Did you know that reducing patient length of stay (LOS) by just 1 day reduces the total cost of care on average by 3% or less. As a clinician, it’s important to reduce high financial costs at your facility, but more importantly, increase positive patient outcomes. Learn more about the value and impact of integrating B·R·A·H·M·S PCT in your healthcare facility and how it can help reduce patient length of stay. #thermofisheremp

In urgent care settings, providers often make quick decisions based on limited information, which can encourage diagnostic errors. For example, researchers found that 45.7% of urgent care visits for respiratory diagnoses suffered from inappropriately prescribed antibiotics. While diagnostic accuracy is a complex problem in the ecosystem of healthcare, integrating an in-house PCR lab is one way to enhance providers’ ability to obtain rapid and accurate pathogen identification. This can allow providers to reduce their reliance on empiric prescribing and improve diagnostic accuracy.

This study supports self-titration of anti-hypertensives by the patients at home. As a physician, I am always skeptical about letting my patients self-titrate their medications. But the ADAMPA study has proven otherwise. The ADAMPA study is a randomised controlled trial conducted in Spain. The study population was 312 patients, divided into two groups. One group was treated in usual care setup. The other group was educated and trained for home-blood pressure(BP) monitoring and self-titrating anti-hypertensive medications at home. At the one year mark, there was no significant difference in the BP outcomes between the two groups. But at the 2 year mark, there was statistically significant difference between the two groups. Both systolic and diastolic BP values were reduced in the self-managed groups compared to the other group. There was no extra clinic visits or side effects in both groups. The takeaway is that hypertensive patients when equipped with the right guidance and information have better blood pressure control. This cuts down the costs of healthcare, it is more hassle-free to the patients and also easy-to-implement management. #antihypertensives#homeBPmonitoring #selfmanagementofhypertension

A collaborative approach between healthcare professionals and patients fosters informed decision-making and enhances the likelihood of positive outcomes for both the mother and the baby. You can help patients reduce their risk of preeclampsia by prescribing low dose aspirin. Visit MarchofDimes.org for information, studies, and more. https://lnkd.in/gTk8nXQz It’s important to take the time to educate and counsel patients on the importance of adhering to an LDA protocol, as many may not understand the risks of preeclampsia and the safety and benefits of taking low dose aspirin. Prescribe Low Dose Aspirin (LDA) to those who screen at high or moderate risk for preeclampsia, and have no contraindications. LDA is a safe prophylactic that can be taken by patients at risk, initiated between 12 weeks and 28 weeks of gestation (optimally before 16 weeks) and continued daily until delivery. #lowdosebigbenefits #itstartswithmom
