Got Pharmacists on your team? Enhance patient adherence, engagement, and retention with a robust patient care management team. Does your infusion 💉 center or suite include pharmacist medication reviews and assessments? If not, why not? Pharmacists collaborate countless times with nurses and physicians to support optimal patient care, addressing drug-drug interactions and reviewing current medications to ensure necessity, safety, and proper dosing. Reviewing current medications before infusions and considering the patient's other health diagnoses is crucial for optimal healthcare outcomes. Optimal patient care requires a team, including but not limited to physicians, nurses, and pharmacists. 👩⚕️ 👨⚕️ 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁! Here are several ways pharmacists contribute to patient care and the infusion team, enhancing patient retention and improving your bottom line: - Optimize Medication Regimens - Enhance Safety - Improve Treatment Outcomes - Patient Education - Collaborative Care - Cost-effectiveness If you’d like to discuss how a pharmacist can work with your infusion team and enhance patient adherence and engagement, contact me at info@deannacarolsmith.com.

Level LG & 0 - Outpatients - Laboratory One of the most significant developments in the new NCH will be the brand new laboratory facilities. Located on the brightly lit lower ground floor and close to critical clinical areas, staff will benefit from the modern, spacious, and state of the art laboratory services provided. The service will enable improved and rapid turnaround times for many tests, and a wider range of tests for many clinical conditions. The new laboratory will be a fully digital facility and will integrate with the new electronic health record (EHR). The benefits of the new laboratory include: Digital ordering of tests and test results (order comms) eliminating paper test request forms for inpatient and outpatient requests. Repatriation of some testing currently sent out to the UK and beyond, reducing turnaround times for test results. New ways of working. For example, a centralised specimen reception area supporting more efficient collection and turnarounds of test results. There will be 8 laboratories in what will be a single CHI department of paediatric laboratory medicine. In addition, there will be two specialist fit out laboratories built to clean room standards. #ournewchildrenshospital #NCH

Patient-centred care above procedural efficiency! Throughout my career, I've encountered numerous instances where patients shared harrowing experiences of their urgent pleas for a hydrocortisone injection during an adrenal crisis going unheeded by healthcare professionals who failed to grasp the gravity of the situation. My professional journey has been dedicated to championing patient empowerment and enabling individuals to take charge of their health knowledge. Yet, a recent personal ordeal has profoundly underscored that this approach alone is insufficient. My father was recently admitted to hospital for what was anticipated to be a routine day-case elective procedure. He also suffers from other chronic conditions, which I meticulously communicated to the surgical team, pre-assessment nurses, anaesthetists, and all involved, to ensure he received the necessary post-operative care. Regrettably, what was meant to be a simple day admission escalated into a life-threatening event, culminating in an extended hospital stay and leaving him confined to his home for an indefinite period. This deterioration was a direct result of the surgical team perceiving him merely as "the procedure”, thus overlooking the critical information we provided about his other health issues. This incident forces me to question whether the failure lay in my communication of his health issues and the potential post-operative risks or if it reflects a much deeper problem within our healthcare system. This system, increasingly resembling a "production line”, under substantial pressure to expedite patient turnover, often neglects the complex interplay of comorbid conditions. Therefore, while empowering our patients to become informed advocates for their health is vital, it's imperative we bridge the gap between patient empowerment and systemic responsiveness to foster a healthcare environment that prioritises individualised care above procedural efficiency. As healthcare practitioners, our expertise is not exhaustive, but we must adhere to the principle of attentively heeding patients’ requests, as Professors Wass and Arlt rightly argue in this timeless BMJ Editorial.

The study effectively addresses a gap in knowledge by investigating the impact of extended consultant-delivered care for general medical patients. The inclusion of a pharmacist, medical nurse, and medical assistant in the CD-MDTs strengthens the model by incorporating diverse expertise. https://lnkd.in/dVYV22jX

What does the ideal clinical dashboard look like for Anthony Laflen, VP of Value-Based Care Innovation at PointClickCare? The top three data points are: 1️⃣ Patient health status data – vital signs, heart rate, blood pressure, medical issues, or chronic conditions 2️⃣ Medication adherence or medication management 3️⃣ Utilization metrics – hospital readmission rates, frequency of doctor visits, staffing levels, etc. Check out Skilled Nursing News’ latest article to learn how he has created these dashboards in his work at PointClickCare!

Hanging Used Chemo Gowns Increases Chemo Contamination in Patient Care Areas Chemo gowns are designed for single use and intended to be worn by healthcare workers just once. However, in some oncology departments and infusion centers, there is a practice of hanging up used chemo gowns between administrations. Even if no visible contamination or wetness is apparent on the gown, it is considered contaminated after use. Hanging these gowns increases the risk of chemo contamination that may not be visible. Common locations where used chemo gowns are hung in patient care settings: ❌ Behind infusion chairs ❌ Computer workstations ❌ Wall suction canisters ❌ Wall oxygen flowmeters ❌ Medication room The presence of chemo contamination in the workplace and patient care settings poses health risks and potential harm to various groups: > Patients (especially those not undergoing chemo treatment) > Healthcare clinical staff > Visitors > Social workers, chaplains, schedulers, volunteers If staff are reusing and hanging chemo gowns, it's crucial to ask KEY questions to work towards solutions: 1. What are the reasons behind staff reusing/hanging chemo gowns? 2. Are there barriers that lead to staff reusing these gowns? 3. Do we have an adequate supply of chemo gowns considering the volume of chemotherapy being administered? 4. Are staff aware of increased environmental contamination that increases their personal acute chemo exposure? 5. Could staff benefit from chemo safety reinforcement training to understand personal exposure risks and environmental contamination in their work environment? #patientsafety #oncologynurse #nursing #nurseleader #healthcareleadership #ChemotherapySafety #PatientCare #HealthcareExcellence

It is these breaks in the process that impact both patient and nurse experience, as well as patient outcomes. Regina M. Clark, CSP, I'm so sorry that you had that experience, and so grateful that you are okay. The breaks in process are what prompted Dina Readinger, EMBAand I to host the nurse leader listening tour, and collaborate with 26 professionals to write #HealingHealthcare Evidence-Based Strategies to Mend Our Broken System. Broken processes require vetted solutions; I know that you will add incredible value to your nursing audience. https://lnkd.in/e_79K5RU

Creating fabulous patient experiences every day for every patient is really hard! It's not enough to have clinically competent staff and hope that they make the right decisions and communicate effectively to the patient. Having effective processes in place is just as critical. Every process impacts the patient experience. When a patient waits in the waiting room for an extended period of time, that is a sign of a broken process. Some health care organizations double and triple book the physicians which negatively impacts the patient experience and is not fair to the physicians. When a patient waits for six hours in an emergency room to be placed in a hospital room, that is a broken process. When a patient waits hours for a physician to sign discharge papers so the patient can leave the hospital, that is a broken process. When a #patient can’t understand #medical records due to medical terminology, that is ineffective communication with the patient. When healthcare providers use different software for electronic medical records and the patient information is not communicated across platforms that is a problem for the patient. When a patient is misdiagnosed in the Emergency Room and told to go home, that is a shame and the outcome can be life threatening! In a few weeks, I’ll be talking to a group of nurses about improving the #patient experience in New York. I’m not a healthcare provider, just a patient who was sent home from the ER after having a stroke, four days after the stroke I was back in the hospital and experienced so many broken process issues. I'm honored to be able to share a patients view of improving the patient #experience with dedicated nurses. I have so much respect and admiration for nurses, it is such a tough job. I count my blessings every day that I recovered.

Wait a minute—-Have you handed over your patient ? We were in the middle of an audit when we all ran towards a code blue alert 🚨 The patient had gotten a seizure during the physical therapy session. It was terrible! How could the physical therapist not be cautious? Why did he leaves the patient unattended? We had several questions. All this was watered down once we realized that this has not been handed over well; that the patient was for close monitoring due to the medication he was on!!!! We were talking about errors that we have encountered here and there during our various shifts. Patient care circumstances can be affected by poor communication. It could include verbal and telephone orders, communication of critical test results or handover communication. Care orders are some of the most error-prone communication. With different accents, dialects and pronunciation it is usually difficult to receive information being communicated. These are patient safety concerns. The various communication within the hospital includes: 💊 Between healthcare practitioners (e.g Physicians to nurses 💊 Between different levels of care or we can call them departments (e.g Ward to critical care unit) 💊 From inpatient to diagnostic or other treatment departments (e.g the ward to the radiology department) 💊 Between the staff and patients or families especially during discharge or referral. Breakdown in communication can occur and this will result into an adverse event. Our patient could have complicated had the code blue delayed by a minute. Handover tools need to be well developed, communicated, understood and then used well. Some of the safe practices for effective communication will be discussed in our next session!!!!!!👍👍 How are doing handover/handoff communication in your facility? #Handingover #Patientsafety #Continousimprovement #Effectivecommunication #Nursesonlinkedin #Internationalnursesweek

Good morning, everyone. Do you know what a Hospitalist is? I didn't until this morning. Hospitalists are a group of individuals who make up the hospital medicine community and practice hospital medicine. This began with Society of Hospital Medicine which is founded through National Hospitalist Day in 1997. The Society of Hospital Medicine promote quality care by keeping hospitals up-to-date with education and industry-specific information. The National Hospitalist Day's goal is to recognize the contributors of specialist care doctors who make up the members of the Society of Hospital Medicine in the fastest-growing speciality of modern medicine. What's the difference between a primary health care doctor and a hospitalist, you ask? Your hospitalist are doctors who provide care for patients at a hospital and typically have the same training as primary care doctors but specialize in providing in-hospital care. Thank you for all the hospitalists who continue to make hospitals up to date and keeping their staff safe while still providing excellent health-care. BERTOLINO LLP, @national hospitalist day
