🌟 Elevating Healthcare Through Self-Understanding: Insights from a CDI Team Lead 🌟 As a team lead for inpatient and outpatient Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI), I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact of self-awareness on patient care. When healthcare professionals grasp their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for growth, they pave the way for improved collaboration and efficiency. This heightened self-awareness translates directly into enhanced patient experiences. The journey towards self-awareness is a catalyst for continuous improvement within healthcare systems. By embracing their unique attributes and challenges, individuals foster a culture of accountability and excellence that resonates throughout patient care. Let's acknowledge the transformative power of self-awareness in healthcare and embrace its potential to elevate standards and redefine compassionate care. #HealthcareExcellence #SelfAwareness #CDI #PatientCare #TransformativeCare #Empowerment

🌀 WORKSHOP: Care Navigation/ Active Signposting 🌀 🔹Wednesday 24th April 2024 🔹9:30am - 12:30pm The key objective of Care Navigation and Active Signposting is to help patients access the right care at the earliest opportunity. It is a system of ‘triage’ carried out at the first point of contact with the GP Practice by non-clinical staff under direction of the clinical team. The key drivers for this patient centred approach is outlined in the 2023/24 contract. Patients must be offered and assessment of need, or signposted to an appropriate service, at first contact with the practice. Outcomes will include a more streamlined clinical workload, improving efficiencies in terms of access to services and increased patient satisfaction resulting in less complaints. It will achieve this by releasing valuable clinical time and resources. Staff will proactively manage requests for appointments and safely redirect requests for inappropriate consultations to the most suitable care provider, which may not always be clinical. 🔸Register here: https://lnkd.in/eHaV-6UC #PrimaryCare #CareNavigation #ActiveSignposting

Can patient satisfaction data give medical professionals a different view of how their work is valued and how they perform? With this “Voice of the Patient” platform, we envisioned a platform to ensure the patient’s voice is part of every medical center department. Medical centers want happy, satisfied patients who value their services. Mental well-being leads to better clinical outcomes. And patient satisfaction is increasingly important, especially with a raised focus on value-based healthcare. We created a platform that provides insight into the holistic patient experience, satisfaction, and underlying causes. The platform allows the staff to shift their focus from efficiency and quality of care to ensuring satisfaction for patients who value their care, leading to a different motivator for the staff. And with this platform, we ensure that the patient’s voice is a big part of every decision made at the hospital.  → View full case here: https://lnkd.in/esTdrFQf #patientsatisfaction #healthcare #patients #valuebasedcare #valuebasedhealthcare

Some common difficulties regarding patient discharges involve gaps in communication between care team members, inadequate education provided to patients and their families, and a lack of coordination with post-acute care services. These challenges can result in confusion, readmissions, and less-than-optimal patient outcomes. To ensure a seamless transition from the hospital to post-acute care settings, healthcare providers can consider implementing the following practical suggestions: Early Planning: Start discharge planning at admission to identify patient needs, post-discharge care requirements, and potential barriers to a smooth transition. Early planning facilitates timely arrangements for post-acute care services. This involves not only accurate screening of patients but also a thorough assessment to gather needed information to drive goals of care and later decision making. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Utilize an interdisciplinary team approach involving physicians, nurses, case managers, social workers, and other relevant professionals. This ensures a comprehensive discharge plan that addresses all patient care aspects. Clear Communication: Ensure clear and open communication with patients and their families about the discharge process, post-discharge care instructions, medication management, and follow-up appointments. Use understandable language to increase comprehension. Be realistic about what can be provided and what can not. Ensure considerations are taken into the patient's service area, goals of care, and insurance benefits.
