“This technology serves as a crucial tool for nurses and practitioners to accurately assess the situation and promptly address critical problems. By enabling remote monitoring and intervention, it acts as a safety net, ensuring that patients receive timely and effective care. This innovative approach not only enhances the quality of treatment but also contributes to better patient outcomes, ultimately reducing the likelihood of hospital readmissions.” - Porsche Uche MSN, APRN, FNP-BC at Sage Specialty Hospital Read more about how Hippo Virtual Care is revolutionizing #patientcare in Louisiana in the article below. #virtualcare #healthcare #louisiana #telehealth #postacutecare #PAC #readmission #hospitalreadmission #headset #telemedicine

Nurse practitioners in the VA health system have full practice authority and are trusted healthcare professionals who care for our country's veterans and their families. The Veterans Health Administration is one of the largest integrated health care systems in the United States, employing thousands of NPs across VA medical centers and community‐based outpatient clinics across the country. A 2020 study comparing MD-assigned patients to NP-assigned patients in the VA health system found similar results in costs, clinical outcomes, and receipt of diagnostic tests across both patient groups. The study also found that the NP patients had less hospitalizations overall, as well as comparable outcomes across differing levels of patient comorbidity. These results suggest NPs may be effective at reducing patient hospitalizations and show how primary care NPs don't need to be limited to caring for less complex patients. The study adds to the ongoing decades evidence showing that NPs provide effective, high-quality health care and are a cost‐effective approach to addressing primary care shortages across the country.

Including technology in the care coordination process is vital to ensuring a collaborative network of providers for patients. The current challenge of gaps in care coordination requires a streamlined, secure, and flexible system to exchange patient data across multiple providers. By investing in these types of healthcare technologies, hospitals and SNFs can strengthen their relationship and provide excellent care to patients.

Here’s my recent contribution to an incredibly helpful and comprehensive article written by Payton Babb Sy, RN in US News and World Report about ways to find a physician when none are available.   It’s no secret that there's a primary care shortage, which has occurred due to a variety of factors: higher pay in specialized fields of medicine and challenges with insurance reimbursement are a few. So getting creative when looking to be treated by a physician on short notice is a necessity.   I suggested getting in touch with medical schools and nursing programs in your area to see if such an option exists. It’s usually easier and faster to make an appointment there to receive the care that you need, and it’s also more affordable than visiting a doctor’s office.    Additional helpful suggestions are available in the article. #primarycarephysicians #findingaphysician #primarycareshortage https://lnkd.in/gjeBu9nz
