At NEI, partnerships are crucial to our mission. If your organization works to improve #EyeHealth, consider partnering with our National Eye Health Education Program (NEHEP): https://lnkd.in/evyuU54y #EyeHealthEducation

Hospital rankings, such as those by U.S. News & World Report, are significant for hospitals and patients alike. They offer a benchmark for healthcare quality and can influence patient choices and hospital reputation. However, some hospital administrators question the rankings' authority and importance, suggesting a nuanced view of their impact. Creating a healthier future is crucial for communities as it enhances overall well-being, reduces healthcare costs, and fosters a supportive environment for sustainable development. It leads to improved quality of life and longevity for community members. #unitedseniorassociation #USA #eldercare #FDA #seniorliving #ADA #AI #NIH #patientcare #compliance #hospitals #OIG #healthcare #HHSOIG #digitalhealth #HSS #CMS #assistedliving #nursinghomes #seniorcare #medicare #seniorcitizen #homehealthcare #caregiver #dementia #inhomecare #seniorhealth #kloekorby #alzheimers #mentalhealth

Put patients over profits! The #340B Drug Pricing Program is critical because it allows qualifying hospitals and clinics to purchase some drugs at a discount. This program is designed to help safety-net healthcare providers stretch their resources to support more financially vulnerable patients, contributing to #health #equity and the sustainability of #essentialhospitals.

Join me as I moderate a discussion with Drs. Angela Hagaman East Tennessee State University, Craig Henderson, Sam Houston State University, Bettina Hoeppner Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard Medical School, and Sierra Castedo de Martell, Chestnut Health Systems regarding important questions about the PRSS/RCC workforce and the role they play within their recovery ecosystems. Such questions include: (1) the specific activities PRSS engage in and in which settings they conduct them, (2) how benefit from services is best operationalized and measured, and (3) the economic valuation of these services.

Deeply honored to be partnered with this amazing group from University of St Andrews, The University of Edinburgh, NHS Fife, NHS Highland and so many others on highly significant work managing acute unscheduled and end-of-life care. 🔍 The project emerged amid unprecedented pressure on the country’s unscheduled care services, driven by workforce shortages, demographic changes, and widespread multimorbidity (when a person has two or more long-term health conditions). In 2022, Accident & Emergency waiting times hit record levels, and over a quarter-million calls to NHS24 went unanswered. Alongside these services, unscheduled care also includes General Practice Out-of-Hours (GPOOH) and the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS). 🩺 Research shows that one group frequently using these services is individuals in their last year of life. Although essential, unscheduled care often isn’t the most appropriate option for them, relying on a reactive approach rather than nuanced, anticipatory, and coordinated planning. This can lead to fragmented, expensive, and less effective care, causing additional distress to patients and their families. 💡 Our program will leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence to analyze existing healthcare data and predict future patterns of unscheduled care use by patients in their last year of life. This will help identify those who may need social care reviews, prescribing interventions, or other anticipatory care measures, ultimately reducing their reliance on unscheduled care. 🌟 Excited to be part of this transformative initiative! #HealthcareInnovation #AIinHealthcare #PatientCare #EndOfLifeCare #UnscheduledCare Yale School of Medicine Yale Emergency Medicine Yale Biomedical Informatics & Data Science Yale School of Public Health

A Global health × planetary health webinar!? The minute I saw this post here on #LinkedIn I just knew I had to be in this meeting 😁😃. I was absolutely thrilled to see that there was a virtual participation option that was open to all. A key learning point for me today was the concept of social vulnerability and how it could influence which groups of people that would carry the brunt of the effects of climate change. People with lower socio-economic status and in certain geographical areas may be predisposed to experiencing more adverse biological, social and psychological challenges from climate change. The poor and the marginalised stand the greatest risk of being left behind in very dire straits if they are not included in conversations surrounding climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. This is a very heavy reflection point for all. Most especially for those of us from LMICs where there is a lot of worsening socio-economic inequality. On a lighter note: I now know Singapore is a GMT+ 8 time zone. It wasn't easy waking up at 5am in Accra to virtually attend the meeting after working a close to 14-hour shift the day before 😂😂. By the time the meeting was wrapping up a little past 6am my local time, I had only one eye open 😂😂. #planetaryhealthenthusiast #global health #futureglobalhealthresearcher
