"That was fellow-level research, Destiny, congratulations!" Dr. Abigail M. Ramseyer, DO And that's a wrap! Over two years of research have led to this morning's opportunity to present at the Sparrow Health System's Grand Rounds! It was such an honour to be invited by Stephanie Fleming, Chair, Dept of Ob/Gyn Sparrow Hospital, following my presentation at the #HEALSexualHealthConference2024 at Michigan State University! My research on the overutilisation of emergency services is multifold; 1. Identifying patients seen in Michigan hospital systems (Urban, 100000+ populations) 2. Determine overutlisation status based on ICD-10 codes, provider discharge summary, and patient recommendations. Encourage survey participation. 3. Provide educational interventions (video, brochure, poster) and send out retake attempts to survey participants following a 30-day period. This research not only highlights significant levels of overutilisation in Michigan but also which education interventions and resources are most effective in developing informed decision-making from our patients, thus relieving the burden on our emergency staff and providers. Please do not hesitate to reach out for more information or feedback. Thank you for your support in my research journey; I look forward to continuing this research journey following my graduation from Michigan State University College of Natural Science! #healthcare #emergencymedicine #research #undergraduate #grandrounds

In 2023, the National Health Equity Grand Rounds series turned the traditional concept of “medical grand rounds” on its head. This series serves as a free, open-access platform through which diverse thought leaders – including world-renowned physicians, also emerging scholars, interprofessional leaders, students and activists – come together in conversation around today’s most critical health justice topics, building on ideas and strategies for individuals and institutions to reshape our healthcare system—and advance equity. You won’t want to miss out on the first National Health Equity Grand Rounds event of 2024, Advancing Health Equity Through Resistance: A State of the Union on Threats and Opportunities, on Thursday, May 30 starting at 3:30 PM CT. Join public health leaders, healthcare professionals, policy experts and community organizers as they delve into best practices for advancing health equity—discussing the coordinated efforts to dismantle this work in various parts of the country and identifying strategies to counter resistance while building a stronger multiracial democracy equipped to support health for every individual and community. Health care professionals may claim continuing medical education (#CME) credit or certificate of participation AT NO COST for attending. https://lnkd.in/gXG3HSbi The event is developed by American Medical Association, ACGME, National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education, and RespectAbility with support from ABIM Foundation, Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), American Society of Addiction Medicine - ASAM, AMA Ed Hub, Boston Medical Center (BMC), Council of Medical Specialty Societies, HealthBegins, Kaiser Permanente, Sinai Chicago, Social Mission Alliance, The Hastings Center, and Joint Commission. #healthequity #healthcare #meded #dei

In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, the unexpected deterioration of a hospital patient can present daunting challenges for both medical professionals and families alike. It is during these critical moments that the significance of patient rescue becomes abundantly clear. From the perspective of physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers, swift and effective intervention is imperative to ensure the best possible outcome. However, the role of the patient's family in such situations is equally crucial. Empowered with knowledge and equipped with effective communication strategies, families can play a pivotal role in advocating for their loved ones and contributing to the overall success of rescue efforts. The World Patients Alliance is pleased to organize a webinar titled “The Deteriorating Patient: When a hospital patient unexpectedly goes downhill, what can families do?" on March 28, 2024, at 8 AM ET. Join us as we delve into the importance of patient rescue from the physician's perspective, explore real-life patient stories, introduce Martha's Rule as a guiding principle, analyze the current state of rapid response protocols, and discuss the critical role of families in effectively communicating concerns

Our paper is one of the most cited papers*! A codesigned fit-for-purpose implementation framework for aged care Dr Claudia Meyer PhD, Dr Rajna Ogrin PhD, Dr Xanthe Golenko PhD, Dr Liz Cyarto PhD, Kath Paine, Willeke Walsh PhD, Prof Alison Hutchinson PhD, Prof Judy Lowthian PhD We developed a fit-for-purpose implementation framework for aged care (IFAC) for a proactive and responsive aged care provider. The simplicity of the six-question IFAC is underpinned by substantial theoretical perspectives for its elements and their connections. This complexity is then consolidated into an 18-question checklist to operationalize the IFAC, necessary to advance the translation of evidence into clinical practice. https://lnkd.in/gpAXKTry *Citation data from Clarivate Analytics.

Transportation barriers significantly impact #healthcare access, leading to approximately 3.6 million people missing or delaying medical care annually. This challenge contributes to 25-50% of all missed appointments across health systems. At the 17th Health Disparities Conference at Xavier University of Louisiana, Audrey Shawley, MD, and Isabel Anderson unveiled their study titled “Impact of Free Rideshare on No-show Rates and Healthcare Utilization in High Medical and Social Needs Patients.” Their research at the MedVantage Clinic within Ochsner Health investigates how free rideshare services can mitigate transportation issues as a social determinant of health. Dr. Shawley, one of our recent graduates who is preparing for a residency in internal medicine, and Isabel Anderson, a third-year UQ-Ochsner medical student, explore effective strategies to improve healthcare access. Early findings highlighted the vital role of communicating the availability of paid rides and the importance of attending appointments, supported by phone reminders. #medicalstudent #research #rideshareforhealth

CLAXON! OUR PAPER ON EMPATHIC SYSTEMS WAS JUST PUBLISHED Written with the wonderful Muir Gray and Paquita De Zulueta For empathy between patients and practitioners to thrive--indeed to exist, the ground must be fertile. Quote from article: "healthcare practitioners do not operate in a vacuum, so promoting empathy training for practitioners will not suffice: empathic systems are required...Here, we describe concrete, evidence-based empathy-enhancing system-level factors that can be used as a blueprint for creating empathic systems."
