leadership, staff, patients, families and community. Together we're better, yes? The powerful principles that are the foundation of a great organization must now include love. For Adventist Health Castle: Love Matters. For Dr. Gupta and Premier Inc.: A Loving Organization. For 3DHealthcare: Loving Systems. I so love and respect the many kindred spirits who are working so hard to make healthcare better. Having said that, isn't it time, as the song says, to give love a chance. If not now, when? If not us, who? #ALovingOrganization #LoveMatters #3DLovingSystems #3DHealthcare

@erik-anderson-601a8591/, Patient Care Executive at Adventist Health, says from the moment he joined the organization he knew it felt different. He said he felt the sense of Aloha. Treating patients and employees like Ohana - or family - is in their DNA. Erik told us that like with any family, there needs to be trust, transparency, and sometimes even tough love for accountability, which is a two-way street. The team at Adventist Health Castle listens to the community and deeply values that feedback when choosing how to best serve their patients and teams. Their holistic approach includes community-centered events like Christmas tree lightings, speaking to students, and other ways that encourage the community to become a partner in their healthcare. Their commitment to clinical excellence combined with their “Love Matters” campaign lead them to a Baldrige Award win in 2017.

This National Hospital Week, we honor America's hospitals, particularly rural and critical-access hospitals that dot the heartland. Working in a rural or critical-access hospital means being part of a close-knit community, and earning trust requires compassion, empathy, and a firm commitment to public health. We admire those who work in these roles to ensure each patient is treated with the same level of quality care they would receive in larger facilities. Staffing for rural and critical-access hospitals is about more than just filling positions; it's about understanding the unique dynamics and needs of communities, and we are honored to be your solution provider in this endeavor. Learn more about the challenges rural and critical-access hospitals face: https://lnkd.in/gY7EjC7D #WeAreHealthCare #LocumTenens #NationalHospitalWeek

SMA Specialty Medical Labs can benefit senior living communities 6 different ways. 1. Improved resident care: Accurate lab results can lead to more precise diagnoses and treatment plans, ultimately improving the quality of care provided to residents in senior living communities. 2. Faster treatment: Faster turn around times for lab results mean that residents can receive treatment sooner, leading to better health outcomes and potentially preventing the progression of certain conditions. 3. Reduced hospitalizations: Timely lab results can help senior living communities identify and address health issues before they escalate, reducing the likelihood of residents needing to be hospitalized. 4. Enhanced efficiency: Quicker access to lab results allows staff to make more timely decisions about resident care, leading to a more efficient operation overall. 5. Increased resident satisfaction: When residents receive prompt and accurate care, they are likely to be more satisfied with their living experience in the community. 6. Cost savings: By avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations and providing more efficient care, senior living communities can potentially reduce healthcare costs in the long run. #seniorliving #healthcare #partnerships #networking #caringfortheelderly

Virtual care technologies play an important role across the Tasmanian Health Service. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a catalyst for this rapid change and innovation, demonstrating the value of virtual care to support new and modified clinical operations within Tasmania’s health system. 🎥 Listen to Dr Paul MacIntyre, Statewide Clinical Lead for Tasmanian Cardiac Services, share his encouragement for patients and clinicians to choose virtual care where clinically appropriate. Virtual care technologies enable more patients to receive care in their home or in their community, and save time for patients and our staff. Enabling patients to access appointments from their own home will reduce the costs and inconvenience associated with travel, reduce the number of missed or cancelled appointments, and support patient wellbeing by avoiding unnecessary travel prior to an operation or procedure. #healthcareers #virtualcare #tasmania
