DYK?: Critical care hospitals like Vibra Specialty Hospital of Portland play a key role in our local healthcare community. 🏥 A critical care hospital is a type of specialty hospital that provides care for individuals suffering from critical and chronic medical issues. These patients often arrive on a ventilator and require an extended hospital stay, which is why they are sometimes called a "long-term acute care hospital" -- but don't let the name fool you: this name simply contrasts the length of stay against a general hospital.

Did you know you can find the performance ranking of hospitals? Why are hospital rankings important for patients and their families? In my book I state on page 56: Depending on which health care facility the patient was admitted to, Your risk of dying depends on the hospital you choose. Based on the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Guide rating hospitals A–F, your risk of dying increases by 87.7% at a C grade hospital as compared to receiving care at an A grade hospital, and risk of death increases to 91.8% if you receive care at a D or F rated hospital (Austin & Derk 2019). (Leape, IHI, 2005). Check it out on my website https://lnkd.in/gbeer_Rx or here on Amazon: https://lnkd.in/g6-JYzbq.

As a Critical Access Hospital, we are required to complete an annual review to be compliant with federal regulations and conditions of participation. More importantly, as a local hospital, it's important to us that we are transparent with our community and share information about our successes and opportunities for improvement. That's why we're making our Critical Access Hospital Annual Report public and why we're sharing it with you. This report includes information about our service volume, type of service, trends, concerns, accomplishments, and more. This report is used by our Leadership Team and Board of Trustees to develop action plans, identify opportunities for improvement, and recognize our successes.

This. Teaching “Family & Friends CPR for the layman, is something I enjoy doing for this reason alone. The more who know how to recognize the symptoms and act fast, the better. There is no certification at the end, though it is super informational and the cost is minimum in comparison to the traditional heartsaver course. The resources are all AHA so the gold standard is there! I beg of anyone to push for these, you can work them into more than the average individual may realize; They make for effective team dynamics exercises for work. Mom/parent group meet ups? Book a local instructor. You could find an amazingly engaging instructor (cough cough wink) and host one at your next family reunion. Practical baby shower addition for the friends and family. I have taught this course for all of the above and more. Family & friends is a cost effective AHA curriculum course and it teaches the basics of hands only CPR. Almost ANYONE can save a life. But most importantly, #educationsaveslives
