"Multidisciplinary team" is a formal phrase you'll hear in medical environments, but you can also think about your network, your team, and all the people on your side. Research from Sydney Western University reports that it can take an average of 16 people to help someone die at home. That includes health professionals, family and other support–people who can help with everything, such as preparing a meal or walking the dog. Have you thought about your network? #PalliativeCare #AgedCare #EndOfLifeDoula #EndOfLife #EndOfLifePlanning #PreparingTheWay #doula #MultidisciplinaryTeam #CollaborativeCare

Medically fragile patients experiencing homelessness all too often receive either a lower level of care (I.e.-congregate shelter, street outreach, etc…) or a higher level of care (SNF, long term care, etc…) than what is needed to support their illness because of the dearth of available resources to fill the gap. We need more programs like these that fill care gaps and to think more broadly about the impact they have on the health and well-being of our communities.

Why You Need a Living Will A Living Will is crucial in ensuring your healthcare wishes are clear and are honored if you are ever unable to communicate them. This document allows you to make important decisions about life-sustaining treatments and medical care in advance. Without a Living Will, your family might be left guessing as to what you want, or decisions could be made by health care professionals that do not reflect your true wishes.

Katie Cornell is a patient services representative. Every day, she follows a strict schedule, picking up the clinic’s mail at 2 p.m. But on this day, something told her to head out a little earlier. She couldn’t explain why — just a feeling, a hunch.   As she walked outside, she heard an odd noise coming from an awning that had been installed less than a year ago. It didn’t sound right. Instinctively, she banged on the window of a car in which a patient’s husband was napping while he waited. Startled, he woke up and moved his car.   Seconds later, the awning came crashing down, right where the car had been parked. In that moment, Katie saved not only his life, but also the lives of three others, including her own. A routine task, a decision to step outside a little earlier than usual, taking action when something didn’t feel right — all are seemingly insignificant on their own. Yet Katie’s presence of mind, her awareness of her surroundings, and most importantly, her heart to care for those around her, converged to create a moment of extraordinary impact.   Later, Katie sent her manager a simple text: “I saved a life today.”   Thank you, Katie. Your story is a reminder that every decision we make matters. We each have the power to make a difference. It’s about being aware, being present, and above all, caring deeply for the people we serve and for each other.   No matter your role at Corewell Health, know this: your work is essential, and your actions have an impact far beyond what you might see in the moment. Acting with heart and purpose, there’s no limit to what we can achieve. #HealthcareHeroes #EverydayHeroes #WorkplaceSafety #EmployeeSpotlight

🌟 When is the Right Time to Start Looking for Assisted Living and Memory Care? 🌟 Deciding when to explore assisted living or memory care options for a loved one can be challenging. Here are a few signs that it might be time to consider these supportive environments: -Increasing Care Needs: If your loved one requires more help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, it might be time to seek additional support. -Safety Concerns: Frequent falls, wandering, or forgetting to turn off appliances can pose serious risks. A safe, monitored environment can provide peace of mind. -Declining Health: Chronic health conditions or cognitive decline may require specialized care that’s difficult to provide at home. Caregiver Stress: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s okay to seek help. Professional care can relieve the burden and improve the quality of life for both you and your loved one. -Social Isolation: Assisted living and memory care communities offer social activities and companionship, combating loneliness and improving overall well-being. At CarePatrol of Beaverton, we’re here to help you navigate this journey with compassion and expertise.

One of the most devastating experiences for residents of long term care facilities is medication error: wrong dose, wrong medication, or wrong resident. These can be deeply disturbing events for residents and their loved ones and also for the care professionals involved, who are officially labeled "perpetrators." Have you ever experienced a medication error in a health care setting? What was it like? Medication errors consistently rank in the top ten compliance citations issued by the State of Oregon -- and likely many other states. Why do they keep happening? In my experience, it's the day to day chaos and constant interruptions on the ground that distract care staff and cause these adverse events. Care professionals need strong processes in place that reduce chaos and increase focus and attention so that they can check, double check, and document every medication that they administer. We created #TheLiveWellMethod to do just that -- to help communities build strong, repeatable practices of quality improvement. I'm pleased to share that the communities in our pilot were able to reduce medication errors 65% over a year. 🎉 Learn how we did it by visiting the LiveWell National website. #LiveWellMethod #qualityimprovement #longtermcare #medicationsafety #medicationmanagement #justculture #culturechange #cnalife https://lnkd.in/g8w_KS3c
