In 2023, we made $4.9 million in capital improvements, including the remodeling of our pharmacy and the installation of a new MRI machine. These changes ensure we have the space and technology needed to take care of you. We want to thank our ownership group consisting of ScionHealth and the Greater Watertown Community Health Foundation for continuing to invest in WRMC and our community.

Medically fragile patients experiencing homelessness all too often receive either a lower level of care (I.e.-congregate shelter, street outreach, etc…) or a higher level of care (SNF, long term care, etc…) than what is needed to support their illness because of the dearth of available resources to fill the gap. We need more programs like these that fill care gaps and to think more broadly about the impact they have on the health and well-being of our communities.
The recently released evaluation of Project Roomkey showed what is possible when there is political will, cross-sector coordination and collaboration, and person-centered approaches to housing and health care. In this new California Health Care Foundation blog, you can read about two Alameda County Project Roomkey 'sheroes' - Alexis Chettiar and Catherine Hayes. These amazing clinicians leveraged their Roomkey success and learnings to create, in collaboration with Five Keys Schools and Programs and other key partners, transitional and permanent housing for medically frail people. They 'do what it takes' for their patients and are an amazing model that we should be replicating across the state. Read about it below. #housingishealth #CalAIM #crosssectorcollaboration

Camden Coalition has a bit of a cult-like status within complex care models, and the work there is ground-breaking, mission-oriented and thoughtful. Given my admiration for them, the studies showing their lack of demonstrable results point to a simple fact: Care coordination alone, even when implemented well, is insufficient to reduce hospitalizations for this [really, any] complex population of high-need patients. Primary care has proven its value. I am more concerned that a lot of the innovative, Specialty-focused models seem to rely on navigation, coordination and peer supports - without learning the lessons that are tried and true about complex populations. The reality is that these populations actually need a place to go when their needs escalate, a primary care provider to help them and real specialist access/integration for their needs. Let's hope that the next wave of these innovative companies learn these old lessons - these populations deserve it. https://lnkd.in/ecsjcbY2

‘Family’ means something different to every person needing and receiving care. Discovering who a patient’s or client’s family or primary support people are, helps to clarify who is available to partner with the care team. Health care professionals frequently interact with family and friend caregivers, but what is the value of including family and friend caregivers in the care team and planning?

The Oregon Health Authority FY 2022 Hospital Community Benefit Report shows that not only did Oregon’s hospitals continue to invest in their communities in 2022, those investments came during very challenging financial conditions. Rising expenses, workforce shortages, and stalled revenue combined to crater hospital stability. Despite financial headwinds, in FY 2022 community benefit spending rose nearly 20% statewide, and 92% of Oregon hospitals met their community benefit spending obligations, which shows hospitals’ commitment to the communities they serve. #orleg #orpol

Yes healthcare providers partnering with the family caregiver (carer, care-partner, unpaid caregiver, designated support person, informal caregiver) is good for everyone! Editor of Canadian Family Physician's key points to "Effect of an innovative model of complexity care on family caregiver experience" "In this study, actively including family caregivers as members of the interprofessional care team resulted in enhanced caregiver experience and expanded caregiver capacity. Family caregivers became increasingly engaged and empowered in their roles. Through collaboration with the team, caregivers’ levels of confidence increased and they felt more hopeful." https://bit.ly/3DcS5Z2 And Family Caregivers of BC has the tools to help health providers partner with family caregivers in your practice.

At present there is no system for specifying the work assignment that is being passed from health providers to families who take up the role and responsibility of providing in-home caregiving for family members who can no longer fend for themselves. In the moment of health crisis, families are taking on the work of family care responders to ensure the health and well being of their family member, including receiving medical instructions from the health provider. There is no specific planning for traceable work goals, measurable outcomes, or accountability. There is no organization for reporting results, acknowledging milestones, revising plans to adjust to changing conditions, or formally closing out the family caregiving service when it is no longer needed. We are turning private family homes into extensions of healthcare delivery service without any organizational or operational frameworks or infrastructure to ensure the health and wellbeing of the family caregiving resource. We need families to prepare for family caregiving the way they prepare for fires, earthquakes and floods - the need for a family to turn into a team of family care responders is predictable and can have a catastrophic impact on the health and well-being of families. This is an issue of a failure of social systems, not individual caregivers and their families. https://lnkd.in/gq4W-g2e
