Be Well in AL! I'll be starting my Monday listening to Sheryl Zimmerman, Pamela Truscott, Camille Jordan, and Jennifer Svoboda (Cooper) discuss "Tools to promote healthcare recommendation in AL". Full session description below. See you at the ACHA / NCAL convention bright and early. :-) **** This session will explore the increasing medical and mental health needs of assisted living (AL) residents and introduce the 2022 JAMA recommendations created by an expert panel. The session will focus on tools and resources to improve AL care, including a checklist for providers and examples of current practices. Panelists will discuss the applicability, feasibility, and quality of these tools, as well as their impact on staff training, medical services, and resident care coordination. The discussion will also cover next steps for broader implementation.

JoinAva.com sponsored the Home Care Association of Florida's Annual "Warm Up" Conference in Coral Springs. Key learnings we enjoyed: 1. Value Clinical Managers: The linchpin of home health agencies, their role is indispensable. Prioritize their support to enhance operations. 2. Strategic KPI Focus: Not all metrics are created equal. Concentrate on the ones that significantly impact outcomes and efficiency. 3. Continuous Data-Driven Improvement: Use insights from key metrics to foster a culture of adaptability and progressive enhancement in patient care and agency performance. What conferences are you going to this month?

Explore the Medicaid 3% SDoH waiver from the perspective of the delivery team members and what this does to them Remember that they are particularly overwhelmed with fewer team members, lesser team members or both 1. due to profit focus from the large employers taking over 2. due to survival focus where the population has worst public and privaet health plan concentrations See what this does to Community Health Centers with 50% Medicaid patients. 1. It is a 3% cut in Medicaid funding to support care delivery 2. It requires team members to move outside of encounters and take action before and after encounters to arrange resources, make contact, and probably attend more meetings. Follow ups are also added regarding food, housing... 3. The encounters are longer and more complex 4. Do we really see SDoH as just food or housing instead of dozens of factors shaped over decades of previous life experiences or generations of poverty? We should not let poor assumptions dominate health care designs, especially regarding more for overburdened delivery team members to do.

Day 1 of the Autoimmune Association's Community Summit is in the books! In case you missed it, here’s a recap of my segment with our CEO, Molly Murray, where I discussed our latest patient toolkit—the Question Prompt List (QPL). The QPL is an interactive tool that can be downloaded to your mobile device or printed out, designed to guide patients in asking important questions during medical appointments. It’s especially valuable for those from under-resourced communities, helping them navigate tough conversations based on their personal experiences. #AiCommSummit #autoimmunediseaseawareness #patientadvocate #autoimmuneassociation #patienttools #patientsresources QPL Link: https://lnkd.in/ej2kV6_F

If you're thinking about joining a clinical trial, here's what you need to do: 🔹 First, look into trials that are studying your condition. 🔹 Then, set up a meeting with the trial team.
