⌛ 16% of patients in the UK account for 34.5% of GP time - are you spending your time wisely? One of the leading pressures in general practice is the growing prevalence of multiple illnesses. The number of patients with three or more long-term illnesses has almost doubled since 2005, from 9.7 per cent of people, to 16 per cent in 2019. New research has shown that GPs are spending more than a third of their time on patients with three or more long term conditions, even though this group account for only 16 per cent of the population. But at SmartLife our own research showed that the problem is the frequent attenders who do not have serious health conditions, not the ones who need clinical support. SmartFlow breaks down practice data and shows you a breakdown of appointment data by clinical time and administrative time - and cost. It's designed not only to help GP practices be more efficient but to ensure equitable access of time to all your patients who need care and advice. "Stigmatising patients with long term conditions is not the way we should do things in medicine: those patients need our care and many are likely to be taking part in treatments or long term health reviews and it is great that they take the management of their health seriously," says Dr Jay Verma. "We know this can prevent a condition from worsening and in cases like diabetes, good condition management can actually reverse the condition." Achieve #QOF and enhanced services with SmartSearches SmartSearches is the best way to help practices and PCNs manage their patient lists for long term conditions with one simple dashboard for each condition and trackers to monitor your whole PCN's progress.

#gastrointestinal complaints are the leading cause of treat-and-release emergency department visits, reflecting significant patient distress that does not require hospitalization -- and highlighting a significant opportunity to control avoidable costs. Patients enrolled in #OshiHealth virtual multidisciplinary GI care showed reduced emergency department (ED) utilization, according to research findings presented at the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting earlier this month. A prospective study conducted in partnership with a national health plan in a commercially insured population evaluated the impact of Oshi Health’s multidisciplinary telehealth program found: 🔹 At 3 months, only 5% of enrolled patients had a GI-related ED visit, compared to 17% of non-enrolled patients (a 72% improvement, p<0.0001) 🔹 At 6 months, only 8% of enrolled patients had a GI-related ED visit, compared to 21% of non-enrolled patients (a 64% improvement, p<0.0001) Complementary to the research presented at #apha2023, two additional studies were presented in October on patient outcomes (presented at #acg2023), and the impact of Oshi’s model on physician burnout (presented at #acph2023).

We are really proud to be able to continue to share validated results like this. There are many ways to drive down avoidable costs (like unnecessary ER visits) in our healthcare system, and one of the most obvious ways is to provide people with access to the care that they need, that actual helps them feel better, so they don't need to treat via the ER in the first place! GI related issues are the #1 reason for treat and release ER visits (ie avoidable). You want to impact trend...start here!

GI Health & Mental Health Advocate // Seasoned Digital Health Leader // Toddler Dad 💪🏼🙋🏼♂️
Emergency Department visits are a leading cost-driver for employers, however most People Leaders aren't aware of the breadth of conditions that contribute to this utilization. Did you know that #digestivedisorders // #gastrointestinal is one of the top drivers of ER utilization and is a top condition for "treat and release" care escalations in emergency centers? Did you also know that Oshi Health is an in-network provider with Aetna, a CVS Health Company and UnitedHealthcare and is already available to families covered on these networks? #digestivehealth #gastroenterology #gastrointestinalhealth #employeewellbeing #employeewellness #benefitsstrategy #benefitsplanning #employeebenefits

We continue to present data of the impact of the Oshi Health #digestivehealth care model in helping our members finally gain lasting symptom control and what that then yields in terms of reductions in avoidable healthcare utilization. This time we shared our ability to reduce #emergencydepartment visits. At the end of the day this boils down to a pretty simple concept. #accountability and #accountablecare. A care model that is built from the ground up to be accountable to our members to help them feel sustainably better and to our healthcare purchaser customers to avoid costly healthcare utilization and save them money. We're proud of our outcomes and can't wait to share more of our research in the coming year. And to keep pushing the industry toward aligning reimbursement with accountability and value. #valuebasedcare #healthoutcomes

Professor of Medicine | Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolism | University of California, San Diego | Veterans Affairs Medical Center | Founder and Director Taking Control Of Your Diabetes 501 (c)3
Treating #diabetes successfully involves so much more than just analyzing laboratory results every several months. Improved care requires a true understanding of patients’ perspectives, and levels of comprehension and building a long-term relationship. This relationship must foster a comfortable environment where patients will develop trust in their provider and health care system. What patients need from healthcare professionals (HCPs) is sincere empathy. Empathy from our side and trust from theirs are essential. Once a strong patient-provider relationship is established, the likelihood of patients achieving their health goals increases, leading to satisfaction on both sides—healthcare professionals and people living with the condition. Relationships are crucial, and patient education is paramount. Knowledge empowers patients to understand the importance of managing their condition effectively, emphasizing why certain medications are prescribed and why various devices are recommended. Educating patients enables them to grasp the significance of maintaining good control over their diabetes, thereby enhancing their ability to live long and healthy lives. I enjoyed participating in the Endocrine Society roundtable about this super important topic, check out the full publication here: https://shorturl.at/mAHZ6
