The Essential Role of Emotional Intelligence in Palliative Care Emotional Intelligence (EI) has emerged as a cornerstone in providing compassionate and effective palliative care. Understanding, managing, and effectively using emotions, both our own and others', is critical in addressing the complex needs of patients and their families during challenging times. The eiCOMPASS Project, supported by the Canadian Home Care Association, is pioneering in enhancing EI among healthcare providers, ensuring that care is not only skilled but also empathetic and responsive. Learn how this initiative is transforming palliative care by fostering a deeper connection between caregivers and those they serve: https://lnkd.in/gVc9Gjur #PalliativeCare #EmotionalIntelligence #HealthcareInnovation

ICYMI: Aledade, Inc. is the largest network of independent primary care organizations in the country, helping primary care practices, Community Health Centers (CHCs), Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), and health clinics deliver better care and thrive under value-based care. The utilization of ADTs supports transitional care management (TCM) to improve care coordination, prevent avoidable readmissions, and reduce costs. Approximately 1 in 7 TCM follow-ups prevent hospitalization, which saves approximately $15,000 in medical spending per admit. In 2022, ADTs provided by MX triggered approximately 2,000 TCM visit follow-ups and around 2,400 ED follow-ups, resulting in approximately $4.2 million dollars in savings while improving the quality of life and clinical outcomes for patients.

A simple encounter can shift the balance - it all begins with 'How are you?'. Hospitals and healthcare systems, let's not overlook the power of sincere patient communication. When a patient returns home, let's end with a genuine 'We appreciate you'. It's a quick win which can have a profound impact on readmissions, ultimately affecting the financial health of our hospitals. True patient care can be energy-giving, not draining. Let's all aim to be that source of positivity. Follow our page to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ejrKdNXs #PatientCare #HealthcareFinance #ReadmissionReduction

We recently collaborated with Transforming Care Partners to take stock of palliative care in California - where we've made progress and where there are still opportunities in the years ahead. Over 30 leaders across health plans, providers, community organizations, government, and associations shared insights based on their deep experience. This summary reflects the analysis and CHCF’s expertise on two fronts - the catalysts driving recent gains as well as priorities to accelerate future growth. Palliative care in California is at an inflection point, transitioning from startup mode but not yet an integrated standard of care. By reviewing what has worked and discussing stakeholder actions to maintain momentum, we aim to further strategic conversations on sustaining progress for equitable access to high-quality, person-centered palliative care across California over the next 15 years. The full report includes detailed examples of impactful work to date along with opportunities aligned to 5 key themes. See it now: https://lnkd.in/gYaQqp9B
