A Becker's article about one systems test to try and share the responsivity of patient care and involve RN's and NP/PA's more in the interaction in the hospital. Makes sense to me.... if this model grows, the need for Advanced Practice professionals will grow... and as you know, NP's and PA's fall under Locums. This is why Locums will grow at the faster rate than nursing. Here is a clip from the article: This prompted the launch of a pilot program in 2023 at two Corewell Health West primary care locations, which introduced a new in-basket triage system. Under this system, a registered nurse manages the initial triage, while an APP serves as an "inboxologist." "We piloted an inbox model where in-basket messages — phone calls, patient advice requests, prescription requests, second-level triage requests, all of the MyChart messages that were coming in — would actually be triaged in two ways," Dr. Inman said.  "First of all, by an RN with clinical competency that would kind of scrub things, and anything that needed to go to a provider would then go to an APP pool. Anything that needed to be really handled by that individual provider would be that last level." https://lnkd.in/gVVtegQp

Respiri engages other pieces of the USA patient health puzzle and we also break 2,000 patients on our programs with another 8,000 patients identified and ready to be engage and enrol by our team over the coming months. The team continues to make great head way in the USA. Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs, or Sniffs!) are an important piece of the healthcare infrastructure that helps patients transition from Hospital discharge to care in the comfort and cost-effectiveness of the home. Not all patients are well enough to be discharged directly from hospital to the home but are also not in need of hospital care which would be better utilised for other more serious patients. SNFs serve as an important "halfway" facility where patients get the nursing care required and when well enough are discharged to the home. Much more to come as our plans continue to be executed. Monthly profitability is still our very achievable goal in 2024.

When a resident is preparing to leave a skilled nursing facility, healthcare professionals use something called the Discharge Function Score to gauge how well they’ll manage on their own. This score is crucial because it helps determine the level of support or care the resident might need after they leave. But how exactly is this score calculated? In our latest blog, resident expert and Vice President of Clinical Informatics Gregory Seiple breaks the Discharge Function Score down into simple terms, providing a clear definition of the measure, considerations for how the score is calculated, and a step-by-step guide on how the score is ultimately determined.

💡 Real Case: $20,000 Recovered! We recently worked with a 50-bed SNF, focused on rehab, that was losing out on $20,000 in billing. After conducting a free MDS utilization review, we identified the missed opportunities, retrained their MDS nurse on RAC-CT protocols, and saw improvements in both revenue and Quality Measures. 📈 As a Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), you know that accurate MDS assessments are the backbone of your facility’s revenue and Quality Measures (QM). 📊 Ensuring your MDS nurse is properly trained is critical to maximizing PDPM reimbursement and staying compliant with CMS standards. Without proper training, your facility could be missing out on: 👉 Valuable NTA points 👉 Overlooked ARD dates 👉 Improper MDS coding These simple mistakes can cost you thousands in missed revenue! 💸 🚨 Take Action Today! 🚨 Don’t let missed revenue opportunities hold you back. Call 313-314-8267 now for a free MDS utilization review and see how we can help you recover lost revenue. 💼 We guarantee an MDS nurse working on your assessments within 48 hours! ⏱️

Meet Jo, a #TeamCHS Clinical Nurse Consultant on the Acute Medicine Unit. She shared with us intricacies of our patient discharge process. ‘From the very moment a patient is admitted, our discharge planning kicks in. While our goal is to have patients return to their comforting home environment, their safety remains our top priority. This isn’t just a one-day effort – we reassess and plan every single day.’ Patient involvement is key to a smooth discharge. ‘We keep patients informed about their plans. If discharge is possible, we discuss their needs and organise pharmacy, follow-ups, and more. Our aim is to have patients safely on their way home before 10AM.’ Jo also explained ‘criteria lead discharge.’ ‘I This is our way of staying a step ahead. Identifying patients who, come morning, are ready to leave without further medical evaluations. With all set, some can set off as early as 7AM’ Coordinating across departments is crucial. ‘We ensure timely flow and communication, advocating quality and safety of discharge planning from day one,’ Jo added. Finally, Jo's advice for efficient discharge? ‘Build genuine connections with patients. Maintain open channels of communication. It's our holistic approach to care that truly makes a difference.’ #SafeDischarge #PatientSupport #HospitalJourney
