What are the current facilitators, barriers, and needs for improvement regarding optimal hospital care in the dying phase?

Our study surveyed national health experts and identified crucial areas for improving hospital care during the dying phase, including better integration of specialized palliative care and enhanced support for informal caregivers. Thanks to all co-authors and contributors! Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eyb48Kha

Hot off the press! Effective triage is crucial in reducing preventable pediatric deaths. When new triage systems are introduced, it's important to assess their effectiveness before they are implemented by healthcare professionals in patient care. In this study, we evaluated a developed triage algorithm (Smart Triage) by comparing it with the World Health Organization’s Emergency Triage Assessment and Treatment (ETAT) guidelines.

Thrilled to share our latest research publication in Emergency Medicine Australasia on end-of-life care in Emergency Departments! I had the privilege of designing and coordinating data collection for this study, which delves into critical aspects of end-of-life patient care and the challenges ED clinicians face in recognising end-of-life presentations. Our findings recommend system-based strategies for timely symptom management, end-of-life pathway implementation and care continuity.

This is an important recognition of First Referral Hospitals (FRH's) - equally important to High Income Countries facing resource and health worker constraints.. There is an urgent need to include them in policy and planning to restore Trust, address Responsiveness and increase Quality and Efficiency of services within the healthcare pyramid. PHC must include basic acute and curative services. PHC is not BETTER but TOGETHER with Cure. "Irrespective of the global context, at the country levels, FRHs are expected to, at varying levels, provide essential health services and fulfil important roles in public-sector health systems."
And if you are wondering what a First Referral Hospital is it is commonly called a District Hospital too - but it seems we may have many different versions of these and think differently about whether they are part of Primary Health Care systems or not! https://lnkd.in/eiyVbiWB

In a recent American Journal of Emergency Medicine article, results of an emergency department-based program that provided screening of health-related social needs (HRSN) and subsequent navigation support for high-risk patients (high ED utilizers) were discussed. The HRSN assessment and navigation resulted in a 10% reduction in ED utilization in the subsequent 6 months, even with only one third of identified HRSN being successfully resolved. Interesting innovative program that has potential for even more.

This editorial from MHQP last month highlights the updated Massachusetts primary care dashboard from CHIA. I encourage people to read through this and raise awareness by reaching out to your legislators about the need for additional funding and strategies to preserve and support a sustainable network of primary care. The disparity in funding for child health as demonstrated by average pediatrician salary vs. family medicine and the lack of access to pediatric specialists is particularly notable as effective health care promotion and early prevention of complications of disease has the promise of a lifetime of improved outcomes and lower health care cost. Spending on preventive primary health care as a relative percentage of total health care cost needs to improve to reflect that goal. https://lnkd.in/eJXUSzjA
