The Integral Role of Home Health Agencies in Facilitating Home-Based Care for Patients There has been a consistent rise over the past several years in the number of patients opting for home-based recovery following hospitalization or surgery. Recent studies have unveiled that, with appropriate support, many patients exhibit faster recuperation and fewer complications in a home environment compared to hospitals or skilled care facilities.

The evidence for primary care keeps piling up. Patients are less likely to be readmitted to the hospital after emergency surgery if they have a follow up appointment with their PCP. The value of primary care to patients and payers is demonstrated in so many ways, yet payers and health systems could be doing more to invest in primary care with value-based payment models. #primarycare Adora Moneme https://lnkd.in/gfkAJYpW

Ambulatory surgery centers are a smart business strategy for many health systems, but no ASC project is a “no- brainer." According to Compass Surgical Partners COO Robert Carrera, “A feasibility study really helps us ferret out what is or isn’t a good deal." To learn more about how a feasibility study can guide your health system's plans to expand your outpatient surgery footprint, check out Rob’s recent article here: https://lnkd.in/ghutaatv #healthsystem #ASC #strategicplanning

“A paradigm shift in the healthcare sector is necessary to incorporate new technologies…” Outpatient surgical procedures in the 21st century - Efficiency, comfort and quick recovery!" Ambulatory Surgery is a multidisciplinary care strategy that aims to provide better clinical results and safety, with cost rationalization. These surgeries are performed without the need for hospital admission and with greater doctor control over the patient's experience. ➡MD Fabio Sant’Anna de Moraes (Urologist/ MBA in health management)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ CRM SC 20179/ RQE11.465⠀)⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hpb⠀#bladderhealth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #urologistabc #urologistaitajai #urologistaitapema #urologistabalneariocamboriu #urologiataflorianopolis #savethebladder #tuip #urolift #mist #rezum #holep #catheterSchelin

New Research Highlights Medicare’s Undervaluation of Stroke Thrombectomy Recent studies presented at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) annual meeting reveal troubling trends in Medicare’s reimbursement for mechanical thrombectomy. Despite the procedure's proven success in saving lives and reducing healthcare costs, Medicare’s reimbursement rates have significantly declined. Key findings include: ➡ Medicare reimbursement averages only 18–22% of the procedure's total cost. ➡ Reimbursements have decreased even as thrombectomy use has nearly tripled from 2016 to 2021. Inadequate reimbursement rates may limit access to this life-saving treatment in certain regions.

🎁 The gift of a simple but effective idea for post-operative care 🎁 Just in time for the gift-giving season, we’re delighted to share an innovative idea from Dave Duffy, Consultant Orthopaedic surgeon at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, who is transforming  post-operative follow-up care by using PKB to send personalised video messages to his patients. Easy to implement, he creates a short film briefing the patient on what’s happened, together with his guidance for their post-operative care. At the touch of a button the message is securely sent to them in their PKB health record, available to review whenever they like. An efficient, scalable solution, the results speak for themselves.  With more informed and empowered patients there is a significant reduction in the need for follow-up appointments - an estimated 112.5 clinical hours can be saved every year for Mr Duffy, equating to the equivalent of 28 additional theatres.  Unwrap (😉) all the details in this case study 👇 https://lnkd.in/eWBqX6Dh #Postoperativecare #Digitaltransformation #PersonalHealthRecord
