The practice of cultural humility focuses on listening, engaging with patients to better understand their lived experience and activating them in their health care by reducing mistrust that may have limited their engagement previously. Learn about this approach to care in our blog post. https://uhc.care/sx0kco

Moving patients seamlessly through your health system is a team sport. Getting paid for all the care provided starts at the point of entry. Explore our thinking at: https://lnkd.in/ebNtqUWH

The sticky issue of healthcare funding once again...and some more thoughts if you will have ... Totally agree that money is much more effectively spent in primary care, but while working on that, it doesn’t hurt…in fact, it is mandatory to streamline hospital functionality. Especially because of the amount of money that is being wasted in less than the optimal such setting (generally speaking). Some hospitals are better in some respects than others and all can learn from one another’s strengths and weaknesses. There is a Hospital Organization of Ontario and I hope for every province in Canada. They should play a pivotal role in bettering themselves by keeping an active dialog with citizens and the private sector interested in investing (especially those with philanthropic inclinations). For instance, why not organize hospitality services near hospitals for patients and especially for their significant ones (the power of attorney ones at least) at a low cost (especially for those who can not afford to pay much), so that when a transplant or a very time-consuming surgery or treatment (e.g. cancer care) is available or needed, all is set up in place and handy-a huge help for patients and their families going through such procedures and an opportunity to avoid cancellations, delays and so on ...administrative glitches (all costing handsome amounts thinning the hospitals' budgets. Something similar exists at a small scale (in the form of some discounts offered by some hotels) for some of the patients in downtown Toronto. I'd say go bold and big and have nearly every hospital and the city co-own and operate (with or without the private sector) such hospitality facilities. It's working wonders in Spain. Why not here in Canada? And I won't take ...the weather as a good reason 😉

June 24-July 24 is a time that the World Health Organization is working to raise awareness about self-care. Self-care month ends on 24 July. "This symbolic day was chosen because self-care can be practiced “24 hours a day/7 days a week”. I am interested in how self-care can promote health, particularly when addressing legal conflicts with the healthiest interventions. WHO describes self-care month as an opportunity to: "raise additional awareness about self-care and self-care interventions, acknowledge the benefits that they bring to people’s lives and what’s been achieved so far; call for renewed commitments and action to expand all health systems to include self-care interventions. During the month, people around the world will be celebrating self-care practices and interventions and the difference they can make to everyone’s lives." Let's take some time this month to promote self-care in the ways we often think about self-care with proper diet, exercise, and rest. But let's also think about how to expand the potential for self-care in medical and legal needs by looking broadly to find avenues for self-care.#selfcare https://lnkd.in/ePJ3Vpit

It's Friday and here's our question for the day: "How will you rate the distribution and accessibility of medical supplies to health facilities around you?" We want to hear from you in the comment section.

In a post-pandemic world, it’s not just “lessons learned,” it’s “lessons mobilized.” We’re taking action in four priority areas (CARE), informed by experts with diverse health care and public health expertise. More on the commitments our members are taking: https://lnkd.in/ehpmSHAf 

💛 Why is Compassion Important for Primary Health Care? Embracing solidarity and social justice is at the core of the Primary Health Care (PHC) approach. Compassion serves as the vital glue that keeps these values at the forefront of our healthcare system, from local communities to national policies. By integrating compassion into PHC, we can foster the well-being of patients, families, communities, and the entire health system. 🌍💙 Check the project below to learn more about how compassion is an engine for PHC. #PrimaryHealthCare #SocialJustice

Every year with my wife and family we talk about our wishes for care through the end of life, so those wishes can be understood and respected by our doctors and the people in our lives who matter most. Have you had conversations about the care you’d want if something unexpected happened to you? Do you know who you’d want making care decisions on your behalf if you couldn’t speak for yourself? If you haven’t started these conversations, or it’s been a while since you’ve revisited them, take advantage of today – National Healthcare Decisions Day – to make your choices known. Discuss those choices with family, friends, and health care providers. It’s never too early to talk about the care you want with the ones you care about most. So make your choices known for every step! Use these free guides, available in multiple languages, from IHI’s public engagement initiative, The Conversation Project: https://lnkd.in/eZkKABDg. We can’t plan for everything. But we can talk about what is most important — in our life, and in our health care — with those who matter most. #NationalHealthcareDecisionsDay #NHDD2024
