🩺 Supporting Veteran Patients: Key Insights for GPs🩺 📢 Dr. Emily Brooks, Veterans’ Clinical Champion at the Royal College of General Practitioners, highlights key findings on veteran healthcare. A recent RCGP survey shows over half of veterans have service-related health issues, yet many don't seek help. This is often due to a stoic mindset, comparing their issues with peers, or believing civilian GPs won't understand. The Veteran Friendly GP Practice Accreditation scheme helps GPs better identify and support veterans, encouraging more to seek the care they need.

As we mark Delirium Awareness Week, let's remember the critical role family plays in patient care. Delirium poses significant challenges not only to the patients but also to their loved ones. The presence of family members plays a vital role in the management of delirium. Familiar faces and voices provide comfort and reduce the severity of delirium episodes, making recovery smoother. Family members provide essential information about the patient's baseline cognitive and functional status, helping healthcare professionals tailor interventions more effectively. Beyond the clinical benefits, the reassurance and comfort of loved ones can make a world of difference in patient's recovery journey. This week, let’s not only spread awareness about ICU delirium but also celebrate the invaluable contribution of families in the healing process. #ICUDeliriumAwareness. #usmle #match2025 #residency #NRMP #USCE #internalmedicine #internationalmedicalgraduates #programdirectors #ERASapplication #impactfulexperiences

A VA (Veterans Affairs) advocate plays a crucial role in assisting individuals with their VA business by providing support and guidance through the often-complex processes involved in accessing benefits and services. Here are some ways in which a VA advocate can help: Available at every medical center, Patient Advocates are highly trained professionals who can help resolve your concerns about any aspect of your health care.  Click link: https://lnkd.in/eN5PMigQ 1. Navigating VA Benefits: VA advocates are knowledgeable about the various benefits available to veterans, including disability compensation, pension programs, healthcare services, education benefits, and more. They can help individuals understand eligibility criteria, application processes, and required documentation. 2. Claims Assistance: One of the primary roles of a VA advocate is to assist veterans in preparing and submitting claims for disability benefits. They can help gather necessary medical evidence, fill out paperwork, and ensure that all required documentation is submitted accurately and on time. 3. Appeals Process: If a veteran's claim is denied, a VA advocate can assist in navigating the appeals process. This involves understanding the reasons for denial, gathering additional evidence, and preparing a strong case for reconsideration. 4. Benefit Maximization: VA advocates work to ensure that veterans receive the maximum benefits to which they are entitled. They can assess a veteran's specific situation, identify applicable benefits, and help with the application process to optimize the overall support provided. 5. Understanding Regulations: The rules and regulations surrounding VA benefits can be complex and subject to change. A VA advocate stays informed about these regulations, ensuring that veterans are aware of their rights and entitlements. 6. Communication with VA Officials: Advocates can act as intermediaries between veterans and VA officials. They may communicate with VA representatives on behalf of the veteran, seeking clarification, addressing issues, and advocating for fair treatment. 7. Accessing Healthcare Services: Veterans may need assistance in understanding and accessing healthcare services provided by the VA. Advocates can help navigate the healthcare system, schedule appointments, and address concerns related to medical care.

Improved Oversight Needed to Evaluate Network Adequacy and Contractor Performance. READ OIG Report at link below. #veterans #military #militarywomen #georgiamilitarywomen The Veterans Community Care Program allows the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to purchase care for veterans through Community Care Network (CCN) contracts or veterans care agreements. While the CCN groups VA medical facilities into regions managed by third-party administrators (TPAs), the Office of Integrated Veteran Care (IVC) is responsible for overseeing execution of CCN contracts. The VA Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted this audit to determine whether VHA provided effective oversight of its TPAs and VA medical facilities. The review team evaluated IVC’s oversight of the TPAs’ adherence to four contract requirements designed to ensure facilities have enough community providers to administer care within the timeliness and drive-time standards established in the contracts. The OIG found that IVC did not hold TPAs accountable for implementing these contract requirements, causing staff to struggle to convince TPAs to add community providers to their networks at the eight facilities the audit team visited. https://lnkd.in/ezF5xCHW

You say you do great prehospital medicine....but how do you know? There is something very special about having a strong data set as the foundation for making changes to the way an industry operates. Sometimes change happens because we see someone else lead the way in pioneering a new medication or treatment or there is literature that suggests the best practice has shifted (#saynotopastawater); sometimes we change because we're mandated to. Regardless, it's great to be part of an organization working to make the data that supports that change accessible so that prehospital medicine can continue to stay up to date as a critically valuable part of the healthcare system.
