Great conversation happening now about rural communities and the challenges we face around healthcare. Cancer care and access to that care is a large part of this. This work is hard, impacts the whole community, and needs to involve cross-sectional work. One thing that I appreciate Dr. Calhoun mentioning, we need to focus on the similarities, to help address these challenges and think of innovative ideas to tackle rural healthcare. #RuralHealthcare #EastTexas #CancerAccess

@erik-anderson-601a8591/, Patient Care Executive at Adventist Health, says from the moment he joined the organization he knew it felt different. He said he felt the sense of Aloha. Treating patients and employees like Ohana - or family - is in their DNA. Erik told us that like with any family, there needs to be trust, transparency, and sometimes even tough love for accountability, which is a two-way street. The team at Adventist Health Castle listens to the community and deeply values that feedback when choosing how to best serve their patients and teams. Their holistic approach includes community-centered events like Christmas tree lightings, speaking to students, and other ways that encourage the community to become a partner in their healthcare. Their commitment to clinical excellence combined with their “Love Matters” campaign lead them to a Baldrige Award win in 2017. To hear more about this remarkable organization, and learn more about how they teach empathy, value vulnerability, and “measure what they treasure”, check out the full interview with Erik: https://lnkd.in/eJe7qwmM Learn more about Adventist Health Castle: https://lnkd.in/e4FzbHVB Topical time codes: 00:43 - Feeling the Aloha 1:51 - Culture within the organization, Ohana 3:55 - Teaching empathy 7:04 - Love Matters campaign and Baldrige Award win 8:30 - How to connect with the community 11:28 - Community engagement 16:15 - Trust, transparency, and tough love 18:52 - Gratitude as part of Love Matters #healthcare #CompassionateCare #communityengagement #particpatorymedicine #aloha #ohana

Camden Coalition has a bit of a cult-like status within complex care models, and the work there is ground-breaking, mission-oriented and thoughtful. Given my admiration for them, the studies showing their lack of demonstrable results point to a simple fact: Care coordination alone, even when implemented well, is insufficient to reduce hospitalizations for this [really, any] complex population of high-need patients. Primary care has proven its value. I am more concerned that a lot of the innovative, Specialty-focused models seem to rely on navigation, coordination and peer supports - without learning the lessons that are tried and true about complex populations. The reality is that these populations actually need a place to go when their needs escalate, a primary care provider to help them and real specialist access/integration for their needs. Let's hope that the next wave of these innovative companies learn these old lessons - these populations deserve it. https://lnkd.in/ecsjcbY2
