Integrated processes don’t just improve care quality—they also optimize efficiency. By streamlining communication and operations, staff can spend more time with residents, reduce redundancies, and better manage resources. This helps reduce costs while maintaining high standards of care. Efficiency in skilled nursing and assisted living is key to sustainability and improving resident satisfaction. #OperationalEfficiency #HealthcareQuality #BetterTogether #ahcancal #baldrige

New Year, New Curtains: A Resolution for Patient and Staff Wellbeing (and the Bottom Line) This year we are pledging to champion the installation of new hospital privacy curtains that prioritize the comfort and well-being of both patients and staff, all while being mindful of budgets. Privacy curtains are often seen as a mundane necessity, but they play a crucial role in the hospital experience. They: ✅ Protect patient dignity and privacy: During vulnerable moments, proper curtains ensure patients feel safe and respected. ✅ Reduce stress and anxiety: A calm, visually appealing environment can significantly improve patient well-being and recovery. ✅ Support staff efficiency: Easy-to-maneuver, hygienic curtains save valuable time for nurses and doctors. ✅ Enhance the overall hospital aesthetic: Outdated or stained curtains can create a negative impression. Fresh, modern curtains contribute to a positive atmosphere. You can find high-quality, cost-effective options that meet all your needs. Plus, the improved patient satisfaction, staff morale, and operational efficiency can lead to long-term cost savings. Join the Curtain Revolution! Let's make 2024 the year we prioritize patient and staff comfort, create a more positive hospital environment, and show that even small changes can make a big difference.

Most long-term care is not medical care, but rather assistance with the basic personal tasks of everyday life, sometimes called “activities of daily living.” These tasks include bathing, dressing, eating, using the toilet, and moving from place to place. Long-term care can be provided at home, in the community, in assisted living or in nursing homes. Most people prefer to receive long-term care in their own homes or in the community, but this is not always possible. When long-term care is needed, the goal is to help people maintain their health and independence for as long as possible. There are many different types of long-term care services and support, and the type of care you need will depend on your individual situation. #LongTermCare #ElderlyCare #HealthcareSolutions

"Whilst reactive cleaning will mitigate risk all year round, HCAI rates can be driven down further through the proactive implementation of decant ward cleans over the late spring/summer - early autumn months. Easier said than done of course as winter pressures are now a year-round phenomenon! Full ward decant cleans can be considered gold standard but are challenging to implement because of the need to protect bed capacity. Nevertheless, IP&C can think out of the box. 💡Are there any decommissioned wards that can be brought back into use to facilitate a programme of cleans? 💡Empty wards in other Trust/HB hospitals can be utilised. Although this sounds challenging the benefits are tremendous, preventing harm to patients and outbreaks which impact bed capacity when wards need to be reactively closed." Guidance for the Implementation of Hospital Ward Decant Deep Cleans, Liz Waters MBE MSc RN.

This is a good article on what we know as "Hospital at Home." However, I must share that I'm a little skeptical of some of the program's naysayers. Perhaps they bring certain biases to their perspectives. I'm interested in what others think of the article and "hospice at home" programs. Please share your views in the comments. #homehealth #hospiceathome #skillednursing

How do you make sure that a referral from A&E following an attendance, does not get disadvantage? If you have a patient on your new patient waiting list who attended A&E, was treated, but just needs an appointment to check everything is ok and they are not on an RTT pathway. As they have never been seen in the speciality before, they require a new patient appointment. They are on your new patient waiting list with no clock start date and no RTT clock, but they still need to be seen in chronological order. Just because they are not on an RTT clock does not make them any less of a priority. #healthcareadministration #nhs #nhscareers #training #trainingcourse #hospital #nhsjobs #seniormanagement

Did you know? Florence Nightingale, famously known as the “Lady with the Lamp,” wasn’t just a pioneer in nursing—she was a trailblazer in cleanliness and hygiene! During the Crimean War, Florence realized that the lack of sanitation in hospitals was causing more deaths than injuries themselves. Armed with a relentless commitment to clean environments, she implemented strict hygiene practices, transforming hospitals into healthier, safer places for soldiers and staff alike. The result? Death rates dropped from 42% to just 2%! Her belief that “cleanliness is the key to health” revolutionized not only nursing but also the very way we approach public health today. At ICS, we carry Florence Nightingale’s mission forward, ensuring that every space we clean contributes to healthier, safer environments. What lessons can we still learn from Florence’s dedication to hygiene and safety in today’s world? #CleanForHealth #FacilitiesManagement #HealthcareInnovation #ICS #FlorenceNightingale #ReThinkFacilityServices #CleanEnvironments
