📣📣In recognition of Chronic Disease Awareness Month, we are thrilled to share a success story from a dedicated care team in Houston, Texas. 💪Despite being lean and mighty, Sweetwater Medical faced ongoing staffing challenges and a lack of resources. Like many practices, time constraints made monitoring their patients with chronic conditions even more challenging. 💡They knew there had to be a better way. ➡️Discover how AI-enabled RPM helped them streamline clinical workflows, reduce administrative burden and, most importantly, improve patient outcomes.

What does Scleroderma Awareness Month mean to you? We asked Erion Moore, a Scleroderma Warrior, why Scleroderma Awareness Month is important and what this month means to him. And this is what he said: "Scleroderma Awareness Month to me is a time for patients and caregivers to bring attention to our condition and share our experiences with the world. With so many other illnesses, conditions, and other ailments, it could be difficult to find a good time to advocate for Scleroderma. Many of us put in more effort than normal to educate the public including walks, educational events, fundraising and also bring awareness to medical practitioners or researchers in hopes of better treatment or a cure."

No one understands the patient experience better than families who have walked that road themselves. In December 2023, we launched the Patient and Family Seal of Collaboration, a program to identify and celebrate projects that incorporate direct input from families. In the first 6 months, we’ve already awarded the Seal of Collaboration to 8 projects – and there are more in the works! These include: • A Family Viewing Screen to see your spot in line for walk-in lab or radiology services. 🖥️ • A Roadmap to Discharge for heart patients. 🗺️ • A Rare Disease Research Agenda to prioritize projects that matter to families of kids with genetic conditions. 🧬 Learn more or share your idea here: https://cmkc.link/3VR5Bff

And when women present to ED with heart attack it takes them 90minutes longer to get assessed for heart attack than men. Every minute is critical, as time is muscle, so women are more likely to suffer worse outcomes than men following heart attacks.
