Great article with a fresh perspective on a pervasive gap existing in even the best hospitals. We can fix it and dramtically de-stress a whole system!

A little news from Transitions:

This is a well-done, succinct article on a dilemma facing many rural hospitals. Some Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative members have spoken very specifically about this challenge in regards to their clinic locations -- they have clinics in small, rural communities that are not financially productive enough to support the major upgrades they need, but if the clinics were not present the communities would face significant healthcare access challenges. Another RWHC hospital is navigating this challenge with their OB unit -- the community needs additional OB access that requires renovation/expansion but the service does not produce enough revenue for the investment to make business sense. "Solutions" have been piecemeal at best: congressionally directed spending requests, assorted one-time ARPA funded opportunities at the local, state, and federal level, and generous local donors that understand need. None of these are holistic, systemic solution to our healthcare infrastructure needs in rural areas. And the issue becomes more acute if we add in the capital spending needs of rural EMS services!

It’s the big day! Six weeks of campaigning has passed quickly and now we get to vote. Today, we will post each party’s NHS and healthcare commitments from the big three parties, as a reminder of what we might expect. First, incumbent party: Conservative Party promises Here are the Conservative Party pledges, if they get another go (published 11/06/24). Healthcare highlights below (and link to the full manifesto at the end). The NHS Long-Term Workforce Plan will help shift care away from hospitals and into local communities. To support this, we will: ·        Expand Pharmacy First, including for menopause support, contraception and treatment for chest infections, freeing up 20 million GP appointments a year. ·        Build or modernise 250 GP surgeries, focused on areas of new housing growth. ·        Build 50 more Community Diagnostic Centres, including in underserved areas, resulting in an additional 2.5 million checks a year. We will invest £3.4 billion in new technology to transform the NHS for staff and for patients. The NHS Productivity Plan will see NHS productivity grow by 1.9% a year from 2025-26 – unlocking £35 billion of cumulative savings by the end of the decade. We will: ·        Make the NHS App the single front door for NHS services. Patients will use the App to access their medical records, order prescriptions, book vaccine appointments, access a digital red book and manage their hospital appointments. ·        Use AI to free up doctors’ and nurses’ time for frontline patient care. ·        Replace tens of thousands of outdated computers, slashing the 13 million hours in doctors’ and nurses’ time lost to IT issues every year and digitise NHS processes through the Federated Data Platform. ·        Fund technology to help clinicians read MRI and CT scans more quickly and accurately, speeding up results for 130,000 patients every year. ·        Create new incentives for improved performance, rewarding the best performing providers of care. ·        To support children, young people and adults with their mental health, we will expand coverage of Mental Health Support Teams from 50% to 100% of schools and colleges in England by 2030. https://lnkd.in/eTyzqkeE
