University Hospitals’ Post

Hospital at-home or acute #healthcare at home has been one of the leading trends in care delivery over the past few years. This innovative approach allows healthcare systems to expand their capacities without investing millions in building new brick-and-mortar #hospitals. Some of the nation's top hospitals and healthcare systems are leading the way, pioneering this transformative approach. The results so far have been remarkable, showcasing this model's effectiveness and patient-centric nature. What's particularly intriguing is the temporary waiver that has facilitated this shift. There's a growing sentiment in the industry that this may not be a short-term solution but could become a permanent regulation. As we approach the end of 2024, the discussions around making this waiver a permanent change are gaining momentum. Permanently instating the Hospital-at-Home care model opens up new possibilities for enhancing patient experience, reducing healthcare costs, and providing more personalized and compassionate care. #hospitalathome #clinicalinformatics #Caredelivery #healthcaredelivery #healthcareinnovation #valuebasedcare Link: https://lnkd.in/eVtk5bj9

If you're in NY this Thursday and want to join us, we would love to have you. The event is open to the public. "Defining and Delivering Value-Based Care" A presentation to the Wagner Health Network at the NYU Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service on Thursday, December 7th at 5:30. The registration link here: https://lnkd.in/etRiha64 #valuebasedcare is a #healthcaredelivery model broadly defined as one where #providers, including #hospitals and #physicians, are paid based on the cost and quality of #patientoutcomes instead of the volume of care delivered.  -This talk explores the provider's shift to “shared savings/shared risk” and why the transition is moving more slowly than originally envisioned. Value-based care has become a catch-all term that many wave proudly today, but few define it precisely, often failing to explore the nuances necessary to deliver upon its promise.

BMHC Board President, The Honorable Dr. Larry Wallace, Jr., Ph.D., co-authored a health-equity-focused article with Dr. Norman Chenven, MD., of Austin Regional Clinic, and David Stein, CEO of Babson Diagnostics, called "Three Guys Walk into a Conference And...", in the July 2024 Edition of the Austin Medical Times Magazine. What is unique about this collaborative piece is how it was born. Three guys, who come from very different places—a medical group, community care coordination, and a diagnostics company—met as they all sat on a panel at the 2023 Healthier Texas Summit hosted by It's Time Texas in collaboration with the University of Texas System. However, they all had one question in common and that is: "How do we remove barriers, make access to care easier, and reduce any fear and anxiety related to getting medical help?" They all acknowledged statistics show the health equity gap appears to be more acute in Texas than in many other states. According to their article, our state recently ranked poorly across 24 healthcare metric determinants spanning across four categories: access, outcomes, cost, and quality of care. They also agreed the challenge of improving care is big and complex, but the place to start is with preventative care.
