Shaping The Future for Dr Gray’s Hospital At Dr Gray's Hospital, the future is being shaped by a passionate and dedicated team who have been hard at work gathering and analysing insights, to inform the strategic direction for the next ten years. These insights were gathered from Dr Gray’s staff, partners, and the public between June 2022 and January 2023. These were gathered through 788 survey responses (hard copy and online) and 20 x 3-hour long workshops, which were well attended by 153 members of Dr Gray’s staff and partners. This input was made possible by the commitment and enthusiasm of local staff and people. All engagement feedback gathered has been analysed and the main themes identified. The feedback and themes were discussed at a workshop attended by local Dr Gray’s and NHS Grampian-wide clinical and non-clinical managers in January 2023. From this workshop a high-level vision was agreed for the future of Dr Gray’s. This vision was shared with, and approved by, the NHS Grampian Board in February 2023. Since then, collaboration has continued to pull together a high-level implementation plan. This plan will go to the Board for discussion in April 2023. During this time, we have also been working to pull together engagement feedback reports to share the feedback themes with staff, public and partners. These reports are now ready to share, and we hope that they will clarify what staff, partners, and the public would like from Dr Gray’s in the future. We will be sharing the strategic vision, along with the implementation plan, as it is developed and there is more detail to include. At present, our hope is everyone will get involved to help ensure the details of the implementation plan are coherent and work together to get behind and support the implementation of the plan. The team are excited to move forward with the strategic planning and are enthusiastic about the positive impact it will have on the hospital, staff, partners and the community. Health and Social Care Moray Chief Officer, Simon Bokor-Ingram said: “We are humbled by the enthusiasm of all those who took part in the engagement process, and we look forward to working together to agree the details of plans and put them into action.” Further information and links to the engagement reports are available here: https://lnkd.in/due7kep6

Read about Cleveland Clinic's journey to implement acute hospital care delivered at home for their patients and what drove their decision to partner with Medically Home. Here are some of the highlights: "As part of this journey to open the virtual hospital, we determined a partnership would better facilitate and accelerate the shift in care from the hospital to the home, while delivering on the organizational objectives we set around patient quality and safety, provider satisfaction, and organizational sustainability. The ecosystem required for hospital-at-home is sizable and health systems will have to balance the desire to internally develop a comprehensive virtual hospital program against the size of the investment and know-how required to develop this model of care for patients at scale. Developing this ecosystem requires a myriad of services with reliable redundancies to deliver safe and efficient care across broad geographic and demographic areas. These services, routinely accessible within the hospital, are not available on-demand within each community. Developing this clinical ecosystem outside of the hospital therefore requires a rethink around developing highly reliable decentralized core clinical services including advanced nutritional services, wound care teams, occupational and physical therapy, mobile diagnostic and imaging teams, speech therapy, social services, and case management to name a few."

Mass General Brigham has withdrawn its physicians from Steward Health Care's Holy Family Hospital campuses in Haverhill and Methuen, Massachusetts.   The decision, communicated via email to staff, cites concerns about patient safety standards at the hospital. Steward Health Care responded, expressing regret and emphasizing the hospital's positive safety rankings.   Mass General Brigham physicians will no longer perform elective and emergency procedures at Holy Family, and impacted patients are being rescheduled at nearby Mass General Brigham or community hospitals.   The move complicates Steward's financial challenges, as it looks to sell Holy Family Hospital and three other facilities amid reported financial difficulties.   We collaborate with local healthcare providers to strengthen community support, providing a sustainable solution to the challenges posed by the loss of clinical care in healthcare facilities.   By facilitating access to medical expertise remotely, our telehealth team contributes to ongoing patient well-being.   We are the One!   https://lnkd.in/gTgRcZC4   #revenuecycle #revenuecyclemanagement #priorauthorization #medicalbilling #medicalcoding #healthcare #healthcaretechnology #accountsreceivables #denialmanagement #consulting #management #implementationpartner Becker's Healthcare

Recently, the president and CEO of the Florida Hospital Association wrote about the need for healthcare policy to keep pace with innovation saying: "Hospital at Home programs are a shining example of hospital innovation. As the saying goes, 'Necessity is the mother of invention,' and hospitals responded to the unprecedented need for care during the pandemic with creativity and agility to maintain clinical excellence and patient satisfaction. Today, hospitals need policy support, so the innovative gains of Hospital at Home aren’t lost. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e4PY9cu4 #hospitalathome #decentralizedcare
