When Rush University Medical Center in Chicago decided to re-engineer its delivery systems to address population health, reduce health inequities, and combat chronic diseases while controlling healthcare costs, they connected with the Home Centered Care Institute. Together, they launched the innovative Rush@Home house call program. Based on a six-month study, the Rush@Home program achieved the following: • 34% potential lower cost • 18% fewer hospitalizations • 21% reduction in ED visits • 4.6% fewer readmissions Total Program Savings • Total Actual Six-Month Savings: $761,000 • Total Potential Annualized Savings: Over $1.5 million Based on these results, a program with 200 MSSP patients would generate over $3 million in savings.

When the CEO is 100% behind keeping patients at the center, especially those like Sophia Esteves The_PHWarrior it makes it easier to ensure the 'nothing about us, without us' axiom. Patients and their advocates are the [Super-]heroes of medical innovation and advancing global health outcomes. We hear you. #mycompany #patientadvocacy #changeagents #healthevoices24

A great breakdown from Dr. Ansari on the advantages of value-based care. #VBC #HealthCare https://lnkd.in/gcy6rnAH

Value-based care is more than just a buzzword. It's the future of personalized, high-quality, and integrated healthcare. It's taken a while, but an American healthcare system based on value and outcomes, not volume and procedures is beginning to take shape.

We encourage you to read this new report on the value to patients and health systems of keeping rheumatic conditions under control. With support from AbbVie, we partnered with the Global Alliance For Patient Access (GAfPA) to convene patient advocates, health care providers, and other experts to produce the report’s recommendations: https://lnkd.in/e2nRk3Xe   More than 18 million people worldwide live with these inflammatory rheumatic conditions, often without receiving the care they need. Investing in their care promises significant benefits, enabling them to live fuller lives. This new report urges policymakers to address barriers to remission for people living with rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis to improve patients' quality of life and reduce health care costs.   #rheumatoidarthritis #spondyloarthritis #remission #healthcare #patientsupport

The Conundrum of Healthcare: Who's to Blame? In the complex landscape of modern medicine, a troubling trend emerges: the prioritization of symptomatic relief over comprehensive care. This phenomenon, often termed as "punting" or "passing the buck", occurs when overwhelmed doctors focus solely on alleviating immediate symptoms without proper diagnosis or treatment. This approach, driven by institutional pressures and quotas, can have devastating consequences, as evidenced by a tragic case of a 24-year-old patient. Emergency room doctors, bound by the ABCD of care, must navigate this conundrum daily. Yet, they too are constrained by the demands of the healthcare system, where profit often takes precedence over patient well-being. The profit-driven nature of Allopathic Medicine raises pertinent questions about accountability: Who's to blame for the shortcomings in healthcare? Is it the doctor, for succumbing to institutional pressures? The patient, for neglecting their own health? The healthcare system, for prioritizing profit over care? Or governmental policies, for failing to regulate effectively? Perhaps the answer lies in a collective effort to take responsibility for our own health. By listening to our bodies, adopting natural remedies, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, we can prevent chronic conditions and reduce the burden on our healthcare system. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that accidents and emergencies require professional medical attention. As we navigate the complexities of healthcare, let's strive for a system that prioritizes both immediate relief and long-term wellness. Let's empower doctors to provide comprehensive care without the burden of institutional pressures. Together, we can work towards a healthier future for all. #Healthcare #MedicalEthics. #PatientSafety #MedicalErrors. #EmergencyMedicine #HealthcareSystem #PersonalResponsibility #HealthyLiving #Welllness

Our current healthcare system should shift from episodic care to a more holistic approach that caters to the whole individual. Episodic care results in a reactive system, where health is ignored between visits whereas in holistic care, a comprehensive understanding of a person's well-being is valued. Holistic care empowers patients and healthcare providers to work together to provide more personalized and effective care. This can foster healthier communities and improve overall health outcomes.

#HIC2024 Fascinating panel on patient flow discussing the problem of access block. Research shows hospital mortality increases by 67% for patients waiting more than 12 hours in ED compared to those who wait 6 hours. Angie Nguyen Vu “Ambulance ramping and ED overcrowding is just a symptom of what is happening in the whole health system. The ED is the canary where the symptom can be seen, but the coal mine is the whole system where the problem has to be solved.” Andrew Staib “Every emergency department in Australia every day is practicing disaster medicine.” He said at just one hospital he works with the excess mortality is 500 a year. “It’s about having managed capacity in our hospitals and this study showed there’s plenty of latent capacity in our hospitals as the moment.” Clair Sullivan said it’s important to understand the difference between ED overcrowding and access block as they need different solutions. “Complex adaptive systems like health don’t respond to minor tweaks “We need to be brave and bold - we need transformative change.” JUSTIN BOYLE said there has been a tsunami of demand over the past 5 years and the issue has become highly politicised but the problems in hospitals are “not due to any inaction from a particular political party” - solutions need to be evidence based and remove opinions and conjecture from the conversation.
